• Unlike the delicate safe area infrared instruments previously available, Ex |CAM™ is designed to withstand the rigours of continuous life in corrosive, explosive environments. With a polymer coated aluminium body, armoured display and CLIRVU Ex™ high transmission optic Ex |CAM™ can withstand a 1kg steel ball impact or direct fall onto concrete from two metres or more with no effect on the protection concept!”

Ex |CAM™ is designed to be tough, its oversized manual focus ring and simple one button FASTStore™ rapid save function allow simple, two handed gloved operation, a requirement in harsh environments. • High strength casing design and materials enable Ex |CAM™ to be used as a “crawl-aid” during an emergency in heavy smoke or low light situations during restricted access search and rescue operations.



Marine
This camera is idea for marine applications, its rugged powder coated and anodised aluminium construction is impervious to corrosive elements. With standard temperature range of -20°C to + 250°C Ex |CAM™ can increase SOLAS inspection speed accuracy and safety. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers in particular can benefit from Ex |CAM™ Professional safety, transporting a highly explosive mixed is dangerous any potential for ignition must be reduced or eliminated. The Ex |CAM™ Professional’s ATEX Certification by DNV ensures maximum safety and confidence.



Offshore Exploration & Productiopn
Ex |CAM™ Professional is primarily designed for use in the petrochemical industry, with ATEX approval from a proven marine certified body, Det Norske Veritas (DNV). Using delicate safe area IR cameras within an explosive atmosphere is dangerous. Ex |CAM™ Professional is the only portable IR camera in the world to hold true Ex 2 IIG T3 ATEX Certification, unlike delicate safe are IR systems, incorporating Ex |CAM™ Professional means that neither your worker safety, inspection routines nor liability need to be in jeopardy.


Petrochemical
The European (ATEX) Directive 94/9/EC came into force 1st July 2003. The countries covered by the Directive are all the European Union (EU) countries plus the European Free Trade Area (EFTA) countries and include; United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy & Norway. If infrared inspection in an explosive atmosphere, either full or part time, is required it is the responsibility of the employer to comply with the above directive and select equipment suitably certified for the intended atmospheres. Ex |CAM™ Professional is certified by DNV for operation within Zone 1 explosive atmospheres without the need for permits or gas detection. Realtime 50Hz imaging allows inspection of rotating machinery, such as bearing for T-class inspection & compliance. No other portable IR camera can be used within a Zone 1 explosive atmosphere either full time or periodically in compliance with the legal ATEX Directive.

Training
Hawk IR International,
A Total Solution

The Ex|CAM AP-Series of ATEX certified portable infrared cameras are designed to provide maximum return on investment allowing infrared thermography of explosive atmospheres without the need for lengthy permits to work and supplementary safety equipment. Ex|CAM AP Professional is designed for the professional thermographer and explosive atmosphere inspector. Its onboard safety systems consist of; Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) power cells, Dupl-Ex pressure protection module along with armoured LCD display, machine grade aluminium body and a host of other safety features. In addition to the base camera, Hawk IR International provide the automated docking station which enables data transfer from the cameras on-board storage to a standard PC via a groundbreaking USB protective barrier. Any thermographer intending to operate Ex|CAM AP Professional series cameras must complete a 5 day training course at the Hawk IR Infrared Safety Centre (ISC), in the U.K. This course will not only instruct the thermographer how to obtain reliable images, but most importantly how to ensure that Ex|CAM AP Professional is maintained and operated correctly in order to maximize safety and return on investment.
