ATEX Compliant Zone 2 LED Bulkhead Design For Heavy Industrial Applications
Published 24 Sep 2019
Zone 2 LED Bulkhead
Heavy Industrial Applications
The Abtech Zone 2 LED Bulkhead exit sign is compact and lightweight and therefore ideal for heavy industrial applications including building, walkway and stairwell escape route signage.
Providing 100% light output instantaneously in emergency mode thanks to the integral battery back up the aluminium bulkhead can also run in maintained or non-maintained mode with functions such as fault indication and automatic battery monitoring.
Designed specifically for use in heavy industrial and marine environments to clearly identify escape routes.
Available with self-adhesive running man decals, the nD8611 is compliant with ISO 7010 and ASR A1.3 (Viewing distance = 22m).
A EN 60598 2-22 compliant version of the nD8611 is also available for use with central battery systems.
T&D are main distributors for Abtech – they design and manufacture range of zone 2 hazardous area lighting products. The Ex-rated lighting range includes hazardous area floodlights and LED luminaires suitable for both Zone 2 and 22 hazardous locations.
