The principle use for increased safety enclosures is to house electrical equipment that will not generate an arc or spark during normal operation. They are designed to provide an alternative to flameproof enclosures, and are generally made from sheet steel, fiberglass or die cast aluminum. Increased safety is achieved through the enhancement of insulation values and creep-age and clearance distances above those required for normal service.
Key Design Features
▪ Enclosure must be constructed to withstand mechanical impact and provide a specified degree of ingress protection (IP Rating).
▪ Internal connections must not be subject to undo mechanical stress - Designed to specific methods.
▪ External Connections - Generously dimensioned - Contactors fastened securely.
▪ Clearance and Creepage - Must not be less than the values specified by rated voltage.

Adalet: ATEX CERTIFICATION
ADALET ENCLOSURES NOW CENELEC CERTIFIED TO THE ATEX DIRECTIVE
Cleveland, OH – Adalet now offers the broadest line of
CENELEC/ATEX certified enclosures for hazardous location.
The European Union’s ATEX Directive 94/9/EC went into effect on
a voluntary basis on March 1st 1996. The Directive becomes
mandatory on July 1st 2003 and all products sold or placed into
service in any EU Member State must be ATEX-certified at that
time. All ATEX-certified flameproof products are currently
designed to CENELEC EN50014 and EN50018 standards and require
ATEX inspection to verify conformity. Inspection records must be
maintained indefinitely.
Adalet’s XCEX series enclosures, XIH/XDH instrument housings,
XHPB pushbuttons, XHSS selector switches, and XJ series screw
cover enclosures are used in the installation of
electrical/electronic components for control, measurement or
monitoring applications in hazardous environments. XCEX control
enclosures can be modified for installation of a variety of
explosionproof operator devices, viewing windows, and
accessories, permitting the development of customized enclosure
systems. XIH/XDH and XJ series of instrument and meter housings
are designed to accept and house
Certifications include:
• UL Standard 1203
• CSA Standard C22.2 No. 30
• Class I, Groups C, D
• Class II, Groups E, F, G
• Class III
• CENELEC: EEx d IIB
• ATEX: 0539 II 2GD
• NEMA 4, NEMA 4X (stainless steel bolts required), 7CD, 9EFG
• IEC 60529: IP40 without O-ring; IP66 with O-ring (required for
“D” rating).
