The units are available with silver or black anodised finish for good resistance to wear and tear. Two types of end panels are available: either a flat aluminium panel, retained to the case body by a plastic bezel or a one-piece moulded plastic panel. There are seven sizes in the family ranging from 80 x 54 x 23mm to 220 x 103 x 53mm; the two largest sizes have a removable cover on the case body to allow access to the PCB when it is in situ; these units will accept a standard 100 x 160mm or 100 x 220mm Eurocard respectively. All sizes of the 1455 are supplied complete with fixings and self-adhesive rubber feet; flange brackets that enable the unit to be mounted directly to a shelf or wall are also available as an optional accessory. *** Ends: body copy 181 words *** Notes to Editors.
