Kenwood’s TK-3260EX portables are expressly designed to provide clear communications with intrinsic safety in potentially explosive duty environments such as oil refineries, chemical plants and grain silos. Kenwood radios are valued by professionals worldwide for their simple operation
and reliable performance, and these new ATEX/IECEx-certified models boast such features as Lone Worker and Man-down Detection to further enhance employee safety.
Special enclosure and circuitry designs ensure that these portables meet ATEX requirements for intrinsic safety. Antistatic resin is used for the casing, battery and belt hook. Also effective RF output is 1.2W, maintained within the upper limit set by ATEX directive.
The Voting function (Intelligent Scanning) looks for and locks onto the best repeater station automatically in a multi-site system.
Three different staff safe functions are available that make use of the built-in motion sensor. When activated, a “man-down” alert is generated automatically if the radio (and user) is not upright for a
length of time. Similarly alerts can be sent if the radio is stationary for a preset period or if it is being shaken/swung violently as when someone is running.
This ingenious feature provides an extra layer of security and safety for individuals who work remotely or in hazardous areas. If the buttons are not operated for a certain time (programmable), it will sound an alert. If there is still no response from the user, the TK-2260EX/3260EX will place an
emergency call to a predetermined person or group.
Kenwood’s TK-3260EX and designated options are certified to the ATEX protection classes II 2G Ex ib IIC T4, II 2D Ex tD A21 IP6x ib D21 T110°C, and I M2 Ex ib I
