Xshielder 17 Pro Max: Explosion Proof iPhone for ATEX Zones

19 Mar 2026
by JS

No more compromises between safety and usability

In many ATEX environments organisations must choose: either a safe device or a well performing smartphone. Traditional explosion proof devices are often slow, have limited cameras and do not match modern iOS workflows.

The result is delay, frustration and inefficient processes.

The Xshielder 17 Pro Max changes this. It offers the complete iPhone experience, but safely deployable in ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 and 21. 

 

Full iPhone performance in the field 

The smartphone is based on the iPhone 17 Pro Max and delivers top performance for daily industrial use. 

  • 6.9 inch Super Retina XDR display for clear visibility in bright light. 
  • A19 Pro chip for fast and smooth operation. 
  • 5088 mAh battery suitable for long shifts. 

This results in consistent performance without delays or workarounds. 

 

Smarter inspections with camera and LiDAR 

The Xshielder stands out in fieldwork. 

  • 48 MP camera for clear documentation photos. 
  • 8x optical zoom for safe work at distance. 
  • LiDAR scanner for accurate measurements and 3D insight. 

 

3D scanning with LiDAR and Polycam 

With apps such as Polycam you can instantly create: 

  • 3D models of installations. 
  • Accurate measurements. 
  • Digital documentation for maintenance and engineering. 

This saves time, reduces errors and makes inspections more efficient. 

 

Explosion proof without limitations 

The A17PM Cover makes the device suitable for ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 and 21 without losing functionality. 

  • Full operation of camera, microphones and sensors. 
  • Extra grip, even with gloves or wet hands. 
  • Compact and robust design at 410 grams. 

For working at height there is an NS 9611 compliant lanyard attachment. Safety without sacrificing usability. 

 

100 percent wireless and safe management 

Because USB ports create risks, the device works fully wirelessly. 

  • Charging. 
  • Synchronisation. 
  • Back ups and updates. 

This reduces risk, prevents wear and simplifies remote IT management. 

 

Durable and cost saving design 

Thanks to the replaceable lid concept: 

  • The housing does not need full replacement. 
  • The iPhone can be upgraded within the same system. 

This reduces costs, extends lifespan and increases residual value. 

 

Practical use in the field 

The Xshielder 17 Pro Max is used daily for: 

  • Inspections and reporting. 
  • Asset management. 
  • Digital work preparation. 
  • 3D scans of installations. 

One device supports several critical processes. 

 

Ready for modern ATEX workflows 

The Xshielder 17 Pro Max combines explosion proof safety with the power of iOS. This allows organisations to extend digitalisation into ATEX zones without limitations.

Faster work, fewer errors and more control over processes.
