The EX65 Explosion Protected Camera is a high-performance, smart surveillance camera for explosive environments. Utilizing Dinion 2X imaging, the camera offers unrivaled image quality in the worst lighting conditions. Electropolished 316L stainless steel construction ensures the ultimate environmental protection
available today.
A single pre-assembled unit with an integrated junction box, the EX65 is designed to be easy to install.
Through any of the four 3/4‑in. conduit entries (M20
adapter also included), connections are made to the
convenient terminal block; there is also space for any
additional wiring. Also accessible through the junction
box is the optional fiber optic module that provides
versatility for longer cable runs or where electromagnetic interference is a concern.
When choosing an imaging device for critical applications, you need the confidence that you will receive
the best in performance. Dinion 2X delivers! The 20-bit
image processing enhances sensitivity; the 2X Dynamic
extends the dynamic range. This unique combination
provides a sharper, more detailed image with outstanding accuracy in color reproduction even under
harsh lighting conditions.
Camera Features:
• 20-bit processing technology
• CCD sensor with Wide Dynamic Range
• Dynamic engine with Smart BLC
• Detail enhancement
• True day/night performance with switchable filter

u Sunshield included
The EX65 holds all major international explosion-protected certifications for safe use in almost any region
of the world. In addition, the EX65 meets NEMA 4X
and IP67 ratings. The EX65 has undergone vibration
and shock testing to IEC standards, as well as Highly
Accelerated Life Testing (H.A.L.T.), which pushes the
limits of products to ensure reliability throughout the
product’s lifetime.
For performance in complete darkness, there is an infrared illuminator available with 3D diffuser technology
to guarantee a crisp, clear, evenly-illuminated image
even in pitch black darkness. Infrared illumination also
eliminates the need for any conventional high voltage
lighting to be installed, which cuts costs significantly.
For more information, please refer to the EX65 Explosion Protected Illuminator datasheet.
The EX65 gives you the confidence to ensure a safe
workplace while getting the picture in the world’s
most volatile locations.
System Overview
Extreme Environment Ready
The EX65 Explosion Protected Camera includes a camera and lens installed and pre-wired into an electropolished 316L stainless steel housing offering excellent
corrosion protection. For less corrosive environments,
an anodized aluminum configuration is also available.
The EX65 holds the most common explosion-protected
certifications for guaranteed safe operation in explo-

sive environments and also NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings
for wet locations. For operation in areas prone to vibration, the EX65 has been tested to IEC standards for
vibration and shock.
Integrated Junction Box
The integrated junction box allows for easy connections to the terminal block for power and alarm outputs. Video is available via a BNC connector or ST fiber
connector eliminating the need for a costly external
junction box. The alarm-out can be used for switching
on external illuminators and can trigger events if motion is detected. In addition, there is sufficient room
for the UTP module or extra wiring if multiple cameras
or illuminators are daisy chained together.
Ease of Installation
The EX65 features one-piece installation and an integrated junction box for easy mounting and wiring. The
EX65 is versatile enough to mount in multiple applications and features remote camera configuration via a
standard video cable (Bilinx).
Detail in Extreme Lighting
Cameras in industrial applications must overcome the
challenge of providing a detailed image when lighting
varies across the scene, such as the dark corners and
the bright open areas on the deck of an offshore oil
rig. To produce a clear picture in these conditions and
to reveal details previously unseen, the EX65 combines
20-bit image processing with wide dynamic range. 20bit image processing simultaneously captures the detail in both bright highlights and in deep shadows. The
wide dynamic range, then, ensures that the camera delivers excellent contrast in the bright areas and details
in the dark areas.
2X-Dynamic and SmartBLC
Using 2X-Dynamic technology, pixel-by-pixel analysis
provides the user with the most detailed information.
Turn on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the
image without the need for complicated set-up or
without compromising dynamic range.
Detail Enhancement
Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the details in a scene, pixel by pixel.
Day/Night Mode
The day/night mode provides enhanced night viewing
by increasing the IR sensitivity. The IR filter switches
from color to monochrome automatically by sensing
the illumination level. The filter can also be switched
manually via the Bilinx coaxial control interface. An internal through-the-lens IR detector enhances the monochrome mode stability, as it prevents reverting to the
color mode when IR illumination is dominant. IR contrast is also measured and used to handle reflected IR
light in outdoor scenes.
Bilinx Technology
Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability embedded in the video signal of the EX65. Technicians
can check status, change camera settings, and update
firmware from virtually anywhere along the video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time, provides for more accurate set-up and adjustment, and
improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses
the standard video cable to transmit alarm and status
messages, providing superior performance without additional installation steps.
Video Motion Detection
The built-in video motion detector allows you to select
a programmable area with individual thresholds. The
global scene change detector minimizes false alarms
caused by sudden lighting condition changes, such as
switching on or off the indoor or security lighting.
When motion is detected, alarms can be displayed in
the video signal, the output relay can be closed or an
alarm message can be transmitted via Bilinx.
SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on
the CCD, the effective sensitivity in low light is dramatically enhanced. This is especially useful when relying
only on moonlight for illumination.
Transmission Versatility
Enjoy the convenience of having video transmission
options. A standard video-out via a BNC connector is
accessible in the junction box with enough room for
the optional UTP module. A multimode fiber optic video out configuration is also available via the integrated
module; conveniently located in the junction box for
quick connection to a fiber network via an ST connector.
Wide Temperature Range
Designed with the harshest conditions in mind, the
EX65 welcomes deployment in the toughest areas on
the planet including the subzero conditions found in
the far north or the scorching heat found in hostile deserts. The impressive –50°C to +60°C (–58°F to
+140°F) temperature range is standard on all aluminum models.
Global Explosion Protection Certification
The EX65 holds all major international explosion protected certifications for global installation. As a UL listed product the EX65 is certified for the division and
zone system per the NEC standards. For Europe it
holds the ATEX certification. The EX65 has been tested
against and conforms to the international IECEx
scheme. For Brazil the EX65 holds the INMETRO certification.
Infrared Illumination
For a complete 24-hour imaging solution, the EX65
Camera can be paired with an EX65 Illuminator to provide a crisp clear picture in complete darkness. The Illuminator turns on when the camera switches to night
