The Pelco IPSXME136 ExSite Explosion-Proof Positioning System comprises
an IOP (Integrated Optics Package), a receiver, pan/tilt, wiper and
enclosure in a single, easy-to-install system. The Integrated Optics
Package contains an autofocus camera and lens module with configurable
features.
This explosion-proof camera system is suitable for
installation in hazardous environments, such as offshore rigs, oil
pipelines and refineries, where a small spark can lead to an explosion.
The camera’s enclosure is vacuum sealed and filled with inert gases, so
even if a spark is generated within the camera’s enclosure, the inert
gases will prevent the spark from triggering an explosion in the
vicinity.
This system features a day/night camera with high
resolution, a removable infrared-cut filter, and a 36x zoom lens (36x
optical, 12x digital). The system’s electro-polished 316L stainless
steel construction makes it suitable for all kinds of environmental
conditions including marine applications.
The system has an
operating temperature range from -76 to 140°F (-60 to 60°C). Two hours
after being powered up, the entire unit can de-ice and be operational
from a temperature of -13°F (-25°C). A built-in heater, window
defroster/defogger, sun shroud, and blower are standard features of the
system. The unit also includes 3 auxiliary output relays that can be
configured for a variety of uses.
The 36x Day/Night
Explosion-Proof camera also includes a window wiper, which is completely
integrated into the enclosure and does not interfere with the viewing
range of the system. The wiper can be configured to delay between wipes
and to automatically shut off after a specified period.
The
system’s variable pan and tilt speeds range from 0.1 to 40°/sec in
manual pan, tilt, and preset modes. The tilt range allows for horizontal
viewing of -90 to +90°. There are 80 preset positions with a preset
accuracy of ±0.1°. The camera is also capable of 360° continuous pan
rotation. The system comes with a power source of 100 to 240VAC. The
power-up recovery mode of the camera allows the user to specify what
operation the system will resume whenever power is cycled.
The
system features built-in system memory in the power module to store
camera- and location-specific pan/tilt settings including labels,
presets, patterns, and zones. These settings are automatically
downloaded if a new pan and tilt body is installed.
