They support simplex and duplex communication, with up to 32 digital and 13 analogue functions.
Operators can receive messages, set alarms, and receive status indications.
The systems are fully EX functional, with receiver units that can be fitted with serial interfaces or industry-standard analogue and digital I/O.
Long-life rechargeable batteries can be replaced within EX zones.
Operator terminal layouts are customizable with various control options like joysticks and switches.

Applications

Oil skimmers and recovery systems.
Land-based drilling rigs, oil and gas platforms, offshore cranes, and petrochemical plants.
Coal mining machines and underground mining equipment.

Technical Characteristics

Unique signal encoding prevents unintended operations, with activity checks on startup.
Stop relay activation occurs in 50 milliseconds.
License-exempt frequency with low power outputs in the European ISM bandwidth of 418-870 MHz.
Digital and analogue feedback with PLC functionality for interlocking, sequencing, and timing functions.
