The Allen-Bradley 2711E-UK12EK10 is a specialized industrial-grade hardware migration and adapter bezel kit designed to facilitate mechanical upgrades on the plant floor. This integration kit allows for the seamless retrofitting of a 10.4-inch PanelView 1000e keypad terminal into an existing enclosure cutout previously occupied by a larger 12-inch PanelView 1200e keypad station. By utilizing this kit, operators can avoid costly panel re-engineering or manual sheet-metal modifications, maintaining the structural integrity and environmental protection of the control enclosure.

Features

• Designed for precise mechanical transition from legacy 12-inch PanelView 1200e to 10.4-inch PanelView 1000e keypad terminals.
• Constructed from heavy-gauge carbon steel with an industrial-grade anti-corrosive powder coating.
• Includes high-density compression gaskets to maintain NEMA Type 4X/12 enclosure ratings.
• Features pre-positioned stud mounts and integrated locking hardware for secure, vibration-resistant installation.
• Distributes fastening pressure evenly to prevent panel deformation and ensure a reliable seal against dust, oil, and moisture.

Applications

This migration kit is primarily utilized in heavy continuous-automation environments, including automotive manufacturing, water treatment facilities, and chemical processing plants, where legacy HMI hardware requires replacement without replacing the entire control cabinet door or enclosure.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the control cabinet power is disconnected before beginning any mechanical modifications or hardware removal.
• Clean the existing enclosure cutout surface thoroughly to ensure the compression gaskets form a proper seal.
• Align the adapter plate with the existing cutout; use the provided perimeter studs and locking hardware to secure the assembly.
• Verify that the gasket is seated correctly around the entire perimeter to maintain NEMA environmental protection.
• Tighten fasteners in a cross-pattern to ensure even pressure distribution and prevent warping of the adapter or panel surface.

FAQ

What is the primary purpose of the 2711E-UK12EK10 kit?

This kit is an adapter bezel designed to allow a smaller 10.4-inch PanelView 1000e terminal to be mounted into a cutout originally designed for a larger 12-inch PanelView 1200e terminal, eliminating the need for cutting or welding the cabinet.

Does this kit maintain the NEMA rating of the enclosure?

Yes, when installed correctly according to the provided guidelines and using the included high-density gaskets, the kit is designed to maintain NEMA Type 4X and Type 12 environmental sealing boundaries.
