"The explosion-proof funkwerk FT4 Ex / FT4 S Ex has been developed for the chemical and petrochemical industries." This model adheres to the strict ATEX certification standard for gas and dust (II 2G Ex ib IIC T4 Gb / II 2D Ex ib III C T125°C IP6x Db) and possesses an extremely robust enclosure that makes it the first ATEX unit on the market with IP65 certification," explains Tilo Odernheimer, director of product management. "The TETRA World Congress is the ideal venue for us to demonstrate our expertise as developers of high-quality and high-performance TETRA devices."
The funkwerk FT4 series TETRA radios are equipped with high quality sensors and have been specially designed for use in prisons and, in the explosion-proof version, for the chemical and petrochemical industries. The handsets are equipped with personal security functionality for emergency situations including both manual and automatic alarms. The radios are also certified according to Germany’s employer liability insurance association guidelines for personal emergency systems in hazardous workplaces (BGR 139) and also comply with DIN V VDE 0825-1.
