Inspection lamp is approved for ATEX Zones 1 and 2
SA Equipment is now offering a complete lighting range for potentially explosive Zone 1 and 2 ATEX applications, with the launch of its rugged, yet lightweight USL-06EX Spotlite inspection lamp.
ATEX Zone 0 worklight is virtually indestructible
The new Slam Zero 3X3 LED worklight from SA Equipment heralds a major advancement in ultra-powerful, compact and virtually indestructible lighting equipment for ATEX Zone 0 applications.
Made from ultra-tough antistatic thermoplastic and aluminium, with a toughened glass lens, the rugged, IP66-rated ML800ATEX has been fully tested and approved for use in ATEX classified zone 1 and zone 2 potentially explosive atmospheres.
It offers safe and effective lighting for a wide range of uses including fire and rescue, offshore, oil and gas and utility applications.
The ML800ATEX uses the latest SideFire technology from a 1W LED light source and specially designed internal reflector to provide a powerful, even beam.
The LED light is also extremely colour accurate, making it suitable for any colour-critical tasks such as wiring inspection.
Unlike traditional filament bulbs, the LED will give years of reliable service with no need for replacement throughout the handlamp's normal service life.
The go-anywhere ML800ATEX boasts a host of in-built safety features to ensure users are never left stranded in the dark.
Four LED indicators on the lamp provide invaluable battery charge status information over four 25 per cent stages, while a low-charge warning device and last-chance indicator blinks the light beam every fifteen seconds to warn users before the battery charge is exhausted.
The handlamp's advanced NiMH battery does not suffer from memory effect, even after frequent charging.
In addition SA's high-technology MLC charger uses a temperature sensor to automatically adjust the charging regime in response to cell temperature for optimal charging and cell life.
The ML800ATEX and MLC charger are suitable for use in emergency vehicles.
The MLC's compliance with the 95/54/EC directive regarding installation of electrical equipment into vehicles enables it to safely charge lighting equipment when a vehicle is in use, without interfering with surrounding electrical products (the 95/54/EC directive governs safe levels of electromagnetic interference between electrical equipment within vehicles).
