Description
Construction
ATEX / IECEx enclosures of HCS1S series control stations are made of stainless steel AISI 316L. Stainless steel enclosures provide HARDO control stations with the highest resistance to corrosive agents. HCS1S series of control stations has following features:
body and cover are made of stainless steel AISI 316L.
stainless steel anti-loosening screws on cover.
polyuretane or silicone cover gasket.
stainless steel internal fixing screws.
enclosures are available in three different executions: cover fixed to body by antiloosening screws; cover jointed to body by hinges and locking keys; cover jointed to body by hinges and by anti-loosening screws. All systems provide the right pressure on gasket to grant the IP66 protection to the enclosure. When the cover is connected to the body by hinges, it may be possible to provide extra cable entries on each side wall by adding gland plates.
stainless steel internal mounting plates are available.
Function
Control Station HCS1S enclosures are often used for the following primary applications:
command and control stations
emergency call systems
instrument enclosures
breaker panels
toggle switches and changeover switches
lighting adjustments
terminal units
electrical enclosure
Battery holder
Control Station enclosures are available in a variety of sizes enabling you to choose an enclosure that is the best fit for your application. Control Station enclosures can be mounted together using specific flanges to form a big panel while retaining the IP protection of each individual enclosure. Starting at 90 mm in height, the enclosures can be outfitted with cover operators (pilot lights, push buttons, switches, etc.).

Components
HCS1S series control stations can be fitted with a wide variety of certified components from leading global manufacturers. Among these components are pushbuttons, pilot and signal lamps, emergency mushroom head pushbuttons, circuit breakers, relays, isolator switches and measuring devices.
Push Buttons
Spring-return pushbutton units and spring-return double pushbuttons can be combined with various types of contact modules in order to provide many different combinations of NO and NC contacts. These units are available in different colours and, as an option, may be fitted with various marking labels.

ATEX control station made of stainless steel – advantages
Highly hygienic and easy to clean
Stainless steel control stations are also highly hygienic and easy to clean, making them suitable for use in the food and beverage industry. Stainless steel surfaces are smooth and non-porous which makes them resistant to bacteria and other pathogens. In addition, they can be easily cleaned and sanitized, which is crucial in industries where hygiene is critical.
High strength and robustness
Stainless steel control stations offer several advantages over other types of control stations, particularly in hazardous areas. One key advantage is their high strength and robustness. Stainless steel is a very strong material which means that control stations made from this material can withstand harsh environmental conditions and physical impacts better than other materials.
Long-lasting
Stainless steel control stations are highly durable and long-lasting. They can withstand impacts, vibrations and other types of mechanical stress which can help ensure reliable operation in harsh environments. In addition, stainless steel control stations are resistant to fire and explosions which is crucial in hazardous environments where these risks are present.
Summary
Overall, stainless steel control stations offer a durable, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, hygienic and visually appealing solution for controlling equipment in hazardous areas. Their high strength, temperature resistance and easy-to-clean surfaces make them ideal for a wide range of applications in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, marine, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and more.
