Proteus ATEX-rated Camera

The ATEX-rated Proteus CCTV survey camera is designed to operate safely in environments where there may be a risk of explosion — such as the public sewer network. (ATEX is the name commonly given to the two European Directives for controlling explosive atmospheres.)

Wastewater assets are classed as ‘open networks’ because substances may be introduced into the system without the authority of the Water and Sewerage Companies (WaSC). Sewers come under the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR), so any equipment used in them must be intrinsically safe (Ex-rated) to negate the risk of igniting potentially flammable gasses, mists, vapours or dusts, via an electrical spark.

Proteus is engineered, built and tested to meet these safety standards, whilst also offering all the features to provide accurate and high quality asset survey data for our WaSC clients.
