The ATEX LED HT-400Z0 headtorch is a compact, lightweight, and highly durable lighting solution designed for hands-free use in challenging environments, especially where access requires climbing or crawling. It is CE marked to the ATEX directive and certified under UKEX and IECEx schemes for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, including Zones 0, 1, and 2 for gases, and Zones 21 and 22 for dust. This comprehensive approval also covers all Group II industrial gas apparatus groups with potentially explosive gases up to the T4 temperature class, ensuring its suitability across a wide range of hazardous environments.
Weighing only 90 grams including batteries, the HT-400Z0 is constructed from robust, high-impact thermoplastic materials that are resistant to chemicals, contributing to its durability in harsh conditions. It features a shatterproof polycarbonate lens designed to withstand impact, while the tilt adjustment mechanism allows users to angle the light beam for optimal illumination. The headtorch utilizes bespoke optics to deliver a broad spot beam with a wide-angle fringe, making it ideal for close-up hands-free tasks. The ergonomic design supports single-handed switching, and the unit is sealed to provide water and dust resistance with an IP67 rating, ensuring reliability even in wet or dusty environments.
Powered by a ‘fitted for life’ high-power LED light source, the HT-400Z0 produces up to 120 lumens at source, delivering bright, consistent light output. Its energy-efficient design provides an optimal operating duration of approximately 8.5 hours using three AAA alkaline primary cells, making it an economical choice for personal lighting needs in hazardous areas. The use of primary cells ensures easy replacement and availability in most settings.
The headtorch comes supplied with an adjustable, removable fabric headband for comfortable wear directly on the head over extended periods, while a set of four helmet clips enables secure attachment to hard hats. This flexibility allows the HT-400Z0 to meet the demands of various working conditions, providing reliable illumination whether worn on the head or helmet.
Certified to the highest safety standards, the HT-400Z0 employs ‘ia/ib’ intrinsic safety protection and is rated for use in gas zones 0, 1, and 2 covering gas groups IIA, IIB, and IIC. It is suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +40°C. For dust environments, it is approved for Zones 21 and 22 dust groups IIIA and IIIB, with a maximum surface temperature of 125°C. The enclosure consists of chemical-resistant, high-impact thermoplastic, while the beam output features a broad spot with wide-angle fringe light for versatile illumination.
Overall, the ATEX LED HT-400Z0 headtorch combines high safety certifications with robust construction, efficient lighting performance, and practical ergonomic features, making it a dependable tool for professionals working in explosive gas and dust hazardous areas.
