Product Information

The Duo ATEX is a rechargeable headband lamp approved for safe use in potentially explosive gas, vapour and mist atmospheres.  It is the ideal lighting solution for workers in confined spaces and hazardous areas, needing a ‘hands free’ lamp, which will direct a beam of light wherever they look.  CE marking in compliance with the 94/9/EC explosive atmospheres ‘ATEX’ Directive confirms that the Duo ATEX is compliant with the latest European legislation, and is safe for use in zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas, where the T3 temperature class permits.  The Duo ATEX comprises of a head unit and a battery box joined by a cable, and mounted on an elastic headband. Both head unit and battery box are sealed ‘water resistant’ and are constructed from high quality impact resistant plastic materials. The lens is shatterproof polycarbonate.  The headband is adjustable, for use on a head or a hardhat.  Helmetclips are available for hardhat use, as additional items, to secure the elasticated straps in place.  The Duo ATEX incorporates two light sources, selected using an externally mounted switch with lock feature to prevent accidental switching.  The 2 watt filament bulb has a ‘zoom’ function, allowing beam adjustment from narrow spot to wide angle flood and gives a duration of up to 7 hours.  Alternatively, the bright, white LED light source offers energy efficient close-up illumination for up to 24 hours. The LEDs will run for up to 160 hours, but at a reduced light output. The head unit will pivot up or down for accurate beam positioning. A spare bulb is supplied, fitted inside the head unit.  The rechargeable battery pack is short-circuit protected to intrinsically safe levels and is safe to be removed and replaced in the hazardous area. The Duo ATEX is supplied with a mains “quick” charger, fully charging a completely discharged battery pack in 4 hours.  Alternatively a vehicle charger is available to charge the battery from a 12v vehicle supply.
