ToughStation Hazardous Area Kiosks
VarTech’s fully sealed, purge-protected hazardous area kiosks are configured for safe HMI operation in Division 1 and Division 2 environments.
These hazardous area workstations are purge protected and can be configured to allow safe HMI operations in Division 1 or Division 2 hazardous areas. The purge system protects energized components inside the sealed workstation enclosure from the accumulation of flammable gases or dust, and explosive elements in the atmosphere. This is achieved by monitoring and regulating pressurized air or inert gas within the system. This process reduces the classification within the purge protected enclosure from Division 1 (or Division 2) to non-hazardous.
VarTech’s purge protected kiosks are available with Type X or Type Z purge systems which can be configured for safe operation in various hazardous area environments. These industrial display consoles and fully sealed computer workstations are built with front access door allowing for easy field servicing and maintenance. All 3 designs offer many standard options including powerful embedded computers, sunlight readable displays, and sealed keyboards.
