FAQs

For field installs, ensure mounting to a rigid, vibration-tolerant surface compatible with 12x12x8 external dimensions. Utilize the vertical lug design for straightforward wall or rack mounting, and plan wiring with 0 gland plates to minimize gasket complexity. Use appropriate seals and gaskets for the chosen ingress protection, and verify that internal clearances accommodate the planned controls and wiring without crowding.
The enclosure is certified for hazardous locations with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance, including Zone 1 and Class I, Division 2 (and Class II, Division 2) ratings. It carries NEMA 4X and IP66 ingress protection, ensuring robust weatherproofing and dust-tight performance in demanding environments such as chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities.
Yes. The 316L stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance, while IP66 and NEMA 4X protections guard against washdowns, moisture, and particulate ingress. Certifications for hazardous locations (IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC) and Zone 1/Division 2 suitability make it a reliable choice for offshore platforms and chemical processing facilities requiring compliant, durable enclosures.
The 0 gland plates reduce potential leak paths and gasket complexity, simplifying sealing strategies and maintenance checks. The vertical-lug mounting supports quick reconfiguration or expansion, lowering field labor time during upgrades. With 316L stainless steel and proven protection ratings, maintenance cycles are extended, lowering total cost of ownership and downtime.
By combining long-lasting 316L stainless construction with durable IP66/NEMA 4X protection and hazardous-location certifications, the Ex-CELL XLVS11212080 minimizes corrosion-related replacements and field failures. Faster installation, reduced maintenance, and easier audits translate to lower total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment for critical hazardous-area automation projects.
