Description
The Series ‘X’ camera assemblies have been developed to meet the rigorous requirements of
Flame proof and dust-ignition-proof electrical equipment for installation and use in hazardous
locations found in the onshore and offshore, oil & gas and petrochemical installations. The
units may also be used in marine and industrial hazardous environments.
The housing enclosures and all external parts are manufactured entirely of AISI 316L stainless
steel for low maintenance and protection from corrosion.
Each of the end covers are fixed to the body by five (5), M6 x 12 stainless steel hex cap screws;
where applicable, the cable entry covers are fixed using five M5 x 12-mm stainless steel hex
cap screws, or the covers are welded in place. All fixings conform to the requirements of EN
ICE 60079-0:2018/IEC 60079-0:2017. The weatherproof seal at the union between the
enclosure and the covers is maintained using ‘O’ ring seals.
The camera housings feature an internal sliding camera mounting rail, which is fitted with
an internal heating element/de-mister, thermostatically controlled, to maintain operating
temperature, and ensure clarity of vision through the window, together with the optional
integral window wiper mechanism.
The viewing window is made with toughened glass, or in the case of the Thermal Imager and
Dual Imager versions, is made from Infrared transparent material, which is factory fitted with a
mechanical window guard.
The mechanical thermal window guard MUST not be removed.
There are three system types in the ‘Series X’ certified units; these are:
•
XP: Pan & Tilt units with integral base section for cable connections.
•
XT: Pan & Tilt units with integral base section for cable connection, and a
secondary linked housing for an integrated illuminator.
The XP and XT units each have 2x M25 cable entry points into the fixed base section,
with a large screw-fit flange that can be removed for wiring access.
The Series ‘X’ housings and pan/tilt units have been designed and certified to the ATEX
Directive 2014/34/EU and IECEX, with the ratings as detailed in:
‘Section 6.0
Specifications& Technical data’
Note
: T class and ambient temperature is dependent on the assembly configuration
and maximum internal power dissipation.
The project requirements and unit certification label must be checked by the installer before installation to
confirm that the product supplied is suitable for the intended installation zone and environment.
