The Honeywell 16CX1C explosion-proof limit switch is crafted to function reliably in extreme conditions, making it highly suitable for applications that demand stringent safety measures. The housing is made from epoxy-coated aluminum, ensuring long-lasting durability in challenging environments. Featuring a side rotary actuator, this switch employs a momentary action mechanism, facilitating precise control.
The contact configuration of this unit is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) type, which is hermetically sealed to prevent environmental contaminants from affecting performance. With a current handling capability of 1 Amp for alternating current and 5 Amps for direct current, it operates at voltage levels of 125 VAC and 28 VDC.
Termination requirements are flexible, accommodating either a 3/4-14 NPT or an M25 x 1.5 mm conduit connection, which simplifies installation procedures. Thanks to its IP66 rating, the 16CX1C effectively resists dust and water, thus safeguarding its internal components.
Regarding temperature tolerances, this switch can function in conditions ranging from -40°C to 85°C. Its design meets the requirements for use in hazardous areas, classified as Class I Divisions 1 and 2 for Groups C and D, and Class II Divisions 1 and 2 for Groups E, F, and G, ensuring safety and compliance in potentially volatile environments.
