Save up to 25% over traditionally designed electrical panels
The Proclip® and Prolight modular electrical panel frame and wire management systems from Satie shrink space requirements,
cut material costs, increase productivity and reduce weight.
(Toronto, Canada, 20 May 2010) —
Invented by Gino Faccin and Yves
Paris, French electrical engineers
with over 45 years of combined
electrical industry experience
designing and wiring electrical
control panels, the innovative
Proclip and Prolightmodular
electrical panel frame and wire
management systems (Figure 1)
from Satie are designed to help
OEM machine builders, system
integrators, panel builders,
switchgear manufacturers and
alike shrink space requirements,
cut material costs, increase productivity and reduce weight — saving users up to 25%
over traditionally designed electrical panels on combined material and labor costs.

The Proclip and Prolight systems
provide designers an intelligent way to
organize electrical enclosures. The
patented Proclip system is designed for
use in medium to large enclosures while
the Prolight system is suited for small to
medium enclosures with a shallow depth.
Both systems can be mounted in any type
of metallic or non-metallic industrial,
modular, electronic/IT, or power
distribution enclosure.
The Proclip and Prolight systems
have been engineered to maximize space
utilization. Users can shrink enclosure,
floor, and surface space requirements by 25% to 50% while providing a reserve
for future system expansion, upgrades or retrofits (Figure 2).
The Proclip and Prolight systems are made of high-strength, lightweight,
extruded aluminum, and meet or exceed the DIN 50018 corrosion standard.
Additionally, they are CSA approved (C22.2 No.14-05 and C22.2 No. 0-M91), and
UL Recognized (UL 508A - NITW2).
The Proclip and Prolight systems are designed to be very flexible, and accom-
modate any size or type of electrical component — even non-electrical components
like pneumatic directional control valve manifolds. This ability is accomplished
through a variety of slotted panel profiles that provide fast and easy component
attachment using slide nuts and bolts, and profiles with integrated TS35/10 DIN rails

for ‘snap-on’ component attachment. A snap-in or
bolt-on TS35/15 DIN rail is also available for those
applications that require a taller profile or a
45O offset DIN rail (See Figure 4) for easier
component accessibility.
The Proclip and Prolight panel profiles come
in various heights to fit the components on the row,
and are designed to be taller than the components
to provide better connection point accessibility. The
Proclip system has panel profile heights from 55mm
to 175mm in 20mm increments. The Prolight system
has profile heights of 55mm, 75mm, 95mm, 115mm
and 155mm. A 20mm extension is available for the
Prolight profiles for those applications which
require an offset DIN rail.
The versatility doesn’t stop there. The
Proclip profiles can be mounted horizontally,
vertically or a combination of both depending on
the application (See Figure 1, left). For those
applications that require a shallow depth, but
also need a combination of DIN rails and slotted
profiles we can integrate Proclip and Prolight
profiles into one panel frame assembly.
The combination of snap-in DIN rail and
profile flexibility also allows the designer to make
field modifications if the preassembled panel has

not been fully engineered

Satie provides our
customers with preassembled
panel frames. By doing so
component-to-panel
assembly time is reduced
by 80% - 90% because
panel layout/tracing; punch-
ing, drilling or tapping holes;
and cutting of DIN rail and
wire duct are eliminated. The preassembled panel frames have other advantages,
including elimination of wire duct size calculations by the engineering department;
ordering and processing one (1) part number instead of several; and storing and
managing less inventory.
Each Proclip panel is attached to the mounting pillar using a U-shaped
mounting bracket. The pillar, mounting bracket and panel combination creates an
integrated wire duct behind the panel, down each side (See Figures 3 & 4) — and
center depending on panel width — which shortens wire runs by up to 50%, and
simplifies the wiring process by allowing easier access to the wire and the ability for
wire segmentation. If wire segmentation is needed for horizontal runs, a divider is
available. A full panel length cover is available to keep the wire in the duct without
the need for cable ties.
The wire management combs are attached to the Proclip and Prolight panel
edges which allow the wires to be neatly organized while simultaneously holding
them in place. The wire management combs, integrated wire ducts and component

connection point accessibility on the Proclip system make the panels more ergonomic
which leads to easier and more efficient component wiring — reducing
component wiring time by 30%. (See Figure 5.)
The combs are engineered to hold a wide range of wire sizes by snapping
off tabs as needed for larger gauge wire. When wiring is completed covers can be
snapped onto the combs locking the wire in place and enhancing the panel’s aesthetics.
The covers are easily removable to provide access to the wire during troubleshooting.
Molded of halogen-free, plastic, the combs and covers have a -32OC to 60OC
(-25OF to 140OF) temperature rating and meet UL 94 flammability standards. The
combs and covers are available in blue or gray.
The clean panel design and wire placement behind the panel allows for a
natural air flow across the components which dissipates more heat and increases

component longevity. Additionally, it improves component accessibility making
serviceability easier and faster.
The light weight of the Proclip and Prolight panel frames, the reduction of
enclosure size, and the reduction in wire all add up to an assembled electrical
enclosure weight reduction of up to 40% — saving money on shipping costs and
manpower to install. In addition, assembled Proclip and Prolight panel frames meet
or exceed the DIN EN 60721-3-2 shock and vibration standard.
Electrical systems designers can send a CAD drawing or hand-sketched
diagram of a current or needed panel and within 24 hours Satie engineers will
analyze the panel, conduct a takeoff and provide a Proclip or Prolight panel
schematic and cost comparison. Assembled Proclip or Prolight panels are
manufactured and shipped within 2 days of receiving a purchase order.
Since their inception, the Satie Proclip and Prolightmodular panel frames
have been used in a wide variety of industries and applications around the world.
Some of these applications include automotive conveying systems, injection molding,
packaging and other specialized machinery, heat treating furnaces, hospital
switchgear, oil platform control rooms, lighting control panels for retail stores,
elevator control systems, and water treatment equipment.
