Hytera ATEX Radios
Radios with an ATEX certification are safe to use in a variety of working environments where explosions are a potential hazard, including power plants, chemical processing facilities, and oil refineries. ATEX (or intrinsically safe) radios are designed to operate without creating ignition sources, such as sparks, so teams can communicate safely despite their surroundings.
As one of the leading providers of mobile radio communications equipment, Hytera manufactures an extensive range of ATEX radios. Each Hytera ATEX radio handset has been designed and constructed to the high standards that the company is known for.
Digitall Comms is an authorised dealer of Hytera products, and we offer the latest Hytera ATEX two-way radios for purchase or hire. Our experts will be happy to discuss your communication needs and help you find the best radios for you.
Hytera ATEX Radios Overview
Professionals across diverse industries can depend on Hytera’s ATEX-certified handsets to stay in contact while working. Hytera ATEX two-way radios offer rugged construction, outstanding features, and high-quality audio for clear transmissions. Crucially, each model is designed for easy and convenient operation.
Key Features
-
Robust construction to minimise damage
To earn an ATEX certification, Hytera’s radios undergo thorough testing to measure their damage resistance, ability to cope with extreme temperatures, and more.
- ATEX devices must continue to operate at temperatures as high as +45°c and as low as -20°c.
- Radios are tested for their ability to handle sudden fluctuations in temperature, and they must be tough enough to withstand impacts (e.g. if dropped during handling).
- ATEX radios must be resistant to dust, sand, water, and chemicals.
All Hytera ATEX handsets have passed these tests and achieved a certification to verify that they’re suitable for challenging environments.
-
Choose from DMR and TETRA radios
You can hire or purchase two types of Hytera ATEX two-way radios:
- Digital Mobile Radio (DMR)
- TErrestrial Trunked RAdio (TETRA)
DMR radios are typically used to accommodate radio traffic in large volumes and have broader coverage areas. TETRA radios work best with smaller coverage areas, but may be preferable for communicating in urban environments with significant radio traffic.
-
Safety features for workplace emergencies
ATEX radios from Hytera include various features to help users stay safe. If an individual is working in a secluded area of a refinery or plant alone, they can rest assured that their radio will help them raise the alarm if their safety becomes compromised.
- A lone worker monitoring feature activates an alarm if radio users remain inactive for longer than usual.
- The man down feature detects changes in radio positioning and alerts controllers to potential injuries or falls.
- The Emergency button sends an instant alert to request assistance.
-
IP ratings for protection from damage
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings indicate the level of protection a device offers against water, dust, and other substances that could affect its function. With IP67 ratings, Hytera ATEX radios are safe to use even when less-resilient radios would be at high risk of damage.
- IP67 ratings for resistance to dust, so internal electronics will be unaffected even in areas prone to dusty buildups.
- IP67-rated radios can stay submerged in water as deep as 1m for up to 30 minutes.
-
Easy to use even with gloved hands
Simple operation is a major benefit for any radio. Users should be able to control a handset and communicate easily, without being confused or frustrated by the design. Hytera’s ATEX models are user-friendly and convenient to use.
- Users can operate radios while wearing gloves (a common safety requirement in many working environments)
- Keys are large, textured, and arranged conveniently on handsets
