Quick Summary

Eaton EFS2184 SA Pushbutton is a rugged control station designed for hazardous-location applications in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle to balance safety, regulatory compliance, and easy maintenance when integrating equipment in harsh environments. This model supports area classifications for hazardous/classified locations, NEC/CEC compliance, and a 600 Vac rating, along with a NEMA 3, 7, 9 protection profile, delivering reliable operation. The copper-free aluminum enclosure resists corrosion while keeping weight manageable. Its single-gang footprint, 3/4" hub, and dead-end style simplify installation in tight spaces, reduce lifecycle costs, and support scalable automation across process lines.

FAQs

For hazardous locations, ensure proper enclosure rating and routing per NEC/CEC guidelines. Use the 3/4" hub for correct conduit entry, maintain the single-gang footprint for panel space, and follow IF 328 instructions for single- and two-gang device bodies to ensure safe mounting, grounding, and wiring in Class I/II environments.
The 600 Vac rating supports direct switching of line-voltage devices like motors and relays, eliminating the need for additional relays in many installations. This reduces wiring complexity, shortens installation time, and enhances operational safety by keeping high-voltage paths within a certified enclosure when used with compatible devices.
Yes. The EFS2184 SA is part of Eaton's explosionproof control station family and is supported by mounting resources such as the SP3D design package and installation sheets (IF 328). This enables seamless integration with EDS/EFS bodies and simplifies installation, testing, and validation in hazardous environments.
The unit carries Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification, NEC/CEC compliance, and NEC hazardous ratings (Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; Class III), along with a NEMA rating of 3, 7, 9. These certifications support regulatory approvals, safer operation, and easier project sign-off in process industries.
Maintenance benefits include corrosion resistance from the copper-free aluminum enclosure and reduced wiring complexity from the single-gang, 3/4" hub design. Over time this lowers parts replacement, downtime, and labor costs, contributing to a favorable return on investment in facilities with frequent control station servicing or hazardous-location operations.
