    Control stations

    The FlexStation control station is approved for hazardous and non-hazardous area applications. The system of interchangeable components includes push-buttons, pilot lights, and selector switches, which can be assembled in any combination on 1, 2, and 3-operator covers. The system also features pre-marked and blank legend plates and dead-end and thru-feed back boxes. Factory-sealed contact blocks and device operators eliminate the need for external sealing.
