Honeywell C15W2 Series Basic Switch for Hazardous Locations User Guide
DESCRIPTION
MICRO SWITCH V15W2 Series basic switches are precision snap-action contact mechanisms enclosed in plastic cases. Switch actuation triggers the mechanical closure of the switch’s contacts. The switches are approved for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. While a small amount of arcing occurs between the switch contacts during contact closure, the switch is environmentally sealed so that flammable gases cannot enter into the switching cavity. This minimizes the chances of ignition of flammable gases in a hazardous atmosphere.
The ATEX and IEC Ex approvals are: Ex nC IIA T5 Gc for an ambient temperature range of -25 °C to +85 °C per EN/IEC 60079-0 and EN/IEC 60079-15 via certificates DEKRA 19ATEX0013U and IEC Ex DEK
17.0053U.
DIFFERENTIATION
- ATEX and IEC Ex approvals
- Wide variety of actuators, connections, operating and electrical characteristics
- More durable performance within a range of conditions
- Operates under many difficult/harsh environmental conditions
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
- V-Basic switches for potential use in refrigeration units using alternatives for HFC and HCFCs, specifically targeting OEMs and Tier white goods manufacturers transitioning to lower GHA emission refrigerants (which tend to be more explosive) per EPA and other regulatory guidance
- Certified for use in ordinary locations via UL, cUL (North America), CQC (Asia-Pacific), and ENEC (Europe). Certified for use in hazardous locations via ATEX (Europe) and IEC Ex (International)
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
- Appliances (especially with new refrigerants)
- Valve actuators
- Commercial refrigeration
- Ice makers
- HVAC/R (furnace, refrigeration, ventilation)
FEATURES
