The Navigator 520 is built for industrial conditions. It is rated IP66 against dust and water jets, meets MIL-STD-810G/H, survives a 2-metre drop to concrete, and operates from -20 to +50 C. It is not intrinsically safe, so for explosive-atmosphere (ATEX Zone 1) areas RealWear offers the separate Navigator Z1.
The 2600 mAh battery is hot-swappable, meaning a worker can change it without powering the device down, so a fresh battery keeps a shift going with no interruption. A single battery lasts roughly 6 to 8 hours depending on camera and call use, and carrying a spare covers a long shift.
FAQ:
- Can I use it in the rain? Yes; IP66 covers heavy dust and water jets, though it is not for submersion.
- Is it safe for explosive atmospheres? No; choose the Navigator Z1 for ATEX Zone 1 areas.
