Hazardous Area LED Lighting ATEX Zone 2 (21/22) – Appleton Industrial Areamaster™ Connect LED

Product Overview

Hazardous Area LED Lighting

Appleton Industrial Areamaster™ Connect LED

The Appleton™ Industrial Areamaster™ Connect LED Luminaire is engineered for top-tier performance and flexibility, offering a next-generation WirelessHART™ connected hazardous area LED lighting solution.

The hazardous area floodlight features adjustable lumen output ranging from 9,500 to 38,000 lumens, while enhancing the WirelessHART™ network. Areamaster™ Connect hazardous area LED luminaire is designed for harsh and hazardous industrial environments Zone 2 (21/22).

Areamaster™ Connect supports various smart control features, such as dimmable output, built-in photocontrol for daylight harvesting, and customised group scheduling. Its integrated 0-10v dimming controller allows for the adjustment of lighting output across a group of dimmable LED luminaires. Additionally, the optional Plantweb™ Insight Connected Lighting Application offers map-based commissioning, energy usage tracking, and maintenance notifications.

In the long term, the Connected Lighting Application tracks system health and energy usage to reduce maintenance needs, while also analysing sustainability metrics, such as CO2 emission reductions.

Typical Applications

The enclosed and gasketed fixtures make the Areamaster™ Connect suitable for use in a wide range of industrial, chemical processing and other areas where flammable gases and vapours are present, including:

• Oil and Gas Refineries
• Petrochemical Plants
• Foundries
