APC by Schneider Electric CW 600MM Controller Upgrade with Front and Rear Doors - WRC600UPG-SPL2

APC by Schneider Electric WRC600UPG-SPL2 600mm Chilled Water Controller Upgrade with Front and Rear Doors

Overview

The WRC600UPG-SPL2 is APC by Schneider Electric's controller upgrade kit for 600mm-wide chilled water (CW) precision cooling units, supplied as a single packaged component (Unit Type: PCE, quantity 1). If you are modernizing an existing row-cooling deployment and need to bring controller functionality up to current spec while retaining your physical enclosure footprint, this upgrade path avoids a full unit replacement. The kit ships with both front and rear doors included, so you are not sourcing enclosure hardware separately. For sizing and compatibility confirmation against your existing CW row-cooling units, contact pre-sales engineering before ordering — this upgrade targets a specific chassis generation and footprint.

Key Features

• 600mm Form Factor Compatibility: Designed for the 600mm-wide row-cooling chassis family — confirm your existing unit's width before ordering, as APC's CW line spans multiple widths. A mismatch here means the upgrade cannot be installed.
• Front and Rear Door Inclusion: Both enclosure doors ship with the WRC600UPG-SPL2 (often searched as WRC600UPG SPL2), eliminating a secondary parts order and reducing installation staging complexity.
• Single-Unit Package: Ships as one packaged piece (PCE ×1), streamlining receiving and inventory tracking in facilities with strict asset management workflows.
• Substantial Shipping Weight: The packaged unit weighs 63.234 kg (approximately 139.4 lbs) with package dimensions of 194.5 cm × 92.1 cm × 55.9 cm — plan for two-person lift and appropriate freight handling. Standard parcel carriers are not appropriate for this shipment.

Integration and Compatibility

This controller upgrade is intended for APC by Schneider Electric's chilled water precision cooling line. Specific firmware, protocol, and BMS integration details are not available in current evidence — request the full compatibility matrix from APC's infrastructure team or your pre-sales contact to confirm fit with your EcoStruxure or third-party building management environment before committing to the upgrade. Review the APC by Schneider Electric product catalog for related precision cooling components and accessories in the same family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the WRC600UPG-SPL2 a standalone cooling unit or an upgrade component?

A: It is an upgrade component — specifically a controller upgrade kit for an existing 600mm chilled water row-cooling enclosure. It is not a standalone precision cooling unit.

Q: Do the front and rear doors ship included, or are they ordered separately?

A: Both front and rear doors are included with the WRC600UPG-SPL2 as packaged. No separate door order is required.

Q: What are the shipping dimensions and weight for freight planning?

A: The packaged unit measures 194.5 cm (L) × 92.1 cm (W) × 55.9 cm (H) and weighs 63.234 kg (approximately 139.4 lbs). Freight lift equipment and two-person handling are required.

Q: Is this compatible with EcoStruxure IT or third-party BMS platforms?

A: Specific integration and protocol details are not confirmed in current evidence. Contact APC pre-sales engineering or request the product's compatibility documentation to verify BMS and software integration before ordering.

The WRC600UPG-SPL2 is a targeted infrastructure upgrade — not a casual line-item. At 63.234 kg packaged and nearly two meters in package length, this ships freight, not parcel, and that alone should tell you something about the pre-planning required before it arrives on your dock.

Technical Highlights:

• Controller Upgrade Scope: Replaces the controller assembly within an existing 600mm CW row-cooling chassis — avoids full unit CapEx while bringing the control layer current.
• Door Completeness: Front and rear doors included in the single PCE package — a detail that matters when staging an upgrade in a live data hall where sourcing secondary parts mid-job is disruptive.
• Package Dimensions: 194.5 cm × 92.1 cm × 55.9 cm at 63.234 kg — requires coordinated freight receiving, appropriate staging space, and two-person lift minimum before the enclosure bay is even opened.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your existing row-cooling unit is the correct 600mm chassis generation before ordering — APC's CW line spans multiple widths and controller generations, and a generation mismatch means the upgrade does not install.
• Functional specs (cooling capacity, control protocols, BMS integration points) are not available in current evidence — do not spec this into a project without APC's full compatibility documentation in hand.

The WRC600UPG-SPL2 fits one scenario well: a facilities or data center team running an existing APC 600mm CW row-cooling deployment that needs controller modernization without the downtime and cost of full unit replacement. If that matches your situation and you have confirmed chassis compatibility, this is the right path. If you are starting fresh or unsure of chassis generation, evaluate current-generation units in the precision cooling category first.
