Unibose ATEX-UCAM Standard Control Unit – Safe Zone

The Unibose ATEX-UCAM Standard Control Unit is the Safe Zone central control and interface unit for the ATEX-UCAM intrinsically safe CCTV monitoring system. Installed outside the hazardous area in a designated Safe Zone, this unit safely powers and manages up to four ATEX-UCAM cameras operating inside Zone 0 environments where flammable gases, vapors, or liquids are continuously present. It provides oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical operators with reliable, real-time visual access to pipelines, tanks, reactors, and silos without placing non-certified display or power electronics inside the explosive atmosphere.

Designed for straightforward integration into existing control rooms and monitoring stations, the Option 1 Standard Control Unit accepts universal 230V/110V AC mains power and outputs crisp live video via HDMI to any external monitor or recording system. By keeping the control electronics safely outside Zone 0 while connecting via 50m, 75m, or 100m cables to the IP68 SS316 camera heads inside the hazardous zone, facilities gain a scalable, multi-camera inspection setup built for continuous operation from -20°C to +60°C.

Key Features:

✅ Safe Zone Installation – Operates outside Zone 0 to safely interface with ATEX Zone 0 camera heads
✅ Multi-Camera Capacity – Supports up to 4 ATEX-UCAM cameras simultaneously per control unit
✅ Industrial System Durability – Pairs with IP68 SS316/SS316L Zone 0 camera enclosures
✅ HDMI Video Output – HDMI output in the Safe Zone for seamless connection to monitors and recorders
✅ Smooth Live Video Feed – Processes 640 x 480 PAL rolling shutter video at 50fps from connected Zone 0 cameras
✅ Intrinsically Safe System Architecture – Isolates Safe Zone AC power from Ex ia Zone 0 camera circuits (suitable for hydrogen-rich IIC environments)
✅ Universal AC Power Supply – Operates on standard 230V / 110V AC Safe Zone power
✅ Integrated Camera Illumination Control – Drives the camera's separate-compartment 62-lumen cool white LED for sludge- and oil-free clarity
✅ Long-Distance & Reel-Ready Cabling – Supports 6-pin camera connections across 50m, 75m, and 100m cable runs

FAQs:

Is the Option 1 Standard Control Unit installed inside Zone 0?
No. The Option 1 Standard Control Unit is strictly for Safe Zone installation outside the hazardous area. Only the ATEX-UCAM camera heads (certified II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga) are installed inside Zone 0, while the control unit remains safely in the non-hazardous Safe Zone.

How many Zone 0 cameras can be connected to one Standard Control Unit?
A single Option 1 Standard Control Unit supports up to 4 ATEX-UCAM cameras simultaneously, allowing operators to monitor multiple Zone 0 tanks, pipelines, or inspection points from one Safe Zone hub.

What power supply and video output does the Standard Control Unit use?
The control unit runs on standard 230V/110V AC Safe Zone power and features an HDMI output for connecting directly to control room monitors, TVs, or digital video recorders.

How far can the ATEX-UCAM cameras be placed from the Safe Zone Control Unit?
The system supports cable lengths of 50 meters, 75 meters, and 100 meters between the Safe Zone control unit and the Zone 0 camera heads, and is compatible with cable reels for mobile deployment.
