Ex|CAM AP Professional IR camera is now ATEX I.S.

Based on a unique DUPL-Ex protection system, the "Intrinsically Safe" (IS) Ex|CAM AP Professional infrared thermal camera can be used within potentially explosive atmospheres

Hawk IR International, the global leader in infrared safety, has announced the latest in ground-breaking infrared safety technology - the Ex|CAM AP Professional Intrinsically Safe ATEX Certified infrared camera, which has been nominated as finalist for the Plant Engineering Product of the Year 2007.

Based on a first-of-its-kind, patent-pending technology, the Ex|CAM AP Professional can detect potential failures within explosive atmospheres using realtime, fully radiometric infrared thermography techniques.

Images are stored on-board for post inspection reporting, ideal for petrochemical facilities where the majority of equipment is located within the explosive atmosphere.

Ex|CAM AP-Professional is the only ATEX Certified fully radiometric infrared camera system available in the world today, making it the safest solution for explosive area "owners".

Ex|CAM AP Professional features include.

* "Intrinsically Safe" portable infrared thermal camera.

* Protected communications and power systems.

* Armoured LCD Display.

* Clirvu-Ex Lens.

* Docking Station.

* Ultra sensitive Longwave Focal Plane Array.

The Hawk IR revolutionary Ex|CAM AP Professional is necessarily designed tough and is now available with a portable docking station which allows the cost of ownership of this technology to be spread across multiple facilities.

Constructed from aluminium and using the revolutionary Clirvu-Ex optic material, the Ex|CAM AP Professional enables plant managers and process operators alike to thermally inspect equipment and plant areas within the explosive atmosphere and generate reports detailing the status of their plant.

Every explosive atmosphere has an inherent cost of ownership, infrared thermography can be used to reduce that cost and increase safety by reducing downtime and complying with legal requirements quickly and efficiently.

Until now, infrared camera systems have been rarely used within explosive atmospheres due to the inherent dangers associated with the safe area equipment previous available," said Tony Holliday, Director of Sales and Marketing for Hawk IR International.

"Hawk IR International is very proud to be nominated for this award, Ex|CAM AP Professional represents a significant step forward in safe infrared camera design.

Previous design concepts centred around delicate safe area instruments which are generally intended to be lightweight.

Unfortunately, this type of construction cannot withstand the technical requirements which are mandatory for explosive area equipment.

Ex|CAM is the ultimate infrared camera for facilities that wish to comply with Government regulations whilst increasing their infrared coverage into the explosive area.".
