MICRO SWITCH™ Weather-Sealed, Explosion-Proof SwitchesCX Series
●MICRO SWITCH™ CX switches are built especially for outdoor use in hazardous atmospheres. These enclosures are constructed to withstand the pressure of an internal explosion. Flame paths cool the exploded gases to a point less than the lowest safe operating temperature of the surrounding gas.
●MICRO SWITCH™ 80CX Series switches have rugged bronze housings that are designed to be resistant to salt water and other corrosive environments. They comply with the NEMA 4X requirement for protection against corrosion, in addition to NEMA enclosure standards met by other CX switches.
●The product's o-ring seals make the enclosure rain tight, but are outside of required flame paths so explosion proof requirements are maintained. Unless special ordered, all basic switches operate on clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. The actuating mechanism can be field adjusted for CW or CCW operation only. No tools are required.
●Features and Benefits
■WELL-SUITED FOR EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
▲MICRO SWITCH™ CX Series switches are certified for applicable portions of NEMA 7 and 9 for hazardous locations (explosive environments). Select CX switches are certified to ATEX, IEC Ex, and INMETRO specifications for global applications.
■WATERTIGHT AND DUST-TIGHT FOR OUTDOOR USE
▲Due to its engineering design and sealing (NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, and 13), the MICRO SWITCH™ CX Series is rated for rain, wind, snow, ice, and blowing dust environments.
■CORROSION RESISTANT
▲Bronze housing material is available on 80CX Series catalog listings.
■4 MA TO 20 MA ANALOG OUTPUT AVAILABLE
▲Allows for use in accurate positioning applications, such as those found on seaside grain and fuel-loading docks, oil and gas wells, refineries, chemical plants, and more.
■MEETS HAZARDOUS AREA REQUIREMENTS
▲UL Listed, file #E14274, Analog UL file #E68247, CSA Certified, file #LR57324, ATEX certificate KEMA 01ATEX2111 X, IEC Ex certificate IEC Ex TSA 06.003X, and INMETRO certificate TUV 14.0553.
■OPTIONAL HOUSING CHOICES
▲CX Series switches offer a choice of rugged cast aluminum or bronze housings. Both housings withstand harsh environments, and bronze is available for use in corrosive environments.
■UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURES
Featuring field-adjustability, the CX Series allows pretravel, overtravel, and actuating sequence to be field adjusted without tools (all basics can be adjusted individually). Rotary types convert in seconds to clockwise, counterclockwise, or both-way operation. These features may help to reduce set up time while allowing for quick and easy changes to switch operation.
