Limit and Enclosed Switches
Weather-Sealed Explosion-Proof Switches
FEATURES
Sealing - applicable portions of NEMA 1,
3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 7, 9, and 13
Watertight and dusttight for outdoor use
4-20 mA analog output available
UL Listed, file #E14274
Analog UL file #E68247
CSA Certified, file #LR57324
Rugged cast aluminum housing
Pretravel, overtravel, and actuating
sequence can be field adjusted without
tools (all basics individually)
Rotary types convert in seconds to
clockwise, counterclockwise, or both-
way operation
CX switches are built especially for outdoor
use in hazardous atmospheres. These en-
closures 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 temper-
ature of the surrounding gas.
O-ring seals make the enclosure weather-
proof but are outside of required flame paths
so explosion proof requirements are main-
tained.
Analog output: either resistive or 4-20 mA is
available.
Operating temperature range is – 25° to
+85°C
(–13° to 185°F).
ORDER GUIDE
As factory assembled, all basic switches
operate on clockwise and counterclockwise
rotation. Actuating mechanism can be field
adjusted for CW or CCW operation only. No
tools are required.

ASSEMBLIES
These assemblies are factory adjusted to
the same operating characteristics as a new
CX switch. They include components sub-
ject to mechanical or electrical wear: basic
switches, cam wheels and followers, and
springs.
To order, change the first number in the
complete switch catalog listing to 9 for ro-
tary switches and 10 for plunger switches
with short housings.

CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
80CX switches have rugged bronze hous-
ings which are resistant to salt water and
other corrosive environments. They comply
with the NEMA 4X requirement for protec-
tion against corrosion, in addition to NEMA
enclosure standards met by other CX
switches. O-ring seals make the enclosure
weather-proof, but are outside of required
flame paths so explosion-proof require-
ments are maintained.

inch long flatted shaft which
conforms to standard NEMA motor shaft
specifications. It accepts commercially
