Intrinsically safe digital camera
Building on the success of the original iCAM501, the new iCAM502 from Extronics includes a new auto-focus lens that allows sharp images to be taken from as close as 5cm. Other key features of the camera include advanced image sharpness analysis; powerful LED flash array; vari- able flash brightness control; image quality feedback system; time and date stamp on image; ATEX & IECEx Zone 0 & Mining Approval; and a removable silicone rubber casing.

Infrared Zone 1 inspection CorDEX Instruments has introduced its new TC7000
intrinsically safe radiometric thermal imaging camera that can conduct infrared inspection in Zone 1 explosive environments.
There is no need for hot work permits, inspection across the site can be continuous, and thanks to the inclusion of RFID technology, all findings can be tagged to a location and easily documented. The TC7000 is ATEX and IECEx certified for Zone 1 IIC T4, and very low voltage and current are implicit in its high safety rating.
The TC7000 includes a colour 3.2” backlit LCD
display, intuitive joystick navigation and an ATM style keypad for quick and easy access to shortcuts. The high resolution, 320 x 240 uncooled detector ensures the smallest thermal problems are visible within the wide temperature measurement range of -20°C to 600°C.
The TC7000 also has an articulating lens for improv- ing ergonomics and allowing the lens unit to be adjusted to reduce glare when the camera is used out- side. It also enables the lens to be protected in transit. The camera case is shock and drop tested to IEC EN60079-11 and a neck/wrist strap is supplied for safe, single handed operation.
The TC7000 also has a 13.5MHz RFID tag scan-
ner which allows all images with embedded mea- surements and voice annotations to be auto-linked to a location.
CorDEX CONNECT reporting and predictive maintenance software allows a complete picture of each location to be built-up, trends plotted and an intelligent predictive maintenance schedule to be established. The feature also makes the TC7000 fully compatible with the CorDEX Instruments’ IW Series of intelligent IR windows with RFID technol- ogy and dynamic image correction.
Prime markets for the TC7000 is the mining, marine and petrochemical industries, plus produc- tion or processing of grain, chemicals, sugar and similarly dusty foodstuffs. CorDEX Instruments

High power, high efficiency LED pendant
environments, has been launched by Cooper Crouse-Hinds. The new pendant light fitting incorporates a high power (10- 30W) white COB (chip on board) LED array, which provides longer life and higher efficiency. The LPL LED (60-150W power rating) is well suited for replacing 70-250W metal halide (MH) lamps. The LPL LED is Exd protected (IP66) with a copper-free aluminium housing and a heat and impact resistant glass bowl.
A new range of high power LED pendant light fittings that are suit- able for use in Zone 1 and 2 haz- ardous gas environments and Zone 21 and 22 hazardous dust
Permissible ambient tempera- ture for the standard 60W/85W/100W LPL LED (6000K cool white) is from -35°C to 50°C (T6 rating). For the 125W
ATEX certified load cells
A range of ATEX certified load cells have been added to The Deeter Group’s ATEX and IECEx approved liquid level sensors.
The new range of load cells are available in lever mount, cantilever, shear beam, folded shear beam and master mount form factors and can measure weights from 10kg for process weighing up to 50 tonnes for silo, tank and vessel weighing applications. Intended for use in hazardous environments the new Deeter load cells meet the requirements of ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. Many manufacturing processes, including biodiesel production, generate potentially explosive atmospheres and European Directive 137 makes it mandatory under European law to assess for an explosion risk and classify the area accordingly. The new load cells may be used in weigh platforms, tank and vessel weighing, bag filling machines and
14
and 150W versions, permissible ambient temperatures are from - 35°C to 40°C. A 3300K ‘warm white’ version is also available for special environments such as fog or smoke. Under appropriate ambient temperatures, the LPL LED provides more than 50,000 hours expected operating life. The LPL LED is suitable for a range of hazardous areas includ- ing heavy industrial, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, phar- maceuticals, shipyards, dock- yards, power generation, paper mills and wastewater treatment.

Turck Banner launch new
Namur sensors Turck Banner has introduced its Namur sensors with SIL2 certification and ATEX approval for use in Ex areas. The induc- tive proximity switches with a terminal chamber offer a vibration-proof connec- tion using removable screw or cage clamp terminals.
The wash-down version WDTC Namur sensors also offer maximum freedom and switching distances. The user can select between a straight or a 90° angled cable outlet by simply rotating the cover. The cable is fed into the terminal chamber cover via a standard M16 cable gland. LEDs in the terminal chamber indicate the switching state of the sensors to the user at the device, and the V4A steel sen- sor housing can withstand harsh media. With protection to IP68 and IP69K, as well as a temperature range from -40 to 100°C, the sensors are suitable for use in extremely harsh environments. The entire sensor is also FDA compliant.
