Product Overview

CHALLENGER 18i‑FMO is an intrinsically‑safe remote PC display terminal for hazardous process zones, built for oil‑refinery, chemical and offshore platform operator workstation applications. It delivers visualisation without placing general‑purpose PC hardware inside explosive classified zones; host PC stays located in safe area while video and peripheral signals are transmitted to this field‑mount terminal. End‑of‑life industrial HMI hardware available as refurbished spare parts for existing hazardous‑area workstation replacement projects.

Application Notes

‑ Must operate together with matching 18‑PSU power supply unit; strictly follow intrinsic‑safe wiring parameters. ‑ Ensure front‑panel sealing gasket is correctly fitted to maintain IP66 rating. ‑ All field wiring must comply with local ATEX / IECEx installation regulations. ‑ Typical deployment: chemical‑plant Zone 1 operator display spare‑part stocking.
