Armadex TCO-60 ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 Hazardous Area Inspection Camera

TCO-60: The Zone 2/22 Inspection Camera That Captures Detailed Asset Images in Hazardous Areas

The Armadex TCO-60 is an ATEX and IECEx certified inspection camera built for industrial inspections, maintenance, and asset documentation in Zone 2 and Zone 22 environments. It pairs a professional triple camera system with a large 6.36" pOLED touchscreen inside a protective Ex enclosure, giving inspectors high quality imaging in a practical handheld form.

Engineered for Hazardous Locations

The TCO-60 is certified using the Ex nR (restricted breathing) and Ex tc (protection by enclosure) methods. The device is housed in a protective enclosure with a milled frame and transparent front and back covers, allowing it to be used in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may occasionally be present.

From refineries and chemical plants to offshore platforms, the TCO-60 lets inspection teams document equipment right where the work happens.

Built for Detailed Inspections

At the core of the TCO-60 is a 50 MP main camera with a Sony LYTIA™ 700C sensor, supported by 13 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP telephoto, and 32 MP front cameras. With 3x optical zoom and up to 30x hybrid zoom, operators can capture fine detail on assets from a safe distance. Optical image stabilization on the main and telephoto cameras, phase detection autofocus, HDR, and macro support help keep every shot sharp, while 4K UHD video recording covers inspections that need more than a still image.

Furthermore, the TCO-60 keeps the workflow simple. Images are stored on 256 GB of local storage and transferred over USB-C once outside the hazardous area, with no cloud services, subscriptions, or proprietary software required.

FAQs: Understanding Hazardous Area Inspection Cameras

What do Zone 2 and Zone 22 mean?

Zone 2 is an area where an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur during normal operation, and if it does, it will only exist for a short time. Zone 22 is the equivalent classification for combustible dust. The TCO-60 is certified for use in both.

What are the benefits of a dedicated inspection camera vs a standard device?

In a head-to-head comparison, a certified inspection camera like the TCO-60 offers several key advantages:

• Certified for Hazardous Areas: ATEX and IECEx certification for Zone 2/22 means the camera can be brought into classified areas where uncertified devices are not permitted.
• Inspection-Grade Imaging: A 50 MP triple camera, 3x optical zoom, and optical image stabilization deliver the detail needed for asset documentation and reporting.
• Simple Offline Workflow: Local storage and USB-C transfer keep images secure and easy to manage without cloud accounts or extra software.

The TCO-60 is more than a rugged camera. It is a dedicated inspection tool that brings high quality imaging into hazardous industrial settings. Feel free to contact Exloc at 281-978-2040 if you need more information about the Armadex TCO-60 Inspection Camera.
