FAQs
Installation begins with de-energizing the circuit, then mounting the unit in a suitable enclosure. Connect the wiring to the 3-way terminals, ensuring the 1 x 3/4 inch NPT entry is utilized for conduit ingress. Verify IP66 integrity after sealing and test operation before returning the system to service. The thermoplastic body resists corrosion, aiding long-term reliability in harsh environments.
This switch is rated for 16 A at 250 VAC and supports a 3-way configuration. It is designed for use in hazardous locations with NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX compliance, offering reliable switching in demanding industrial lighting circuits while maintaining safe current handling and voltage performance.
Yes. The device carries IECEx/ATEX certification and NEC/CEC standards, classifying it for Hazardous/Classified Locations. It is designed to operate with confidence in Zone 1, Zone 2, and similar hazardous areas, ensuring compliance and safer operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities.
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and other heavy industrial sectors benefit from the IP66-rated protection, Ex-certified compliance, and robust thermoplastic enclosure. The 3-way configuration supports multi-location control, boosting efficiency in large facilities while reducing wiring complexity and maintenance downtime.
Expect reduced downtime due to durable IP66 protection and corrosion-resistant thermoplastic housing, with fewer component failures in harsh environments. The 16 A, 250 VAC rating supports reliable operation under typical start-up surges, contributing to longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
