IDEM explosion proof safety interlock switches are designed to fit to the leading edge of sliding, hinged or lift off machine guards to provide safe
electrical switching within explosion risk environments like petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, food production and packaging. IDEM explosion proof
rope pull switches are designed to provide protection to conveyors used in hazardous areas like beverage production and chemical handling.
In addition to explosion proof switching and depending upon the risk assessment for the application, they can also be used in combination with any
dual channel safety monitoring relays to provide high functional safety up to Category 4 and PLe ISO13849-1 or SIL3 EN62061.
