Sensing and Control Honeywell Inc. 11 West Spring Street Freeport, IL 61032 www.honeywell.com/sensing Limit and Enclosed Switches Explosion-Proof Switches MICRO SWITCH explosion-proof switches contain and cool the escaping hot gases that otherwise could cause an explosion outside the switch. Most of them are UL-CSA listed. Appropriate file reference numbers and copies of the card file are available from your local Branch Office or MICRO SWITCH, Freeport, Illinois. Switches described on the following pages, except as noted below, are UL listed as follows: NEMA TYPE 7, CLASS I FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS NEMA TYPE 9, CLASS II COMBUSTIBLE DUSTS Type 7 enclosures are for use indoors in locations classified as Class I, Groups B, C, or D by the National Electrical Code. Type 9 enclosures are for use in indoor locations classified as Class II, Groups E, F or G, as defined in the National Electrical Code. Group B -- (only switches so noted in the order guides include this listing). Atmospheres containing hydrogen or manufactured gas. Group C -- atmospheres containing diethyl ether, ethylene, or cyclopropane. Group D -- Atmospheres containing gasoline, hexane, butane, naptha, propane, acetone, toluene, or isoprene. Group E -- Atmospheres containing metal dust. Group F -- Atmospheres containing carbon black, coal dust or coke dust. Group G -- Atmospheres containing flour, starch, or grain dust. DIVISION 1 Locations in which hazardous agents are present under normal operating conditions. DIVISION 2 Locations in which hazardous agents may be present only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown. All MICRO SWITCH listings covered in Division 1 are also covered in the same groups in Division 2. A112 Honeywell 1 Sensing and Control 1 1-800-537-6945 USA 1 F1-815-235-6847 International 1 1-800-737-3360 Canada Limit and Enclosed Switches Weather-Sealed Explosion-Proof Switches An optional mounting plate provides the same tracking and mounting as the standard HDLS. The majority of HDLS operating heads and circuitry options are available on the LSX. Standard HDLS levers are used, but because of explosion-proof requirements, only nylon rollers or other non-sparking material can be selected. Plunger and cat whisker types listed in the LSX order guide are of non-sparking material. SEALS Application proven HDLS head seals are retained to seal the top of the LSX. The circular cover on the front is easily unscrewed to expose the switching elements for wiring or replacement. A screwdriver or bar used on the wrenching lugs extending from the front of the cover allows easy removal or tightening. An O-ring seal is located between the housing and cover. FEATURES 1 Sealing - applicable portions of NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 13. 1 Tracking interchangeability with MICRO SWITCH ML-E1 and HDLS. 1 Variety of heads and non-sparking actuators. 1 Field adjustability matches switch to application. 1 Momentary, maintained, random sequence, or center neutral action. 1 10 amps continuous carry electrical rating. 1 Choice of silver or gold contacts. 1 12 or 34 inch conduit opening. 1 UL Listed, file #E61730 1 CSA Certified, file #LR57327 1 Internal grounding screw. NEMA standards: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 13. UL listed and CSA certified: Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C and D. Class II, Div. 1, Groups E, F and G. The LSX withstands pressure of an internal explosion and cools the exploding gases below the kindling temperature of the explosive atmosphere. Flame paths are provided by the cover-housing threads and an extended plunger between the switch cavity and head. Honeywell 1 Sensing and Control 1 1-800-537-6945 USA 1 F1-815-235-6847 International 1 1-800-737-3360 Canada A113 Limit/Enclosed LSX switches are for use either indoors or outdoors in hazardous atmospheres as they are a completely sealed explosion-proof device. Mounting hole location and tracking is same as the long established MICRO SWITCH ML-E1 explosion-proof switch. LSX Series Limit and Enclosed Switches Weather-Sealed Explosion-Proof Switches LSX Series HOW TO ORDER The order guide shows the option codes which are added to the LSX prefix to specify the operating head, body and circuitry, assembly modifications (if desired) and actuator type. The example given below is LSXA3K-1A. This is an explosion-proof LSX switch with the standard side rotary momentary-action head (A), single-pole circuitry and 12 in. conduit opening (3K). Since no modification codes are listed, it is adjusted for both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) operation, with the actuator shaft facing the front (label side) of the switch. The actuator (-1A) is in a 1.5 in. lever with a .75 in. nylon roller on the open side. There are list price adders for double-pole circuitry and the actuators. (Levers may also be ordered separately by specifying the LSX listings shown in the actuator code description.) ORDER GUIDE LSX standard weather-sealed explosion-proof switch.
