The MIC Series 440 explosion-protected camera has been
designed to offer an extremely reliable, robust, and high
quality surveillance solution for potentially volatile security
applications that demand the very best performance.
Precision engineered to exacting standards, the range
meets the requirements of ATEX Directive 94/9/EC Exd IIC
T6 and CSA Class I, Division 1, Groups CD, Class II, Division
1, Groups EFG, T6 for safe use in explosive atmospheres
such as those found in oil, gas, chemical processing sites,
and petrochemical refineries.
Rated to an industry leading IP68, the specially designed
camera housing is machined from solid aluminum. The MIC
Series 440 camera ensures corrosion protection by using
two different processes; first an Alochrom 1200 coating,
then a robust polyester powder paint coating. Alocrom
1200 is a chromate conversion coating of aluminum, used
in the aerospace and defense industries where a protective
layer is required to improve corrosion resistance. Sealed
with 'O'-rings, the MIC Series 440 camera can operate
permanently submerged up to 1 meter (3.3 feet)
underwater by virtue of its design and construction,
suitable for installation in the harshest of environments.
The optically-perfect flat viewing window and integrated
wiper ensure razor sharp images are captured in even the
most demanding conditions. This allows the MIC Series 440
explosion-protected range to function perfectly in highly
hazardous areas, such as offshore oil rigs.
The use of high-specification motors ensures reliable
operation, while ground-breaking resolver technology
provides pin-point accuracy and affords the user full 360°
continuous rotation pan, and an unprecedented 320° tilt,
control.
A choice of true day/night camera modules, offering up to
36x optical zoom (12x digital), coupled with flexible upright
or inverted mounting capability, allows the perfect field of
view to be achieved every time.
