Heat pumps

Heat pumps are an integral part of the planning in numerous construction projects. Unfortunately, heat pumps rarely enhance the aesthetics of a building. For this reason, heat pumps are designed to be as compact as possible and the available space is used as efficiently as possible. However, this means that the space for the power distribution is very limited. To address this problem, various manufacturers use the FIX distribution and device terminal blocks.

Motor connection for electric window coverings

Electric window coverings have become standard in new buildings and are also increasingly being retrofitted in existing building stock. The motor is often connected directly to the switch or the controller. In contrast, the FIX blocks provide a space-saving, yet clear and easy-to-service connection of the drive motor. With the large number of mounting options, the FIX blocks can be installed in the optimum position in the window covering box.

Charging station

The FIX block system is suitable for use in charging stations. Here, the FIX blocks can be used, for instance, in the input area for current distribution from the trunk line to the internal components. Furthermore, the FIX blocks can also be used for intermediate distribution between the control unit and the display unit or in the output area for the sensor connection in the charging connector.

Heating circuit distributor

The FIX block system is ideal for wiring heating circuit distributors. With its compact design and flexible mounting options, it can be used in almost every heating circuit distributor. The distribution blocks in gray, blue, and green-yellow can be used to wire the power supply (L / N / PE). The device terminal blocks or single blocks enable a clear and manageable feed-through connection for the control lines between the thermostat and heating circuit valve. Depending on requirements, the terminal points can be differentiated in color or using a marking. If thermostats have to control several heating circuits in parallel, the control cables can also be connected in FIX distribution blocks.

Distributor box

The FIX block system is also suitable for use in subdistribution systems. With the integrated bridging, the distribution blocks in particular provide a quick and easy opportunity to collect and distribute potentials.

Distributor boxes

The device terminal blocks and distribution blocks can also be used in larger distribution boxes. Here, the FIX device terminal blocks or distribution blocks can be used for the clear connection of lighting systems, monitoring systems, or other end consumers, for example. Depending on the distribution box, FIX blocks with lateral or front connection can be selected.

The FIX block system in harsh working environments The FIX distribution blocks are also suitable for use in areas where dirt and dust are part of the daily ambient conditions.

Battery-powered construction equipment

In a variety of devices, such as high-pressure cleaners and battery-powered vibratory plates, terminal blocks are used as terminal points. Due to the prevailing vibration, the simple screw connections can come loose over time, which leads to recurring failures and repair work. To counteract this problem, some manufacturers use device terminal blocks from the FIX block system.

Cranes and other lifting equipment

Distribution blocks or device terminal blocks of the FIX block system can also be used in lifting equipment such as cranes or lifting platforms. To distribute the main power supply to the various motors, the distribution blocks are installed in the control panels or control boxes, for example. Device terminal blocks can also be used to connect the control lines of the sensors to the control devices. This ensures reliable communication and control.

Excavators and loaders

Distribution blocks and device terminal blocks of the FIX block system can also be used in excavators and loaders. The components are designed to make electrical connections safe and efficient, which is crucial in construction machinery. As with lifting equipment, the FIX blocks distribute electrical energy or signals from one main source to several branches. This is important for supplying power to various parts of the machine, such as motors, sensors, and controllers. Especially with excavators, it is necessary to be able to control various hydraulic motors and sensors. In addition, the FIX blocks enable the distribution of electrical current for the vehicle’s electrical systems, such as ignition or lighting.

Drum mixers

The FIX block system can also be a component of drum mixers. The device terminal blocks enable quick, compact, and easy connection of the rotary motor. With the high degree of flexibility during mounting and the various connection directions, the control unit can be designed to be as compact as possible. In addition, the integration of the blocks simplifies maintenance and replacement of one of the components.

Motorized devices and tools

Distribution blocks and device terminal blocks of the FIX block system are suitable for connecting electric motors as well as gasoline or diesel engines. In the case of electric motors, the FIX blocks can be installed in the control panel to distribute the main power supply to the various motors. The device terminal block blocks can be used to connect the control lines from the motors to the control devices. In gasoline or diesel engines, the distribution blocks can be used to distribute the electrical energy from the battery to various electrical systems of the vehicle, such as ignition, lighting, and sensors. As with electric motors, the device terminal blocks can connect the control lines from the sensors to the control devices, which enables precise control and monitoring of the motor functions.

The FIX block system in medical technology The FIX block system has such a high degree of reliability and long-term stability that the system can even be used in medical areas without hesitation.

Devices for diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI)

Distribution blocks and device terminal blocks of the FIX block system are also suitable for connecting devices for imaging diagnostics. They are very compact, maintenance-free, and extremely flexible. For example, in an MRI device (magnetic resonance imaging), the blocks can supply power to the various sensors and detectors and ensure reliable communication and control.

Operating tables and hospital beds

The FIX block system is also used in hospital beds and operating tables. In the case of hospital beds, the adjustability of the beds improves patient care by supporting comfort and pain management, enhancing mobility, optimizing respiratory function and circulation, and helping prevent pressure sores. Since the beds still need to remain compact and mobile, the FIX block system is ideally suited. Due to their modularity, the FIX blocks can be configured precisely according to the required number of positions, enabling easy and compact wiring. In addition, the various mounting options of the blocks provide flexible installation at virtually any location.
