ATEX & Intrinsically Safe Two Way Radio FAQs
What is an ATEX two way radio?
An ATEX two way radio is designed and certified for use in certain hazardous environments where explosive gases, vapours or combustible dust may be present. These radios are constructed to reduce the risk of the equipment becoming an ignition source.
What does ATEX mean?
ATEX refers to the European requirements governing equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. ATEX-rated radio equipment is assessed and certified for specified hazardous environments and conditions of use.
What is an intrinsically safe radio?
An intrinsically safe radio is designed so that its electrical and thermal energy is controlled to prevent the radio from igniting a hazardous atmosphere under the conditions for which it is certified. Intrinsic safety is a protection method used for equipment operating in hazardous areas.
Where can ATEX radios be used?
ATEX radios can be used in appropriately classified hazardous areas, including oil and gas refineries, petrochemical facilities, chemical manufacturing, fuel storage and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The radio must have the appropriate certification for the specific environment.
Can I use a normal two way radio in an ATEX zone?
Standard two way radios should not be used in hazardous areas where the equipment is not appropriately certified. The correct radio depends on the hazardous-area classification and the specific gases, vapours or dusts that may be present.
Are ATEX radios the same as intrinsically safe radios?
The terms are closely related but are not necessarily interchangeable. ATEX refers to the applicable equipment requirements and certification framework, while intrinsic safety is a specific protection method used to prevent electrical or thermal energy from causing ignition.
What ATEX radio accessories are available?
Compatible ATEX radio accessories can include intrinsically safe batteries, chargers, earpieces, headsets and remote speaker microphones. Accessories must be suitable for the specific radio and its certification requirements.
Can ATEX radios be used in oil and gas refineries?
Yes, appropriately certified ATEX radios can be used in suitable hazardous areas within oil and gas refineries. The required equipment depends on the site's hazardous-area classification and the certification of the radio and accessories.
Can I hire ATEX two way radios?
Yes. ATEX radio hire provides a flexible option for temporary projects, shutdowns, maintenance work and other short-term requirements. DCS 2 Way Radio can advise on suitable ATEX radios and accessories based on your operational requirements.
