An inspection station is capable of being used under harsh conditions. The inspection station includes switch elements to which the inspection station is responsive for generating a predetermined control signal in response to actuation of a switch element. A fluid tight sealing element isolates an interior of the inspection station from an outside of the inspection station, the sealing element including one or more flexible button areas at the locations of the switch elements to provide access from the outside of the inspection station to actuate the switch elements located in the interior of the sealing element.
