Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS11010061B
316L stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance, enabling longer service life in chemical, coastal, and washdown environments, which translates to lower replacement and maintenance costs. This supports improved uptime and safer operations in demanding facilities where exposure to aggressive media is common, such as oil & gas and chemical plants. The enclosure’s IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings protect sensitive electronics from dust, water jets, and harsh washdowns, guaranteeing consistent performance and reducing spurious failures in outdoor or harsh indoor settings. With a 10" x 10" x 6" body and a single gland plate, there is ample space for standard control panels and wiring, while simplifying cable management and future upgrades. Hinged cover with bolts enables quick, secure access for routine maintenance and inspections, minimizing downtime. Vertical lugs simplify mounting in tight spaces and streamline installation alongside existing Ex-certified components. Certifications for hazardous locations (Class I/II, Division 2, Zone 1) and IECEx/ATEX alignment ensure regulatory compliance across global sites, reducing risk during audits and facilitating smoother procurement. This enclosure also integrates well with Crouse-Hinds Ex solutions, offering a cohesive, Industry-standard solution for harsh environments.

FAQs
The XLVS11010061B Ex-CELL enclosure is designed to meet IECEx/ATEX standards in addition to NEC/CEC. It is suitable for use in Zone 1 and Division 2 hazardous locations, enabling safe housing for electrical and control components in explosive atmospheres. Its stainless steel construction and IP66/NEMA 4X ratings help ensure regulatory compliance across global sites while providing robust protection against dust, water, and chemical exposure. When planning, verify gland plate access and panel cutouts align with your device footprint to maintain certification integrity.
Plan for proper mounting using vertical lugs to optimize space in tight panels and ensure structural stability in outdoor or washdown areas. Use the single gland plate to route cables efficiently while maintaining ingress protection. Ensure the enclosure remains closed and sealed during operation, especially in environments with chemical vapors or heavy dust. Follow the ENK10673 Ex-Cell Operating Instructions for correct hinge and bolt torque to preserve IP66/NEMA 4X performance over time.
This Ex-CELL enclosure excels in hazardous locations such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and water treatment plants where corrosion resistance and enclosure integrity are critical. Its 316L stainless steel construction, 10" x 10" x 6" interior, and 1 gland plate support compact process control panels, drive controllers, relays, and instrumentation. Its rugged design also accommodates washdown regimes and external mounting for field devices, helping engineers consolidate control gear into a single compliant housing.
The enclosure carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, NEMA 4X rating, and IP66 ingress protection, paired with hazardous location classifications including Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 1 along with Class II, Division 2 where applicable. This combination supports regulatory compliance in diverse global markets, supports safe operation in aggressive environments, and simplifies procurement by providing a single, certifiable enclosure for multiple standards.
The 316L stainless steel body resists corrosion and reduces cleaning frequency, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. The hinged, bolted cover enables quick access for inspections or upgrades, shortening service windows. Its compatibility with Ex-certified components and standard gland plate layout streamlines installation, reducing setup time and enabling faster project delivery. Over the enclosure’s lifetime, these factors contribute to a lower total cost of ownership through extended service intervals and fewer spare parts.
