SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
Honeywell explosion-proof switches are designed specifically
for use in hazardous location applications. The BX enclosure is
sealed for protection against corrosion, water, dust and oil as
defined in IEC60529. The temperature rating for these products
depends upon the seal material used. Products using a fluoro-
silicone seal have a rating of -40 °C [-40 °F] to 70 °C [158 °F].
Products using a fluorocarbon seal have a rating of -12 °C [10 °F]
to 70 °C [158 °F]. These enclosures meet Ex d IIC T6, Ta -40 °C
to 70 °C and Ta -12 °C to 70 °C, respectively. As well as Ex d tD
A21 IP67 T85 °C. SIRA 00ATEX1037X and IEC Ex SIR 07.0102X.
Compliance with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements
has been assured by compliance with EN 60079-0:2006, EN
60079-1:2007, EN 61241-0:2004, EN 61241-0:2006, IEC 60079-
0:2004 4th Ed., IEC 60079-0:2007 6th Ed., IEC 61241-0:2004 1st
Ed., and IEC 61241-1:2004 1st Ed. The maximum contruction
gap (ic) is less than that required by Table 2 of EN/IEC60079-
1:2007, clause 5.2.2 as detailed below.

BX with conduit types 1/2-14NPT, 3/4-14NPT also meet the North
American Hazardous Locations Designation: NEMA 7 - Class I,
Groups B, C and D; NEMA 9 - Class II, Groups E, F and G and
comply with UL Standard: UL 894, CSA Standard: C22.2 No. 25-
1966, C22.2 No. 30-M1986.
The BX is ideal for outdoor use or in adverse environments where
a combination of explosion-proof plus sealing requirements are
needed. To comply with explosion proof requirements the BX
has flame paths within the housing, which cool exploding gases
below the ignition temperature before they reach explosive gases
surrounding the housing. Flame paths on the BX are (1) an ex-
tended plunger between the switch cavity and head and (2) the
cover-housing threads on the front of the switch.
