VTHTP1: ToughStation Hazardous Panel Enclosure Kiosk
Looking for a non-hazardous area kiosk? Click here.

Industrial monitor and computer panel enclosure kiosk for operator interface applications in Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous areas.
The hazardous panel enclosure kiosk has a friendly operator interface design and several rugged inset keyboard options to best suit your application and environment.
The purge system enables safe operations within Div 1 and Div 2 environments by preventing the accumulation of flammable gases and ignitable dust inside the enclosure. Using a purge and pressurization system is standard practice for the explosion protection of energized HMI terminals within a hazardous area.


Standard in stainless steel (NEMA 4X) or black powder coated aluminum (NEMA 4X). Custom colored powder coating available.
