Fiberscope SoloPRO - Model ExZ1 -Explosion-Proof Pipe Inspection Camera

The ExZ1 SoloPRO+ ATEX Certified explosion-proof pipe camera represents an advanced pipeline inspection solution meticulously engineered for safe and effective operations in the most challenging and potentially explosive environments. Certified to the rigorous ATEX Zone 1 standards, this intrinsically safe pipe camera delivers unparalleled safety alongside the professional-grade quality, reliability, and accuracy that industrial operators demand for critical infrastructure assessment.

Designed for portability and ruggedness, the ExZ1 SoloPRO+ system seamlessly integrates into field operations across a wide spectrum of hazardous locations. These include, but are not limited to, the oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, food processing, power generation, and waste management industries. This explosion-proof pipe inspection camera fuses cutting-edge technology and proven safety protocols, making it an indispensable tool for conducting thorough, efficient, and secure pipe inspections in environments where the risk of explosion is a constant concern.
With its ATEX approval, this pipe inspection system significantly simplifies and enhances the safety of working in Zone 1 and other explosion-risk environments, offering a superior alternative to methods that might introduce risk. Operators gain a clear view into unknown pipeline conditions without the danger of electronic devices triggering explosive atmospheres.

The system`s capabilities extend to inspecting pipes ranging from as small as 2" and up to over 24" in diameter, with options for expanding capabilities to even larger diameters through specialized accessories.

At the heart of the system is the ATEX-certified ExZ1 CCU210 control unit, which serves as the operational command center. It offers superior control through an ergonomic full QWERTY keyboard and a dedicated joystick for precise camera manipulation. The 8" TFT LCD sunlight-readable display ensures clear imaging, even in bright outdoor conditions. Integrated ProPIPE+ and WinCan software are key to streamlining inspection processes, enabling immediate image and video capture, advanced report generation, and seamless data management via WiFi connectivity and USB/SDHC media support.

A critical safety feature is the built-in ATEX override key, which immediately cuts power upon detecting any safety non-compliances, ensuring unmatched operational safety in hazardous environments.

The ExZ1 SoloPRO+ has multiple coiler options, including 130 ft, 200ft, and 330ft configurations. These coilers provide exceptional cable management solutions. They feature high-grade push rods with tough, durable outer sheaths, manufactured to perform reliably in harsh pipeline conditions. Integrated rod rollers protect the cable during deployment and retrieval. An integrated footage counter provides precise distance tracking, which is essential for accurate defect location. At the same time, water-resistant camera connectors house the multi-frequency sonde systems with selectable frequencies of 33Hz, 512Hz, and 640Hz, allowing for precise location tracking.

Operators can choose from two explosion-proof camera heads, including the CAM025EX Self-Leveling Axial camera and the CAM026LEX Pan, Rotate & Laser camera. These advanced camera systems are nitrogen-pressurized, ATEX Zone 1 certified, and waterproof up to 1 bar, ensuring reliable operation in extreme environments. The CAM026LEX camera head precisely measures pipe diameters, defects, and objects, maintaining the optical excellence required for detailed condition assessment and reporting.

The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to six hours of uninterrupted inspection capabilities in remote locations, significantly boosting field productivity.

The ExZ1 SoloPRO+ explosion-proof pipe inspection camera is a testament to cutting-edge technology combined with intrinsically safe design. It is an indispensable tool for thorough, efficient, and secure pipe survey in hazardous, explosion-prone environments where safety is not just a priority but an absolute necessity.

Note: SoloPRO+ ExZ1 pipe inspection camera is a specially ordered product.

Designed for optimal performance in hazardous environments. Flexibly configurable to meet diverse inspection needs, while strictly adhering to ATEX Zone 1/IECEx safety protocols.

Explosion-proof pipe inspection cameras are engineered to safely examine pipelines located in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as ATEX Zone 1 and UL CI D1 areas. These advanced inspection devices feature critical components encapsulated within protective casings. Such specialized enclosures prevent internal sparks or heat from igniting flammable materials in hazardous environments. By eliminating the need for human inspectors to enter risky or confined spaces, these cameras significantly enhance worker safety, facilitate more efficient and frequent inspections, and deliver clear visual insights, improving overall operational reliability and performance across various industries.

Oil and gas
Explosion-proof pipe cameras enable safe and rapid inspection of offshore and onshore pipelines, significantly reducing the need for costly preparation like nitrogen purging or hot-work permits while proactively identifying maintenance needs.

Petrochemical & Refining
Facilitates accurate visual assessments of complex piping systems and flare stacks, ensures the safe handling of hazardous chemicals and gases, and aids compliance with stringent safety standards.

Power generation
Intrinsically safe pipe inspection cameras are essential for examining critical infrastructure like fuel and gas pipelines, hydrogen cooling systems, and condensate return lines, effectively preventing corrosion-related failures and costly plant downtimes.

Wastewater & Utilities
Critical for inspecting digester-gas systems, biogas collection networks, and sewer force mains where methane and hydrogen sulfide concentrations pose explosion risks. These inspections help prevent environmental releases and ensure system integrity.

Food & Beverage Production
Examines starch, sugar, and flour transfer lines—locations prone to combustible dust explosions—without contaminating product or violating hygienic standards, supporting preventive maintenance.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Allows safe visual inspection of pipelines and processing equipment in areas prone to combustible dust or organic solvent hazards, maintaining continuous operations and compliance with safety regulations.

Mining & Mineral Processing
In mining operations, ATEX Zone 1 pipe cameras offer secure remote inspection capabilities for pipelines and ventilation ducts in environments with elevated methane levels or combustible dust. These cameras mitigate safety risks and enable timely maintenance interventions.

Waste management
Examines landfill-gas collection headers, anaerobic-digester piping, and solvent-recovery lines in recycling facilities where methane, VOCs, or dust can ignite, supporting safe maintenance and regulatory compliance without halting processing lines.
