Safe and reliable communication is an important aspect in Ex-hazardous areas. Stringent requirements have to be satisfied by all radio transceivers used, to ensure a safe communication, even over long distances.
The ecom Ex-PMR 1000 portable radio transceiver was developed specifically for this purpose. Featuring ATEX certification the device complies with the very latest standards and can be used in Zones 1 and 2, or 22.
The frequency band ranging from 446.000 MHz to 446.100 MHz was opened for public use by the ERC with the publication of its decision ERC/DEC/(98) 25, 26, 27 dated 1 December 1998. All handheld devices with fixed antenna which operate in this frequency range conform to the ETS 300296 licensing standard and are allowed to be used license- and chargefree in many European countries. The Ex-PMR 1000 fulfils the rigid specifications of IP54 and therefore meets the high demand for industrial ruggedness and reliability especially for applications in Ex-hazardous areas.
The maximum transmission power is limited to 500 mW ERP, giving a range of up to 5 km. The CTCSS and DCS pilot tone systems are configured for selective analogue and digital coding. A variety of pilot tones enables users to communicate within groups.
All functions of the radio unit can be easily preconfigured via PC using the optional software kit.
