SVEX-CD-A Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Housing for Hazardous Environments
The SVEX-EX-CD-A Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Housing is purpose-built for critical surveillance operations in explosive or flammable environments. Featuring full 360° pan and -90° vertical tilt functionality, this robust enclosure protects PTZ camera systems from harsh industrial elements while delivering flexible wide-area monitoring. Certified with Ex d IIC T6 Gb / Ext DA21, IP66/IP68 T80°C and constructed from rugged stainless steel, the SVEX-EX-CD-A ensures long-term durability and safe operation in high-risk gas and dust zones.
Certified Safety in Explosive Zones
Designed for Gas Zones 1 & 2 and Dust Zones 21 & 22, the SVEX-EX-CD-A meets international explosion protection standards with its Ex d IIC T6 Gb / Ext DA21 certificate marking. The housing is also rated IP66/IP68, offering complete dust protection and resistance to high-pressure water jets and submersion.
Built from 304 or 316L stainless steel, this dome housing stands up to aggressive chemicals, moisture, and corrosion in oil, gas, and offshore environments. An optional electro-polished finish or corrosion-resistant paint is available for facilities operating in extreme salt or acidic atmospheres. Its compact body, tested under atmospheric pressures between 80 kPa to 106 kPa, ensures structural integrity under variable environmental conditions.
Intelligent PTZ Coverage for Industrial Surveillance
The SVEX-EX-CD-A enables seamless pan-tilt-zoom operations for high-precision monitoring:
- 360° endless horizontal rotation
- Vertical tilt from -90° to 0°
- Variable speed: horizontal 0.1–300°/s, vertical 0.1–250°/s
With support for up to 300 preset positions, the enclosure allows fast repositioning to pre-configured views. It also supports auto cruise, auto pattern, auto scan, cruise scan, and resume functions, providing full patrol coverage without manual intervention. These features make the housing ideal for refineries, chemical plants, or offshore rigs that require round-the-clock observation of multiple angles.
The housing integrates easily with PTZ cameras using Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocols via RS-485 communication, with selectable baud rates from 2400 to 19200bps, allowing smooth command and control over both legacy and modern systems.
Electrical Design Built for Harsh Environments
The SVEX-EX-CD-A supports flexible input voltages of AC85V–AC265V, DC24V, or AC24V, accommodating global power configurations. Its efficient 25W to 35W power draw (depending on thermostat activation) ensures minimal energy consumption, even during low-temperature operation. Optional TVS6000V surge protection guards against transient voltage events such as lightning or power spikes, minimizing downtime in sensitive or remote installations.
Engineered for All-Weather Performance
Engineered to operate in extreme conditions, the SVEX-EX-CD-A maintains stable performance in:
- Ambient temperatures from -25°C to +60°C (-13°F to 140°F)
- Humidity levels ≤95% (non-condensing)
- Submersible, dust-tight protection (IP68)
This rugged enclosure delivers reliable PTZ operation across a wide variety of climates—from desert oil fields to humid coastal plants, ensuring continuous protection of your surveillance equipment.
Simple Installation and Integration
With a total size of 213 × 213 × 570 mm and a net weight of 15kg, the SVEX-EX-CD-A is designed for wall or pole mounting. A single integrated cable simplifies the installation process, while the M28 × 1.5 to G3/4 cable thread hole provides a secure conduit for power and data.
The housing supports analog video output, offering compatibility with both traditional analog setups and hybrid surveillance architectures. It is ideal for environments that rely on long-range coaxial transmission or analog-to-IP converters.
Ideal Applications
The SVEX-EX-CD-A Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Housing is engineered for hazardous-area surveillance applications including:
- Petrochemical and chemical processing plants
- Offshore platforms and refineries
- Natural gas production and pipeline facilities
- Mining and heavy industrial operations
- Explosive storage and manufacturing areas
- Dust-prone facilities such as grain silos or flour mills
Wherever safety, reliability, and wide-range visibility are essential, the SVEX-EX-CD-A delivers the ultimate protective housing for PTZ surveillance systems.
