The number in the designation should not be treated according to the principle that “higher is better”. The required rating is linked to the requirements of the specific project. Before ordering EI30 or EI60 doors, the project documentation should therefore be checked to confirm which solution is required.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about selecting, manufacturing, installing, modernising and servicing lift equipment.
If the project specifies this particular rating, it should be stated when selecting and ordering the product. This makes it possible to check from the outset that the door meets the required characteristics. The fire resistance rating should be agreed together with the other parameters of the specific order.
No. The requirements depend on the type and purpose of the space and on the regulations applicable to the specific project, whether it is a residential building, office building or technical room. The project documentation may specify different fire resistance ratings for different areas within the same building. The specific project requirements should therefore be followed rather than relying on a general assumption.
No. The material a door is made from does not by itself confirm a particular fire resistance rating. The declared characteristics of the specific door and the documentation confirming them should be checked. Standard metal doors and fire-rated doors should therefore not be treated as the same type of product.
The first step is to define the equipment that will be installed inside the enclosure. Its layout, connections and installation conditions should then be considered. Only after this can the enclosure dimensions be assessed in the context of the specific technical specification.
The installation location is an important part of the technical specification for the enclosure. It should be considered together with the equipment configuration, connection method and environmental conditions. The final configuration should therefore be agreed after all the initial project data has been defined.
BETABOX-ST should be considered when the project requires a stainless steel enclosure. This may be due to environmental conditions or specific requirements for the equipment design. The final choice should be made after assessing the actual installation conditions.
No. The steel grade is only one of the product parameters. The type of environment, installation location and requirements for the complete enclosure also need to be considered. Selection should therefore begin with the operating conditions rather than the housing material alone.
It is important to define the operating conditions and installation method. Euroformat positions BETABOX for wall-mounted indoor installation. If the environmental conditions differ, the appropriate series and configuration should be checked separately for the specific project.
The enclosure dimensions need to match the type and arrangement of the components installed inside. Space for installation and cable routing should also be taken into account. Selecting an enclosure only by its external dimensions, without an equipment list, may therefore be insufficient.
Yes. The series is designed for more than electrical components. BETABOX can also accommodate telephone cross-connect equipment and active and passive components of local computer networks. Before ordering, the equipment list should be matched to the enclosure configuration.
BETABOX belongs to Euroformat’s wall-mounted range, while the STD series is designed for floor-standing installation. The installation method should be selected according to the equipment configuration and site conditions. These series should therefore not be treated as interchangeable based only on similar dimensions.
