Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SVEX-231-Z rated for Class I Division 1?
Yes. The SVEX-231-Z is UL listed and ATEX/IECEx certified for Class I Division 1 and ATEX Zone 1 classified areas. It allows operators to view live CCTV feeds, SCADA, and process video directly within hazardous zones.
What video inputs does it support?
HDMI, VGA, and composite (BNC) video inputs, enabling connection to NVRs, DVRs, workstations, and direct camera outputs. Compatible with both IP and analog CCTV systems.
Why install a monitor inside a hazardous area?
Field operators in classified areas need real-time visual access to surveillance feeds, process cameras, and SCADA displays without leaving the hazardous zone. An explosion-proof monitor improves operational efficiency and emergency response time by eliminating trips to safe area control rooms.
Is touchscreen operation available?
Yes. Optional explosion-proof resistive or capacitive touchscreen overlay enables interaction with SCADA systems, VMS interfaces, and process control displays from within Class I Division 1 and ATEX Zone 1 classified areas.
