Important Notes

* Not for Use in Zone 0

This product is not certified for installation in Zone 0 hazardous areas per ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

** Not for Use in Class I Environments

This model is not designed for Class I hazardous environments. For mining applications, please refer to our certified model: KBA127F Mining Explosion-Proof Camera.

1. IP68 Waterproof Certification

Certified by an IEC-authorized laboratory. Standard: IEC 60529:1989 + A1:1999 + A2:2013.

2. Flameproof Infrared Lamp Testing

  1. Irradiation Distance: No national standard exists for this metric. Effective range is evaluated based on zebra board visibility under night vision conditions.
  2. Test Conditions: Ambient light < 0.001 lux (at 550 nm); visibility > 10 km.
  3. Test Equipment: Infrared-compatible B/W camera (0.1 lux), F1.5–2.0 lens, zebra board, power supply, and display device.
  4. Test Method: Illuminate a zebra board at 10 meters using the IR lamp. Gradually move it back until no longer visible. Multiply final distance by 0.6 to determine effective range.
