Explosion Proof for Hazardous Industrial Areas
This explosion proof is ATEX and IECEx certified for Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous locations including oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, and offshore platforms. Designed to contain any internal ignition and prevent it from igniting surrounding flammable atmospheres.
SVEX-IR Explosion Proof Infrared Illuminator for Hazardous Zones
The SVEX-IR is a high-performance explosion proof infrared illuminator designed for use in hazardous zones where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may be present. Engineered with a robust stainless steel body and certified to the Exd II CT6 Gb / Ex tD A21 IP68 T80℃ standard, this illuminator enhances low-light and night-time surveillance with powerful infrared lighting up to 150 meters.
Durable and Explosion proof for Extreme Environments
Built with 304 or 316L stainless steel, the SVEX-IR offers outstanding corrosion resistance, making it ideal for offshore platforms, refineries, and chemical plants. Its rugged design is IP68-rated, ensuring full protection against dust, moisture, and temporary submersion—perfect for demanding indoor or outdoor industrial environments.
Withstanding temperatures from -40°C to +60°C and high humidity levels up to 95%, the SVEX-IR performs reliably in extreme weather and climate conditions.
Powerful Infrared Illumination
The SVEX-IR delivers up to 150 meters of infrared lighting distance, significantly improving visibility for security cameras operating in total darkness. The unit also supports light control, allowing operators to adjust intensity or timing according to surveillance needs. For flexibility, a white light version is also available upon request.
Flexible Power Options and Easy Integration
Designed for compatibility with a variety of power systems, the SVEX-IR supports AC100~240V, AC24V, DC24V, DC12V, and PoE+ (DC48V) inputs. With 25W power consumption (excluding heating or ventilation features), it provides high efficiency without compromising output.
The unit includes a single cable thread hole (M25x1.25 or M27x1.25) and can be wall-mounted using standard brackets, making installation straightforward even in tight or complex locations.
Ideal Applications
Oil & gas processing facilities
Chemical plants and hazardous storage areas
Marine terminals and coastal environments
Dust-prone manufacturing zones
Anywhere requiring ATEX-compliant infrared lighting
Whether supporting fixed or PTZ explosion proof cameras, the SVEX-IR ensures critical visual coverage in the darkest and most volatile locations.
Note: This is a special order item. It may take 6-8 weeks for delivery.

All equipment in this category meets the rigorous safety requirements for classified hazardous locations. Independent certification to ATEX, IECEx, and UL standards verifies that each unit has been tested for use in explosive atmospheres found in petrochemical facilities, offshore platforms, grain handling operations, and chemical processing plants. These certifications are renewed on a defined schedule to reflect any design changes and to maintain compliance with evolving international standards.
Proper product selection depends on your site classification, mounting requirements, and operating environment. Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 environments demand the highest level of enclosure protection, while Division 2 and Zone 2 locations may permit designs with a lower protection level. Working with a certified hazardous-area specialist before finalising your specification helps ensure the installation meets both local electrical codes and applicable international standards without over-specifying the hardware.
Professional installation is strongly recommended for all hazardous-area equipment. Installers experienced with NEC Article 500 and IEC 60079 can verify that cable entries, conduit seals, and grounding connections are completed correctly and documented for compliance records. Veilux supplies full technical documentation, certified installation drawings, wiring diagrams, and post-installation support for every product in our catalog at no additional charge.
Routine inspection and preventive maintenance extend service life and preserve explosion-proof certifications. Key inspection points include housing integrity, cable gland condition, lens or cover glass condition, and confirmation that all enclosure fasteners meet published torque specifications. Veilux can assist with scheduled maintenance programs tailored to your facility type, operating cycle, and regulatory requirements, helping reduce unplanned downtime and extend the useful life of each installed unit.
Custom configurations are available for non-standard mounting geometries, extreme temperature ranges, or unique area classifications. Veilux engineers work directly with facility managers, EHS officers, and project engineers to develop solutions that meet both performance targets and compliance obligations. Contact our technical team to discuss your specific project requirements and receive a detailed equipment proposal, including complete bill of materials and compliance documentation for your approval process.
