Intrinsically
qwer 1/4" to 1" NPT Safe
Features
• Intrinsically safe solenoid enclosures to provide corrosion resistance
in harsh environments.
• Designed solely for installation in intrinsically safe areas, with properly
%
approved and sized current and voltage-limiting safety barriers.
• Acceptable for use in hazardous locations, as classified by the National #
Electrical Code: Classes I, II, and III, Division 1,
including Groups A through G.
• Electronically enhanced solenoids have efficient cartridge operators and
nonpolarized coils.
)
• Triple redundant diodes prevent electrical pulse for flowing back into the
hazardous area.
• Mountable in any position.
