Components

RFI Industries is able to supply a large range of enclosure components.

Enclosure Components

Panels

Our modular series panels are constructed of a layer of zinc plated, 24 gauge steel sheets, laminated to both sides of high moisture resistance panels. The walls, floor and ceiling panels are of the same construction. Each panel is nominally 2.4m by 1.2m. The panels are joined and supported by specially designed members that clamp the edges of the panels and provide continuous, uniform and constant pressure contact against the shielding elements of the panels. The walls are self supporting from floor to ceiling with no bracing against the parent room construction. The ceiling may be self supporting or supported by hangers from the structure ceiling.

Framing System

The steel framing system consists of four types of section; "M," "U," "hat" and "flat." The "M" and "U" sections form the corner joints and the "hat" and "flat" sections form the intermediate joints. These sections are made of zinc plated steel. The "M" and "hat" sections have nustserts (a captive nut system) fixed at 10 cm centres. The "U" and "flat" sections have corresponding punched holes. The entire framework is supplied with integral interconnecting tabs to enable erection and dismantling to be carried out without undue loss of time.

Ventilation

RFI enclosures are equipped with waveguide vents which are designed to permit maximum airflow for cooling, heating and ventilation without degrading the shielding efficiency of the enclosure. RFI waveguide vents provide a maximum head loss of 0.1 inches of water at 1500 feet per minute air velocity. Special sizes and assemblies can be made to order.

RF Filters

Every wire entering an RF shielded enclosure requires a filter to prevent conducted signals from entering the enclosure. RFI will supply and fit the necessary filters for both mains power and signal or control lines to ensure that the overall RF integrity of the enclosure is maintained. As a separate service, RFI stocks and supplies a full range of RFI filters to MIL-STD-220A. Ask for our separate catalogue which covers filters from 100mAmps to 400 Amps rating.

Exhaust Fans

RFI can supply and fit wall or ceiling mounted exhaust fans to an enclosure. These exhaust fans are fitted over a standard waveguide vent, Part No. WG230/230. Control switches can be supplied for three speed and reverse flow operation.

Penetrations

RFI provides a complete range of RF penetrations for signal, data, water, fire monitoring etc., connections. RF connectors (N, UHF, BNC etc.), can be manufactured to fit on one penetration panel or made to suit a particular layout as required. Special waveguide entries for water, air, gas or fibre optics are readily available from our fully equipped manufacturing facility at Bayswater.

Clear View Windows

RFI Industries' clear view window provides a clear sharp view into an enclosure. The window, fully glazed on both sides, incorporates a stainless steel mesh configured to eliminate moire effects.

Architectural Treatment

Standard enclosures include heavy duty vinyl tile floor covering, with the interior and exterior finished in hard wearing lacquer to the customer's colour choice. Optional extra interior finishes can be provided at extra cost and include acoustic tiling, pre-finished plywood, veneers or special finishes to walls and ceilings.

Most conventional architectural treatments are compatible with these modular enclosures. Suspended ceiling systems utilising aluminium grids and plain or acoustic paneling enhance the interior. Walls may also be treated with acoustic paneling, wall paper or painting in a wide range of colours.

Special effect lighting, wall or ceiling mounted, complements the interior decor whilst floors may be finished in carpet tiles.

Design Installation Testing

RFI Industries offers a complete service to customers requiring consultation and design for M.R.I. facilities. In addition, our experienced teams travel world wide to meet shielding enclosure installation and testing requirements. RFI Industries has designed the S900 System to provide versatility and reliability which will encompass a complete range of installation requirements to suit the majority of MR Suppliers. Our engineers are always pleased to discuss any unique requisite with supplier and architect so do not hesitate to contact them with your enquiries. RFI Industries Pty Limited provides full testing facilities for testing to MIL-STD-285 and NSA 65-6. Every installation is tested and certified.  Testing and certification is also offered as a separate service.
