Rittal 6372542 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size front panel does the Rittal 6372542 Comfort Panel enclosure accept?
The 6372542 is sized for a 520 mm front panel width and a 400 mm front panel height, with 152 mm of installation depth behind it. Size your HMI or display cutout plate to those front panel figures, and check that your operator terminal plus wiring fits within the 152 mm depth before committing.
2) Will the Rittal 6372542 mount on a support arm system I already have?
It is built for support arm mounting and has a 130 mm support arm connection with a cut-out in the enclosure for it. Rittal states compatibility with all Rittal stand and support arm systems, so a 130 mm Rittal arm interface mates directly. For a non-Rittal arm, the deciding factor is whether the arm terminates in a 130 mm connection.
3) Is an IP 65 / NEMA 12 operator enclosure good enough for a wash-down area?
IP 65 to IEC 60 529 and EN 60 529 means dust tight and protected against water jets, and Rittal gives it an equivalent NEMA 12 protection category. NEMA 12 covers dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. For routine dusty or splashed machine areas that is appropriate. If your washdown involves high-pressure, high-temperature spray, that is a NEMA 4X class duty and this enclosure is not rated to it.
4) Can the support arm come in from the other side, or do I have to order a different version?
No second part number needed. The connection point on the 6372542 can be swapped by rotating the enclosure, so the arm can enter from the opposite side depending on how the machine is laid out. Note the rear panel hinges on the longest side, so plan your service clearance around that once you have set the orientation.
5) Does the aluminum housing help with heat from a built-in operator terminal?
Yes, that is the reason for the material choice. Aluminum has high thermal conductivity, so the housing itself carries heat out passively, which matters on a sealed IP 65 enclosure where you cannot use vented cooling. It also keeps the weight down on a support arm while staying stable, so the arm is not carrying a steel box out at full extension.
6) What lock comes on the Rittal 6372542, and can I change it to match my other panels?
It ships with a 3 mm double-bit lock insert. That can be exchanged for 41 mm lock inserts, plastic handles, or T-handles, so a plant standardizing on one key or handle type across its machine stations can convert it rather than live with two systems. Lock inserts and handles are ordered separately.
7) What is included with the Rittal 6372542 besides the enclosure body?
Along with the aluminum housing and hinged rear panel, it comes with the 3 mm double-bit lock insert, type C seals, and the assembly components for mounting front panels. It is supplied one piece per packaging unit at 11.7 kg. The front panel itself, the support arm, and any lock or handle upgrade are separate items.
8) Is this the right Rittal enclosure for a wall-mounted control panel?
No. The 6372542 is an operator console style enclosure configured for support arm mounting, with a 130 mm arm connection and a cut-out in the body for it. For a fixed wall installation you want a wall-mounted compact or box enclosure instead, since the arm cut-out and the arm interface serve no purpose on a wall and the console geometry is built around standing at the machine.
9) How do I get to the wiring inside the Rittal 6372542 once it is mounted on the machine?
Service access is from the back. The rear panel is hinged on the longest side, so it swings open rather than having to be unbolted and set down while you are standing at the machine. Allow swing clearance behind the enclosure when you pick the arm position and the rotation of the body.
10) What is the Rittal part number for this aluminum Comfort Panel with the 130 mm arm connection?
Order it as Rittal 6372542. That number is the aluminum Comfort Panel enclosure in the support arm connection 130 mm version, for a 520 mm by 400 mm front panel with 152 mm installation depth, rated IP 65 / NEMA 12. Rittal builds this family in several front panel sizes and connection versions, so the number is what pins down the exact one.
