Wolf Floodbanks

Wolf ATEX Zone 0 Flood Banks use portable handlamps to deliver a bright flood of light to hazardous work areas including those with potentially explosive atmospheres.

Wolf portable lighting with a flood bank can offer up to 2,100 lumens all in a self-contained and portable unit. The flood bank range is available in either 2, 4 or 6 handlamp bank configurations and the stands can be placed on level ground or mounted on a tripod (available separately) to elevate, direct and focus the light onto the desired working area.

What is Zone 0?

Zone 0 and Zone 20 classified hazardous areas are places in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of either a mixture of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist (Zone 0) or a cloud of combustible dust (Zone 20) is present in the air continuously or for long periods of time.

An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of dangerous substances with air, under atmospheric conditions, in the form of gases, vapours, mist or dust in which, after ignition has occurred, an explosion could take place.

Hazardous Area Zones: 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 & 22

The ATEX Zone 0 Flood Bank, manufactured by Wolf, makes use of the excellent performance and reliability of the Wolflite XT Rechargeable Zone 0 Handlamps to collectively deliver a flood of illumination, of up to 2,100 lumens, to a Zone 0 hazardous task area.

Wolf flood bank stands integrate the Wolflite XT Rechargeable Zone 0 Handlamps (Wolf XT-75) which are CE marked to the ATEX Directive and IECEx Certified, for safe use in Zone 0 potentially explosive gas atmospheres, where a T4 temperature class permits.

The XT-75 Zone 0 Handlamps’ bespoke optics coupled with the highest performance ‘fitted for life’ LED light sources deliver an outstanding light output, of over 350lms each, from the high intensity spot beam, switchable to a wide-angle flood. The battery duration at high output is 7.5 hours and 15 hours in powersave mode and is monitored with a state of battery charge indicator.

Made of stainless steel, each stand incorporates handlamp holders with ‘snap-in/snatch-out’ function for quick release but secure retention and allows the bank of handlamps to be manually tilted and locked in position.

The handles makes the banks easily transportable for maintenance tasks and individual handlamps are easily swapped, even with gloved hands, allowing for straightforward function selection and use.

Handlamps can be removed from the stand within the Zone 0 hazardous area to be used for close up inspection work or in awkward to reach places, plus the Flood Bank can act as an emergency backup light source, independent of lead powered lighting.

Hazardous Area Zones: 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 & 22

The Wolflite XT Rechargeable LED Handlamp range is available in a number of different models in order to optimise performance in specific applications.

Bespoke optics and the high performing ‘fitted for life’ LED light sources deliver outstanding light output from the high intensity spot beam; making them ideal for tasks requiring a higher light intensity. A wide-angle flood option is also available, for tasks requiring a less extensive light.

Additional coloured LED signals can also be added. All products in the XT range feature easy, single-handed changeover even with gloved hands to allow for straightforward function selection and use.

Battery duration varies by model, from 4 hours of high output light (XT-50) to 11 hours (XT-90); by selecting the ‘powersave’ option, the duration can be doubled. The state of battery charge is indicated with a bar of bright red LEDs, which go out as battery charge diminishes and the beam flashes off repeatedly when recharging is required.

The latest lithium-ion battery technology improves reliability and also eliminates the ‘memory’ affect and the ‘quick’ charger base fully recharges the Handlamp in a minimum of 2 hours, dependent on model, and is configured as a holder with ‘snap-in/snatch-out’ function, for quick release but secure retention. Emergency illumination function illuminates Handlamp if power to the charger fails.

Wolf handlamps have a compact, lightweight body which has proven impact resistance even at sub zero temperatures; enhanced by rubber armoured lens ring, and handle/sides give improved grip and shock protection. The lens is resistant to scratches and chemical attack; the enclosure is electrostatic non-hazardous and certified to IP67.
