BS-82 II “improved version” V4
The doors can be removed (unhooked) for easier
maintenance operations and therefore less
footprint is required (Improvement)
Space for LE increased from 2 HU to 2.5 HU

not applicable for V4)
New door lock mechanism: The

door handle can incorporate a key
cylinder (Improvement)
New material with better resistance to corrosion –

communicaton only if it is relevant to the customer

■ Time frame : from 01.07.2006, but the lead free soldering topic for the
Telecommunication equipment is officially handled as an exception until
2010.
■ However, Siemens has made the voluntary commitment to deliver according

with the regulation RoHS from January 2008 onwards ,(including the soldering).
