EX65 Series Description
The EX65 Explosion Protected Camera is a high performance, smart surveillance
camera for explosive environments. Utilizing Dinion 2X imaging, the camera
offers unrivalled image quality in the worst lighting conditions. Electro
polished
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 fibre 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 colour 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
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.
EX65 Series System overview
Extreme Environment Ready
The EX65 Explosion Protected Camera includes a camera and lens installed and
pre-wired into an electro polished 316L stainless steel housing offering
excellent corrosion protection. For less corrosive environments, an anodized
aluminium configuration is also available. The EX65 holds the most common
explosion-protected certifications for guaranteed safe operation in explosive
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 fibre
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. 20-bit 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 colour 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 colour
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 fibre optic video out configuration is also
available via the integrated module; conveniently located in the junction box
for quick connection to a fibre 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 aluminium 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 mode through a telemetry
connection which is easily accessible in the junction box.
Various mounting options with the mount adapter The EXS-ADPT is a stainless
steel mount adapter that allows installers to mount an EXTEGRA/EX65 device onto
one of a variety of mounting brackets originally designed for the MIC Series of
cameras. Installers secure the mounting cradle of the device to the mount
adapter, and then secure the adapter to a MIC wall mount bracket (MIC-WMB). The
MIC-WMB can be mounted to any of the following MIC Series mounting brackets:
• | Spreader plate (MIC-SPR), for installation on a wall |
• | Corner mount bracket (MIC-CMB), for installation in a corner |
• | Pole mount bracket (MIC-PMB), for installation on the side of a CCTV pole |
