Emergency Stop Stations for Explosive Environments (Stainless Steel)
In electrical and safety engineering, hazardous locations are places where fire or explosion hazards may exist. Sources of such hazards include gases, vapours, dust and fibres which are combustible or flammable.
IDEM’s range of Emergency Stop Stations have been developed to operate in explosive environments. The internal contact block has been third party approved by IECEx to the latest ATEX standards.
Emergency stop switches are mounted on machines and sections of plant conveyors that cannot be protected by guards. In combination with any dual channel safety monitoring controllers, these devices can be used as emergency stops and monitored up to CAT4/PLe to ISO13849-1.
All of IDEM’s emergency stop switches come with a special safety trip lid mechanism, meaning that the safety contacts will open if the lid is removed from the body, adding an extra level of protection.
All IDEM’s emergency stop switches conform to European Standards EN ISO13850 and IEC60947-5-5. They feature a positive mechanical linkage between the switch contacts and the E Stop button. The switches are mechanically latched and can then only be returned to the operational condition by pressing the reset button, as required by EN ISO13850.
For the harsh environments like Food Processing, Pharmaceutical and Petro-Chemical Industries, the stainless steel 316 range offers protection up to IP69K for use in high pressure chemical cleaning or CIP/SIP applications. The IP69K enclosure protection (maintained by a double seal lid gasket) and can be high pressure hosed with detergent up to +60C and 100psi.
Product range features:
- Material: 316 stainless steel, ideal for exposure to chemical cleaning agents
- Ingress Protection: IP67 and IP69K
- Operating Temperature: -20C to 60C
Explosion Proof Emergency Stop Button Station (ESL-SS-EX)
The ESL-SS-Ex heavy duty Emergency Stop Switches are designed to provide robust Emergency Stop protection for exposed conveyors or machines. The IP69K enclosure protection is maintained by a double seal gasket and anti-rust, stainless steel internal screws.

Explosion Proof Emergency Stop Button Station (ESL-SSP-EX)
The ESL-SS(P)-Ex heavy duty Emergency Stop Switches are designed to provide robust Emergency Stop protection for exposed conveyors or machines. The IP69K enclosure protection is maintained by a double seal gasket and anti-rust, stainless steel internal screws. The button shroud is designed to protect against accidental activation or damage.
- Body Material: Rugged 316 Grade Stainless Steel
- Ingress Protection: IP69K
- Contacts: 2-Pole or 4-Pole Ex Rated Contact Blocks
- Zones: 1, 21, 2, 22
- Ex Marking: Exd IIC T6 (-20 ≤ Ta ≤ +60C) Gb / Ex tb IIIC T85C (-20 ≤ Ta ≤ +60C) Db
NOTE: Comes with 3m of pre-wired cable (longer available on request). Where the Risk Assessment identifies that inadvertent operation of the E-Stop button may occur during use or breakage and loss of the button function is foreseen, it may be preferable to specify the protection shroud version.
