IP (Ingress Protection) ratings

Each IP rating has a 2 digit number: The first digit represents the level of intrusion protection - from solid objects as well as the protection of enclosed equipment from foreign bodies. The second digit represents the moisture protection - the protection level from various forms of moisture (drips, sprays, submersion etc). 

Below is a 'quick find' table to help explain the different IP Ratings:

As you can see from the table above, the most protected two way radio would have an IP rating of 'IP68' - Meaning it is totally dust tight & protected against prolonged immersion in water. IP68 rated radio's available to buy online!

We have various different makes and models of two way radio's and accessories available with different IP ratings, visit our online shop for products matching your criteria.

What is intrisically safe two way radio?
“Intrinsically Safe” (IS) is a protection standard for safe operation of electronic equipment in explosive environments. The concept was originally developed for safe operation of process control instrumentation in hazardous areas, particularly around flammable and explosive products. A two-way radio that is termed  “intrinsically safe” is both designed and certified to eliminate (or encapsulate any) components that produce sparks - or which could generate enough heat to cause an ignition in areas with flammable gasses, dusts or fuels.

What is 'ATEX'?
ATEX is the European term referring to the two European directives that define what can be classed as ATEX equipment...

Directive 1999/92/EC, also known as the 'ATEX Workplace Directive', deals with the safety and health of workers potentially at risk from exposure to explosive atmosphere. The directive has been in force from 30th of June 2003.

Directive 94/9/EC, or the 'ATEX Equipment Directive' deals with equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere. The Directive has also been in force since 30th of June 2003.

ATEX is named after the French 'ATmosphère EXplosif'. All the 24 member countries of the European Union (plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) are subject to the directives. Manufacturers, who comply with its provisions and affix the CE and EX marking, are able to sell their equipment anywhere in the European Union. 

What are the benefits of intrinsically safe 2 way radio?
Intrinsically safe ATEX two-way radios can be safely used in almost any environment. They are fully encapsulated and all the contacts are made in a way that eliminates the risk of sparks, no matter how small. In addition intrinsically safe radios do not heat up.

Where would intrinsically safe 2 way radio usually be used?
ATEX two way radio equipment is typically used in offshore drilling & exploration platforms, around oil rigs and on petrol, oil & chemical tankers. Intrinsically safe radios are also used in mines (where there is a possibility of flammable gases), as well as shore based drilling platforms and land based chemical & explosive factories. Suffice to say the list is endless.

What manufacturers sell ATEX two-way radio?
Most of the major manunfacturers produce ATEX variants of their 2 way radios. Motorola offer intrinsically safe radios - as well as ICOM ATEX, Kenwood ATEX, Vertex ATEX and the UK manufacturer ENTEL (ATEX).

Can Delcom repair and service intrinsically safe and ATEX two way radio?
Yes we can. We can offer intrinsically safe 2 way radio repairs for any major manufacturer equipment, using only original manufacturer parts and without affecting the products warranty. We also offer a number of spares and accessories specifically for the ATEX market. In the unusual situation where we can't repair the equipment ourselves then we have the facility to send the kit directly back to the manufacturer.

The exact technical standards for DMR are specified in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Standards TS 102 361 parts 1 to 4, the standards are used in products sold in all regions of the world. The applicable ETSI compliance standards are EN 300 113 and EN 300 390. Products built to the DMR standard also comply with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandates in the United States for the use and certification of 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz narrowband technology for systems covered by Part 90 regulations.

The DMR standard operates within the existing channel spacing that is used in land mobile frequency bands (UHF & VHF). Its aim is to specify a non-complex digital system that is low cost and has interoperability across brands, so that purchasers are not locked in to a proprietary solution. DMR provides voice, data, GPS and other services, it is a 2 slot, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) system offering voice, data and a range of other features and applications.

In 2005, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was formed between potential DMR suppliers including Tait, ICOM, Motorola, Hytera, Vertex and Kenwood to establish common standards and interoperability. While the DMR standard does not specify the vocoder, MOU members agreed to use the half rate DVSI Advanced Multi-Band Excitation (AMBE) vocoder to ensure interoperability.

In 2009, the MOU members set up the DMR Association to work on interoperability between vendors equipment and to provide information about the DMR standard.

DMR Tier I
DMR Tier I products are for license-free use in the PMR 446MHz band. This part of the standard provides for consumer applications and low-power commercial applications, using a maximum of 0.5 watt RF power. With a limited number of channels and no use of repeaters, no use of telephone interconnects, fixed/integrated antennas, and a talk timer of 180 seconds,

Tier I DMR devices are best suited for personal use, recreation, small retail and other settings that do not require wide area coverage or advanced features.

DMR Tier II
DMR Tier II covers conventional licensed 2 way radio systems, mobiles, base stations and hand portables that are operating in PMR frequency bands from 66-960MHz. The ETSI DMR Tier II standard is targeted at those users who need spectral efficiency, advanced voice features and integrated IP data services in licensed bands for high-power communications. ETSI DMR Tier II specifies two slot TDMA in 12.5 kHz channels.DMR

Tier III
DMR Tier III covers trunking operation in frequency bands 66-960MHz. The Tier III standard specifies two slot TDMA in 12.5kHz channels. Tier III supports voice and short messaging handling similar to MPT-1327 with built-in 128 character status messaging and short messaging with up to 288 bits of data in a variety of formats. It also supports packet data service in a variety of formats, including support for IPv4 and IPv6.

As a responsible company we take our environmental obligations very seriously.

We are fully compliant with WEEE regulations. We offer our customers a free electrical equipment disposal service. Simply send or ask us to collect your old equipment and we will dispose of it safely and legally, free of charge. No time limits, no conditions, if you're a customer (new or old) simply give us a call and we'll take care of the rest.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is UK law, the legislation aims to make manufacturers pay for the collection, and disposal of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge. 

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing source of waste in the UK.

Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where lead and other toxins it contains causes soil and water contamination. This has a harmful effect on our habitat, as well as the health of both humans and animals alike.

Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items reduces carbon emissions, saves energy and reduces the environmental & health risks associated with disposing of electrical goods at landfill.

Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should be marked with the WEEE symbol. Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after August 2005. As such they should be disposed of separately from normal household waste, so that they can be recycled.
