ToughStation Purge-Protected Computers are designed with certified purge systems for safe operation in C1D1, C2D1, and C2D2 environments.
Designed to be non-incendiary in C1D1, C2D1, and C2D2 environments, Type-X and Type-Z purge systems are available on our ToughStation Purge-Protected Computers.
C1D1 environments are host to ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, or vapors under normal operating conditions. Type-X purge systems, included in these ToughStation computers, are a requirement to safely operate such equipment in C1D1 areas.
C2D1 areas, where combustible dust is present, also need Type-X purges for electrical equipment.
C2D2 environments are where flammable gases, liquids, or vapors are not present under normal operating conditions but could be present under abnormal operating conditions. Type-Z purge systems, which our ToughStation computer offers, are a requirement to safely operate such equipment in C2D2 areas.
ToughStation purge-protected computers are fully sealed and built of durable stainless steel.
Built to meet NEMA 4X and IP66 protection standards, our units resist corrosion, dust and water ingress, and are ready for operation in washdown environments.
With up to 1800 nits of brightness, ToughStation purge-protected computers provide clear display viewability in bright outdoor or indoor environments.
ToughStation purge-protected computers are ideal for displaying detailed information to operators, such as dashboards monitoring machine processes.
ToughStation purge-protected computers are available with PCAP (projected capacitive) touchscreens which support multi-touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom or twist-to-rotate and are often used in applications where operators wear protective gloves.
Our in-house optical bonding process, taking place in our Class 10000 cleanroom, increases display durability, protecting our computers from damage from environmental vibrations and accidental impact.
In addition, the optical bonding process protects the LCD from overheating and reduces glare.
ToughStation purge-protected computers are well suited for operating complex processes in chemical plants.
With software connecting to your equipment, their large format displays, measuring 32” and 43”, respectively, enable workers to manage numerous facility functions simultaneously.
Oil, gas, and energy operations in which hazardous environments are commonplace rely on purge-protected ToughStation computers.
Often used in oil rigs or natural gas drilling facilities, our units’ combination of high-bright displays, extreme temperature resistance, and certified purge systems meet C1D1 & C2D2 area safety requirements.
