KERN LED Ex-valgusti ATEX 1/21 ja 2/21 (kompaktne) | Elister

KERN - compact LED Ex luminaire for ATEX zones 1/21 and 2/21

Product overview

CORE is a compact industrial LED Ex luminaire in a polycarbonate (PC) housing, designed for use in explosive atmospheres in both gas and dust atmospheres. The KERN is available in two ATEX variants as a single product family: CORE-EX1/21 higher risk Zone 1/21 environments (e.g. paint and varnish booths, solvent stores); and CORE-EX2/21 lower risk Zone 2/21 environments (e.g. powder coating lines, chemical auxiliary rooms). Manufacturer: Vyrtych a.s. (Czech Republic). Supplier and distributor in Estonia: Elister OÜ.

  • What it is: Compact ATEX/IECEx LED Ex luminaire, available in Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/21 versions.
  • For: paint, varnish, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries with explosive atmospheres.
  • Where to use: Painting and varnishing booths (EX1/21), powder coating lines (EX2/21), solvent stores, chemical surface treatment and auxiliary rooms, maintenance and emergency lighting in hazardous areas.
  • Key parameters: IP66/IP67, IK08, operating temperature down to -30 °C, LED lifetime up to 110 000 h, dimmable, emergency lighting options 3h.

The KERN is a compact (195 × 122 mm) LED luminaire with a linear shape, a robust PC housing (RAL 7035) and a UV-stable opal PC coating for a long lifetime and uniform light output. The luminaire is designed for both ceiling and wall mounting and is also suitable for pendant installation. An optional dimming option is available, and the Zone 2/21 version is available with a special dimming function. magnetic switchwith an emergency option allowing the emergency function to be controlled without opening the lamp.

The KERN is the ideal compact solution where EXTEND or EXTRA linear luminaires would be too large - e.g. to illuminate low spaces, staircases, narrow corridors, ventilation shafts or smaller technical rooms in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Choice - which CORE is right for you?

  • CORE-EX1/21 - higher risk explosive atmospheres: paint and varnish booths, solvent stores (ATEX Zone 1 = vapours regularly present; Zone 21 = dust regularly present). Use when the luminaire is installed directly in a painting chamber or similar high risk area.
  • CORE-EX2/21 - lower risk environments: powder coating lines, chemical auxiliary rooms, storage areas (ATEX Zone 2 = vapours occur only infrequently and for short periods; Zone 21 = dust occurs regularly). Also suitable for emergency lighting thanks to the possibility of a magnetic switch.

Places of use

  • Painting and varnishing chambers (KERN-EX1/21)
  • Powder coating lines and booths (KERN-EX2/21)
  • Storage rooms for solvents, paints and chemicals
  • Auxiliary and maintenance facilities for the chemical industry
  • Explosive atmospheres in the pharmaceutical and food industries
  • Low ceiling height or narrow technical spaces
  • Emergency lighting in potentially explosive atmospheres (NM/NNM options)
