What makes our switches better?

Building block design allows for digital switching outputs

Weather sealed to NEMA and IP ratings

UL, CSA, ATEX, IEC Ex, INMETRO certified for hazardous

(explosive) environments

Designed with the end user in mind, these switches help to create

user-friendly interfaces with broad application possibilities to help

meet the challenges of many different environments

Available with gold contacts, low-temp seals, and

bronze corrosion-resistant housing

MICRO SWITCH CX Series

Weather-Sealed, Explosion-Proof Switches

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 ame paths so explosion proof

requirements are maintained. Unless special ordered, all basic switches operate on clockwise and counterclockwise

rotation. The actuating mechanism can be eld adjusted for CW or CCW operation only. No tools are required.

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.

MEETS HAZARDOUS AREA REQUIREMENTS

UL Listed, file #E14274, 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.

Available with digital or analog outputs
