19" RACK BGTC CHROOM MOUNTED Honeywell Chrome Control Rack

Product Overview

The Honeywell 19" RACK BGTC CHROOM MOUNTED provides a high-strength housing solution for Honeywell automation controllers and critical electronic modules. This industrial-grade 19-inch rack organizes and protects sensitive DCS components within control rooms and manufacturing environments. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original equipment, ensuring structural integrity and precision alignment for standard 48.3 cm rack-mount hardware. Its specialized chrome finish offers superior resistance against industrial atmospheric contaminants.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Superior Corrosion Defense: The industrial chrome-plating shields the heavy-duty steel frame from oxidation and chemical exposure. This finish ensures the rack remains rust-free even in facilities with high humidity or corrosive airborne particulates, maintaining a clean grounding surface for installed electronics.

• Mechanical Vibration Damping: The rigid steel construction minimizes mechanical resonance. This stability protects sensitive processor cards and hard drives from the constant vibrations common in heavy industrial settings, such as compressor stations or turbine halls.

• Universal Component Adaptability: While specifically optimized for Honeywell BGTC components, the rack adheres to standard 19-inch dimensions. This allows engineers to consolidate Honeywell controllers and third-party networking hardware into a single, organized footprint.

• Flexible Installation Geometry: The enclosure supports both vertical wall-mounting for space-constrained locations and floor-mounting for high-density cabinet arrays. This adaptability simplifies control room layout planning and cable management.

• Optimized Thermal Airflow: The open-frame design promotes natural convection. By eliminating heat traps around the controller modules, the rack helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, extending the lifespan of the housed power supplies and CPUs.

Installation Guidelines

Before mounting the 19" RACK BGTC CHROOM MOUNTED, verify the structural integrity of the wall or floor surface. For wall-mount applications, use heavy-duty expansion bolts to support the combined weight of the rack and fully populated Honeywell modules. Ensure the rack is perfectly level to prevent mechanical stress on the backplane connectors of the controllers. Connect the rack frame to the plant’s common grounding bus using the dedicated grounding points to ensure proper EMI shielding for all installed hardware.

FAQs

• Does this rack include the mounting hardware for the controllers?

  This part number refers to the structural rack enclosure and mounting frame. Individual controller mounting kits and screws typically accompany the specific Honeywell modules, though the rack features standard pre-drilled holes for rapid installation.

• Can I install this rack in an outdoor environment?

  The chrome plating provides excellent moisture resistance, but for outdoor use, you must place this rack inside a secondary NEMA 4 or 4X rated enclosure to protect the internal electronics from direct rain and extreme UV exposure.

• How many units (U) of vertical space does the rack provide?

  The rack adheres to the standard 19-inch width; however, the vertical height depends on the specific BGTC configuration. Refer to your Honeywell system layout drawing to determine the total module density supported.

• Is the chrome finish purely aesthetic?

  No. In industrial automation, the chrome-plating serves a functional purpose by providing a conductive, corrosion-resistant surface that ensures reliable electrical bonding and grounding for all chassis-mounted equipment.
