Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications apply?
This unit meets ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, IECEx, UL 1203, and CSA standards for explosive atmospheres. Certificates of conformity, test reports, and declarations are available on request from Veilux.
What temperature range is supported?
Operating range varies by model, typically -40C to +75C ambient. Each unit carries a T-class rating defining maximum surface temperature. Consult the datasheet and compare with the auto-ignition temperature of substances present in your classified area before installation.
Is ONVIF compatibility included?
Yes. ONVIF Profile S and Profile G compliance ensures interoperability with Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon Control Center, and Hanwha Wisenet WAVE. Custom SDK integration is available for enterprise projects requiring analytics overlays or access control system tie-ins.
What wiring methods apply for Class I Division 1?
NEC Article 501 requires threaded rigid metal conduit with listed conduit seals within 450 mm of each enclosure. All seals must be filled with approved compound before energising. Flexible connections require listed flexible fittings rated for the division and applicable gas group of the installation area.
What power options are available?
Units are available in 24V AC, 24V DC, 110-240V AC, and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, 30W) variants by model. PoE+ simplifies installation by delivering both power and data over a single CAT6 cable run through the conduit system.
How is maintenance performed in hazardous areas?
IEC 60079-17 defines visual, close, and detailed inspection grades at site-scheduled intervals. Technicians should verify enclosure threads, flameproof gap dimensions, gasket condition, conduit seal integrity, cable entry tightness, and external grounding continuity. All maintenance must be performed by a CompEx-certified technician to retain certification status.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. IP66/IP67 ingress protection ensures suitability for rain, high-pressure washdown, and dusty environments. UV-stabilised materials prevent degradation in direct sunlight. Stainless steel hardware resists salt-spray corrosion for marine and coastal platform deployments.
What are the warranty and delivery terms?
Standard stocked configurations ship within 3-5 business days from our Grand Prairie, Texas facility. Custom configurations and large orders may require 2-4 weeks. All products carry a two-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended service contracts and volume pricing are available from the Veilux sales team.
