FAQs
Installers should verify NEC/CEC compliance for the specific area and ensure the enclosure is sealed to IP66 standards. The unit’s 3/4" trade size supports standard conduit connections, and its dead-end, three-position, two-circuit configuration minimizes misoperation. Use appropriate gland fittings and sealants to maintain hazardous-location integrity.
N2S2123U operates as a three-position, two-circuit selector switch with a 600 VAC rating. It uses a high-impact polyester enclosure and a 3/4" trade size, designed for dry and washdown environments while maintaining reliable actuation and defined normal positions in hazardous locations.
Yes. The N2S2123U is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for hazardous locations, including Class I Zone 1/Zone 2, and Class II Division 2, providing safe operation in challenging plants while meeting regulatory requirements.
The device carries NEC/CEC standards, hazardous-location ratings, and NEMA protection up to 4X, along with IP66 ingress protection. These certifications support regulatory compliance and reliable performance in dust, moisture, and chemical exposure typical of process and automation environments.
The non-metallic, high-impact polyester body resists corrosion and withstands harsh environments, reducing replacement frequency. Its clear three-position operation and robust enclosure simplify troubleshooting and maintenance, while IP66 and NEMA ratings minimize field protection concerns, lowering downtime and maintenance costs in control panels.
