Feature Summary

• Constructed from Type 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Certified for ATEX and IECEx increased safety (Ex e) standards
• Features a hinged cover secured by quarter-turn latches
• Includes a single gland plate for cable entry

Applications

• Housing electrical components in hazardous locations requiring increased safety
• Industrial environments subject to corrosive conditions due to 316 stainless steel construction
• Applications compliant with ATEX Directive 2014/35/EU requirements
• Facilities adhering to IECEx certification standards for equipment protection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the application environment aligns with Ex e increased safety requirements rather than explosion-proof needs. Confirm that the specific hazardous area classification matches the enclosure's ATEX and IECEx certifications. Ensure the inclusion of the single gland plate meets cabling requirements. Check for any specific mounting or accessory needs not included in the base model configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when Type 316 stainless steel durability is required alongside ATEX and IECEx compliance. The 24x24x8 inch dimensions provide specific internal volume for component placement. Consider the hinged design for maintenance access. Note that this unit is not suitable for flame-proof applications; alternative solutions are necessary if explosion-proof ratings are mandated by the site regulations.
