Eaton Crouse-Hinds EDS215 SA Pushbutton Station - Hazardous

Copper-free aluminum enclosure provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight, reducing installation fatigue and lifecycle maintenance in hazardous locations. The absence of copper minimizes galvanic corrosion in humid or chemically aggressive environments while maintaining mechanical strength for operator buttons and terminals. The two-circuit, two-device arrangement supports a compact control-station design, enabling clear signaling paths and streamlined downstream wiring. The EDS215 SA’s construction also supports compatibility with Eaton's broader hazardous-area family, easing future deployments. The 600 Vac rating enables direct switching of lighting circuits, interlocks, and motor-control devices, reducing the need for external transformers or reducers and cutting panel depth. With a 3/4 inch trade size and single-gang footprint, the unit fits cramped enclosures while preserving operator visibility and access. The dead-end style and robust pushbutton mechanism resist dust and vibration, improving uptime in harsh environments. NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, Class III provide regulatory assurance for installation in oil, gas, chemical, and mining facilities, while NEMA 3, 7, 9 protect against ingress and explosive atmospheres. The copper-free aluminum enclosure contributes to lighter assemblies, lowering transport costs and improving maintenance access in confined spaces. From a procurement perspective, consolidating two devices into a single-gang package reduces BOM complexity and inventory requirements. Two pushbuttons and two devices in a single-gang package simplify wiring diagrams and terminations, shortening commissioning time. Availability of Eaton installation resources—IF 328 instruction sheets and the EDS/EDSX catalog pages—helps field technicians plan, install, and document updates with confidence.
