STRONGARM Designs, the leading manufacturer of operator interface mountings and systems for the pharmaceutical, chemical, and other manufacturing industries, presents the Wall Station, a compact, wall-mounted operator interface system that’s ideal for process areas and plant floors where space is at a premium. In order to maximize floor space, the Wall Station attaches directly to the wall using external tabs or through holes located in the rear of the enclosure, making installation easy and straightforward. The Wall Station is available in a variety of configurations, including an inset keyboard style that minimizes the protrusion into the room, and a wedge keyboard style that is more ergonomically suited for periods of extended use. The Wall Station can be configured with a sloped top to eliminate the pooling of liquids on top of the enclosure, and can be optimized for liquid (washdown) or dry powder (wipedown) process areas. Additional options include precision cut-outs for push buttons, integration of additional peripherals such as bar code scanners, and a comprehensive selection of cooling options for extreme environmental conditions. Wall Station features include: • Four display sizes (15.1”, 17.1”, 19.1”, 21.3”) that can be configured with optional Resistive, Infrared, or SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) touchscreen technologies • Multiple keyboard and pointer selections, including the exclusive Stainless Steel Mouse • PC options that include an internal micro PC or an internal KVM extender allowing the user to connect to a remote PC up to 3000 feet away • Available in NEMA 4X Stainless Steel for washdown and wipedown environments, and NEMA 4/12 Painted Aluminum/Steel for general industrial use • Configurable for Class 1 Division 1/2 and Class 2 Division 1/2 hazardous areas • Comes completely assembled and ready to deploy, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming installation procedures • Material NEMA 4X: 304 Stainless Steel 14 Gauge • NEMA 4/12: 12L14 carbon steel 14 gauge • Finish NEMA 4X: #4 Satin Polish • NEMA 4/12: Powder coated or painted finish, available in a variety of stock colors (custom colors also available upon request). • Construction Laser-cut and continuous TIG seam welded. • Reinforcement Folded and welded stiffener. • Cut-outs O.I. and pushbuttons as specified. • Agency Approval UL 508c labeled (available as option). • Front Door (1) full size standard. • Side Doors As required for access to cabling and drives • Gaskets Neoprene/EPDM/SBR Blend #SCE42B • Latches EMKA brand 1000 series 1/4 turn, slotted. • Hinges Concealed hinges
