Product Description

The 5A2001.02 lockable viewing door, manufactured by B&R Automation, is part of the 5A2 series and is designed specifically for external floppy disk drives, including models 5A2001.01 and 5A2001.05. This component provides an additional layer of security and protection, featuring a transparent door that allows easy monitoring while maintaining a high level of security with its integrated lock. The door is equipped with a gasket seal that ensures IP55 protection, safeguarding the device against dust and water ingress, making it highly reliable for use in industrial environments.

This lockable viewing door is certified with CE, UKCA, and cULus E115267 certifications, underscoring its compliance with stringent industrial control equipment standards. The device is designed to be integrated into a housing suitable for installation on a control panel. For added versatility, it can also be mounted using an installation plate that provides additional space for two optional entry devices, such as a switch, thereby enhancing its usability in complex industrial setups. The external floppy disk drive connects seamlessly to the 25-pin DSUB socket, but it is important to note that a second parallel device cannot be operated on this interface (LPT), ensuring dedicated and efficient operation.

The 5A2001.02 operates on LPT1 with an interrupt setting of 6 and an I/O address range of 3FOh - 3F7h, aligning with general PC specifications. However, due to the sensitivity of this interface, especially regarding EMC and cable placement, it should be handled with caution and is recommended for service use only. Made in Austria, this lockable viewing door exemplifies B&R Automation's commitment to quality and precision in their industrial components, offering a dependable solution for securing and protecting external floppy disk drives in demanding environments.
