Intrinsically safe headset: overview
This intrinsically safe headset (the RealWear Navigator Z1) is purpose-built for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapours or dust may be present. It is certified for ATEX Zone 1 and CSA Class 1 Division 1, bringing hands-free assisted reality to oil and gas platforms, chemical plants and energy facilities where conventional electronics are not permitted.
A tiltable dual-camera system combines a 50 MP visual camera with an integrated FLIR Lepton 3.5 thermal sensor with MSX, so documentation photos and thermal inspection come from a single device.
It is also IP66 rated, MIL-STD-810H certified and drop-tested, and works from -20 °C up to 55 °C, with 128 GB of storage, 8 GB of RAM and a Qualcomm QCS6490 processor.
Who the intrinsically safe headset is for
Oil and gas platforms, chemical plants, refineries and energy facilities with classified hazardous zones.
Features in detail
Hazardous-area certification
ATEX Zone 1 and CSA Class 1 Division 1 let it be used where ordinary electronics are forbidden.
Visual plus thermal cameras
A 50 MP camera and a FLIR Lepton 3.5 thermal sensor with MSX; video up to 4K at 30 fps or 1080p at 120 fps.
Rugged build
IP66, MIL-STD-810H and drop-tested, working from -20 °C to 55 °C.
More processing power
Qualcomm QCS6490 with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, plus Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax).
Clear audio
Four noise-cancelling microphones (to 100 dBA) and two 94 dBA speakers.
Adjustable display
A 1280 × 720 LCoS display on a 6-way boom arm for either eye.
Compatibility
Compatible with helmets, safety and prescription eyewear, hearing protection and headphones. Only accessories stated as intrinsically safe keep the certification: fitting the Mini LTE Modem, for example, means the system is no longer considered intrinsically safe.
Choosing the right accessories
For the rugged headsets (Navigator 520 and Z1), choose a mount that matches your site rules: brand-specific hard hat clips give the firmest fit on MSA, Honeywell, Petzl, 3M and Japanese helmets; the universal hard hat band fits most other front-brim hard hats; the Workband 2, Tri-Band Strap and Overhead Band are for use without a hard hat or under a bump cap; and the ball cap suits outdoor, light-duty work.
For power, the Navigator 520 uses hot-swappable 2600 mAh batteries: pair spares with the single-bay charger and a Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A adapter. The lightweight headband model (Arc 3) charges over USB-C or on its desk/wall charging station, powered by a USB-C Power Delivery adapter.
For connectivity and sensing, the Mini LTE Modem adds 4G where there is no Wi-Fi, and the thermal camera module adds FLIR thermal imaging to the Navigator 520. Remember that only certified accessories keep the Navigator Z1 intrinsically safe.
Setup and use
Care and maintenance
Wipe the display window, camera lens and housing with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid solvents on the plastics and optics. Clean or replace straps and pads regularly on shared headsets, charge batteries at room temperature, and keep the headset in its EVA case for transport. Install Ari OS updates and manage the fleet through Ari Cloud so every device runs the same software.
