Weather-Sealed, Explosion-Proof Switches
MICRO SWITCH CX switches are built especially for outdoor use in hazardous atmospheres. These enclosures are
constructed to withstand the pressure of an internal explosion. Flame paths cool the exploded gases to a point less
than the lowest safe operating temperature of the surrounding gas.
MICRO SWITCH 80CX Series switches have rugged bronze housings that are designed to be resistant to salt
water and other corrosive environments. They comply with the NEMA 4X requirement for protection against corrosion,
in addition to NEMA enclosure standards met by other CX switches.
The products o-ring seals make the enclosure rain tight, but are outside of required flame paths so explosion proof
requirements are maintained. Unless special ordered, all basic switches operate on clockwise and counterclockwise
rotation. The actuating mechanism can be field adjusted for CW or CCW operation only. No tools are required.
What makes our switches better?
Building block design allows for digital switching outputs, or 4 mA
to 20 mA analog output, or digital switching outputs with a 4 mA
to 20 mA analog output
Weather sealed to NEMA and IP ratings
UL, CSA, ATEX, IEC Ex, INMETRO certified for hazardous
(explosive) environments
Designed with the end user in mind, these switches help to create
user-friendly interfaces with broad application possibilities to help
meet the challenges of many different environments
Available with gold contacts, low-temp seals, and
bronze corrosion-resistant housing
