LSX Series
DatasheetMICRO SWITCH LSX Series
Hazardous Area Limit Switches
MICRO SWITCH LSX hazardous area switches are designed for use in adverse environments. They are approved for use in
hazardous locations and NEMA classified atmospheres because their rugged housings have integral flame paths. These flame
paths force internal expanding gases to cool below external atmosphere ignition temperatures before they leave the housing. The
LSX also features tracking interchangeability with MICRO SWITCH BX Series Hazardous Area switches. An optional mounting
plate provides the same tracking and mounting as the standard HDLS Series (heavy-duty limit switch).
The majority of HDLS operating heads and circuitry options are available for the LSX Series. The rotary actuated LSX series
products are designed for use with levers that have non-sparking actuators due to the potentially hazardous environment. The
other styles of LSX Series switches which are the plunger actuated and wobble actuated products incorporate an integral non-
sparking actuator.
