17-Inch Explosion Proof Monitor (ATEX Monitor)

The KDK17 Explosion Proof  Monitor (ATEX Monitor)functions as an industrial-grade interface display. The display uses 17 inches of screen space to deliver both excellent display quality and safety measures for use in explosive areas and tough environmental conditions.

The KDK17 meets ATEX and IECEx standards which makes it perfect for offshore platforms and chemical plants as well as oil refineries and Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas that contain flammable gases or dust. This monitor uses anti-corrosion materials and advanced sealing technologies to provide exceptional durability in challenging industrial environments.

Explosion Proof Monitor Design & ATEX Monitor Certifications

The KDK17 monitor features a certified explosion proof monitor housing, meeting the global standards of ATEX and IECEx for safe use in gas and dust-laden environments. The device’s design ensures it will not ignite surrounding explosive gases or vapors during normal operation or in case of internal failure.

• • The product displays the following markings:
  • Explosion-proof marking: Ex db IIB T5 Gb / Ex tb IIIC T95°C Db
  • ATEX Certificate No.: ITS21ATEX402182X
  • IECEx Certificate No.: IECEx ITS 21.0021X

The KDK17 holds official approvals to operate safely in Zones 1 and 2 (gas) together with Zones 21 and 22 (dust) which enables high adaptability for multiple industrial settings.

Anti-Corrosion Material and Ingress Protection

The monitor utilizes 316L stainless steel to protect against harsh chemical agents and salt mist as well as extreme weather conditions. The high-quality steel offers outstanding corrosion resistance which protects marine and offshore environments from chloride-induced corrosion.

• • The monitor features an advanced ingress protection rating of IP66/IP67. The device achieves the following levels of protection:
  • The device has full protection against dust particles (IP6X)
  • The device resists powerful water jets at high pressure (IP66)
  • The device can stay underwater at 1 meter depth for 30 minutes (IP67)

The environmental sealing of this level guarantees that the internal electronics will stay protected and operational in dusty, wet, or chemically reactive environments.

Display and Visual Performance

The KDK17 features a 17-inch TFT LCD screen which generates high-quality visuals to monitor processes as well as control systems and display CCTV footage.

Key Display Features:

• • The resolution of 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) provides exceptional image quality with detailed clarity.
  • The screen brightness reaches 350 cd/m² which allows users to view content clearly under daylight conditions.
  • The 1000:1 contrast ratio creates strong black levels and bright white levels.
  • The screen offers a 170° horizontal and vertical viewing angle that enables users to see the display from many different directions.
  • The 5 milliseconds response time makes sure that dynamic content will display smoothly without any ghosting effects.

This high-performance display serves as an excellent choice for mission-critical industrial control systems because it provides clear visuals which support real-time decision-making.

User Interface and Compatibility

The KDK17 supports multiple input interfaces, making it easy to integrate into existing system architectures. Whether you’re setting up a standalone display or part of a networked control system, this monitor provides seamless compatibility with:

• • HDMI
  • VGA
  • BNC (optional)
  • USB for touch input
  • RS232 or RS485 interfaces (optional)

These connectivity options offer flexibility in installation and operation across diverse industrial systems.

Electrical Specifications

• Power Supply: 12V DC standard, with optional 100–240V AC adapter
• Power Consumption: Maximum 36W
• Connector Type: Industrial M12 or aviation plug, ensuring secure and reliable connections in hazardous areas

The monitor’s energy-efficient design reduces power draw while maintaining full visual performance, which is especially useful in remote installations or backup power scenarios.

Environmental Operating Range

The KDK17 is designed to perform optimally in extreme environmental conditions:

• • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C
  • Storage Temperature: -30°C to +70°C
  • Humidity: 10% to 95% (non-condensing)
  • Vibration Resistance: 5–19Hz at 1.0mm amplitude, 19–200Hz at 1.0G
  • Shock Resistance: 10G peak acceleration (11ms duration)

These attributes make it exceptionally reliable in dynamic and rugged operational environments such as oil rigs, mining equipment control panels, or mobile hazardous units.
