FAQs
For hazardous-location installations, verify enclosure placement away from direct chemical exposure and ensure a compliant mounting surface. Use the single gland plate to organize conduits and cables cleanly, and confirm that the enclosure is oriented with vertical lugs for accessible terminations. Follow NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX guidelines and local code requirements to maintain compliance while simplifying maintenance access.
The Ex-CELL enclosure is constructed from 316L stainless steel and designed with tight seals and gaskets to prevent ingress of dust and water. IP66 ensures protection against powerful water jets, while NEMA 4X adds corrosion resistance for outdoor or wash-down areas. This combination ensures reliable operation of internal electronics in challenging facilities like refineries and chemical plants.
Yes. The enclosure carries NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certification and is rated for Class I, Zone 1 and Class II, Division 2 locations. This makes it suitable for hazardous-area installations in oil & gas, chemical processing, and other regulated industries, enabling compliant integration with safety and auditing requirements.
The enclosure provides a 12" x 10" x 6" footprint with one gland plate, offering ample space for a compact control panel and associated wiring. The design supports straightforward cable entry and routing, aided by vertical lug mounting. This configuration reduces cabling complexity while maintaining secure, protected access for inspection and maintenance.
Expected benefits include longer service life due to 316L stainless steel corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance and seal-related failures thanks to robust IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and smoother regulatory compliance with IECEx/ATEX and hazardous-location ratings. These factors translate to lower total cost of ownership, fewer unplanned outages, and faster project commissioning in harsh environments.
