Explosion-Proof Analog Cameras 

The EXPCMR-SWP.FW-ALG-1080P-IC-1227-12.7-100C explosion proof 1080p analog camera provides operators with a live feed of underwater environments in freshwater hazardous locations. This unit can operate remotely from a centralized control room and features an infrared LED array for lowlight and nighttime visibility.

The camera automatically switches over to IR mode when lux levels drop below present level and a true Day/Night infrared cut-off filter removal creates a sharp image transmitting with zero latency to HD resolution through a metal clad coax cable to customer-provided DVR systems.

Larson Electronics’ explosion proof camera features a pressure-resistant 316 stainless-steel body and features 1 lux sensitivity and a 2-wire transmitter with a stainless-steel mounting bracket. This unit also features a built-in color CCD camera and a 1/3” CCD sensor. The lens features a 28-degree to 60-degree viewing angle with a minimum lens-to-object distance of 3.15” and is rated for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups B, C and D; Class I, Zones 1 and 2, Groups IIB+H2 and IIA, Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F and G; and Class II, Divisions 1 and 2.

This unit comes with 100 feet of 12/5 SOOW pre-wired cord and Kellum cord grip to provide power and video signal to the camera. This unit can be mounted to flat surfaces via the provided flat surface brackets. This unit is suitable for use in underwater operations in fresh water, underwater monitoring, remote observation of external facilities, and more.
