Limit and Enclosed Switches EX Series

Explosion-Proof Switches

Honeywell1 Sensing and Control11-800-537-6945 USA1F1-815-235-6847 International11-800-737-3360 CanadaA121

Single-Conduit

Connect Switch*

* See page A124 for double conduit connect switches.

EX switches feature the smallest UL-listed

housings available for use in hazardous lo-

cations. Flame paths within the housing

cool exploding gases below the kindling

temperature before they reach the explosive

gases surrounding the housing.

The enclosed switching unit, which is held in

place by screws, is accessible when the

cover plate is removed. A tapped conduit

opening is located in one end of one group

of EX listings (pages A122-A123); while a

second group (page A124) has a conduit

opening in each end of the switch.

These switches are not sealed against liq-

uids and are not intended to be subjected to

liquid splash or for outdoor applications. If a

sealed explosion-proof switch is required,

refer to the type CX and LSX.
