FAQs
Install with the 856 mm horizontal fixing centers and 500 mm vertical centers to align with mounting surfaces. The 316L stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in hazardous zones, and the enclosure supports 690 Vac/Vdc equipment. Plan glandless interior routing or add external gland kits as needed to maintain IP66 integrity while accommodating wiring layouts.
The enclosure is 800 x 800 x 300 mm with 690 Vac/Vdc capability. It uses horizontal lugs and features zero gland plates, facilitating clean internal wiring or external gland solutions. It meets IP66 and NEMA 4X requirements, and is certified for Hazardous/Classified Locations (Class I Zone 1, Division 2; Class II Division 2).
Yes. Its 316L stainless steel construction, IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certifications make it suitable for chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other harsh environments. The enclosure’s hazardous-location ratings support safe operation in Zone 1 and Division 2 areas, reducing risk during critical process control deployments.
The XLHS18080300 carries NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standardization and hazardous-location classifications, including Class I Zone 1 and Division 2, with a NEMA 4X rating and IP66 ingress protection. These certifications simplify regulatory approvals for global installations and help meet strict industry requirements for hazardous-area electrical equipment.
The 316L stainless steel construction resists corrosion over time, reducing maintenance intervals in chemical and marine environments. IP66/NEMA 4X protection minimizes ingress-related wear, while robust manufacturing tolerances support long service life. Combined with a straightforward mounting setup, this translates to lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime for critical panels.
