GENERAL DESCRIPTION
......................................................................................................................................................

This designation refers to a series of SCAME products made of special polymer alloys, the result of lengthy research and testing both in the laboratory and in the field.

The HD SCAME products are:

• HD ADVANCE System
  weatherproof boxes and bases for combination units.
  
• HD ADVANCE Series
  weatherproof interlocked-switch socket outlets with fuse carrier or DIN rail 16, 32 or 63A.
  
• EUREKA Series
  Industrial plugs

The materials used have outstanding resistance to ambient conditions such as humidity, stream, saline or acid fumes. The performance of the products is therefore unaffected and remains unchanged over time.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION
......................................................................................................................................................

The products of the HD ADVANCE System can be used safely and reliably in the following fields:

• Heavy mechanical industry (rolling mills, furnaces, mines or steelworks)
• Chemical and petrochemical industry (oil refineries, waste disposal plants, off-shore platforms)
• Food industry
• Ports and docks
• Agricultural and animal breeding applications
• Airport equipment

The ambient conditions for the use of these applications are:

• Ambient temperature: -40°C +100°C
• Relative humidity: up to 100%
• Ambient salinity: 5% NaCl 90% U.R.
• Impact resistance:
  +20°C > 40 J
  - 40°C > 20 J
