FAQs
When installing the 9406600 in ATEX zones, verify zone classification and follow local code requirements for explosion protection. Use the provided mounting plate (549x730 mm) for alignment, ensure proper grounding, and seal penetrations with the integrated silicone gasket to maintain IP66 integrity during wash-down and routine maintenance. Confirm compatibility with a compliant control panel layout.
Yes. The 9406600 is designed for hazardous-area control gear, featuring explosion protection certification (IEC Ex PTB 09.0035U, ATEX PTB 02 1082U), IP66 ingress protection, and NEMA 4X suitability. Its stainless steel construction and hinged door provide durability and access for routine maintenance, making it ideal for control panels in chemical, oil & gas, and processing environments.
The enclosure carries IEC Ex PTB 09.0035U and PTB 02 ATEX 1082U certifications, plus IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, and UL Type 1. These indicate compliance with explosion protection standards, water and dust ingress resistance, and suitability for listed electrical systems. This combination supports global deployment in hazardous areas and simplifies regulatory approvals.
The enclosure dimensions are 600 mm wide, 760 mm high, and 210 mm deep, with a mounting plate size of 549x730 mm.
