SVEX-T100A Explosion-Proof Camera Housing for Hazardous Gas and Dust Zones
The SVEX-T100A Explosion-Proof Camera Housing is purpose-built to safeguard surveillance equipment in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present. Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel and certified with ATEX, IECEx, and CE approvals, this housing enables reliable and compliant video surveillance in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 20, and Zone 21 areas.
Engineered for industrial-grade resilience, the SVEX-T100A supports both box and zoom cameras, offering environmental protection, integrated communication protocols, and optional optical fiber output for high-quality signal transmission over long distances.
Certified Safety for Explosive Environments
With its explosion-proof classification of II 2G Ex db IIC T6 Gb and II 2D Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db, the SVEX-T100A complies with the latest ATEX and IECEx standards, certifying it for operation in atmospheres containing IIC gas groups (hydrogen, acetylene, etc.) and combustible dusts (Zone 20, 21).
Its IP68 ingress protection rating ensures full sealing against dust ingress and water immersion at depths of up to 1.2 meters for 45 minutes, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous installations exposed to high humidity, rain, or industrial washdown.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction
The housing is built from corrosion-resistant 304 or 316L stainless steel, with options to suit harsh marine, chemical, or petrochemical environments. All seams are precision-welded and sealed, with high-tolerance M27×1.25, G3/4, or NPT3/4 cable thread holes for secure connections.
