Explore Our Explosion-Proof Cameras: Certified for Maximum Safety in Hazardous Zones

The Explosion proof camera has ATEX Certifications, and is good for Zone 1, Zone 21, and Zone 2, as well as Division 1 and Division 2 areas.

Our ATEX Certifications are as follows:
ATEX II 2G Ex d IIC T6 Gb, II 2D Ex tb IIIC IP66 T80℃ Db

What that means

For II 2G Ex d IIC T6 Gb

II: The equipment is intended for use in places other than mines susceptible to firedamp (i.e., typical industrial and commercial environments).
2G: Suitable for Category 2 for gases, which means it’s intended for areas where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur during normal operation.
Ex d: The type of protection is “flameproof enclosure.” This means the equipment can withstand an internal explosion without causing an external explosion.
IIC: The gas group. Group IIC is suitable for environments containing acetylene and hydrogen, which are the gases with the highest risk of explosion.
T6: The temperature class of the equipment. T6 means the maximum surface temperature of the equipment does not exceed 85°C.
Gb: Indicates the level of protection provided by the equipment is suitable to prevent an explosion of surrounding atmospheric gas.

For II 2D Ex tb IIIC IP66 T80℃ Db

II: Intended for use in places other than mines susceptible to firedamp.
2D: Suitable for Category 2 for dust, which means it’s intended for areas where an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust is likely to occur during normal operation.
Ex tb: The type of protection is “protection by enclosure for dust.” This means the equipment is protected from the ingress of dust and does not allow dust to penetrate in a quantity that could cause ignition.
IIIC: Dust group. Group IIIC pertains to conductive dusts like aluminum or magnesium.
IP66: The level of ingress protection. IP66 means the equipment is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets.
T80℃: The maximum surface temperature the equipment can reach, which in this case, is 80°C.
Db: Indicates the level of protection provided by the equipment is suitable to prevent an explosion due to the presence of dust.

Chemical Manufacturing Plants:
These facilities often involve the handling and processing of volatile chemicals that can emit explosive gases. The camera’s certification ensures it can operate safely in areas where such gases might be present under normal operational conditions (Zone 1 for gases).

Pharmaceutical Production Facilities:
Similar to chemical plants, pharmaceutical production can involve solvents and other flammable materials that generate explosive gases, making the ATEX-certified camera a good fit for monitoring these processes.

Cannabis, Crop or Grain Processing and Storage Facilities:
Plant/grain dust is highly combustible and can form explosive atmospheres. The camera’s dust explosion protection (II 2D) makes it suitable for installation in areas where grain dust is present, such as silos and conveyor systems.

Oil Refineries:
In refineries, the processing of crude oil emits flammable gases. The camera’s flameproof enclosure (Ex d) and suitability for IIC gas groups (including hydrogen and acetylene) make it ideal for monitoring refining operations where these gases are handled.

Biofuel Production Plants:
These plants process materials like corn and sugarcane to produce ethanol, which emits flammable vapors. Using an ATEX-certified camera in such environments would help in ensuring safety while monitoring the production process.

Paint and Varnish Manufacturing Workshops:
The solvents used in paints and varnishes are highly volatile. The camera can be used in the production areas to monitor and ensure safety procedures are followed, especially in zones where vapors may accumulate.

Metal Powder Processing Facilities:
Processes like grinding or milling of metals such as aluminum or magnesium can create combustible dust. The camera’s protection for conductive dusts (IIIC) makes it suitable for such environments.
