PD715 Ex ATEX DMR Portable Radio

Reliable DMR communication in hazardous explosive atmospheres

Durability
The handheld radio PD715 Ex meets the requirements of the European ATEX directive, the IEC guidelines as well as the North American FM standard. Furthermore, the device meets the US military standard MIL-STD-810C/D/E/F/G and is dust-proof and waterproof in accordance with the degree of protection IP67.
As such, the PD715 Ex is exceptionally suited for the secure and reliable operation in potentially hazardous and particularly harsh environments.

Fail-safe design
Using batteries or accessory components with an insufficient level of protection automatically triggers an alarm so that malfunctions of this type cannot occur.

Plastic encapsulation
Both the radio itself and the battery are encapsulated in plastic in order to connect the internal circuits and to prevent the penetration of liquids, dust and harmful gases.

Innovative battery latch
The patented latch on the battery ensures that the battery cannot fall out should the radio be dropped on a hard surface.

Integrated GPS as standard
Using the integrated GPS module, the PD715 Ex can send location information to dispatcher systems. Dispatchers can evaluate this information and use functions such as geofencing, radio localization and GPS tracking.

Upgradeable firmware
Having upgradeable firmware makes it possible to enhance the system with new features. Changing the firmware-software enables other digital and analog operating modes to be integrated without having to purchase a new radio.

ATEX certification
All radios used in potentially explosive areas must comply with the European Union's ATEX directives. The PD715 Ex meets the Ex ib protection standard for intrinsic safety in accordance with the ATEX directives, and can therefore be used in hazard zones 1 and 2.

Over the Air Encryption
The over-the-air encryption function encrypts the signaling on the air interface. All subscribers need the relevant access rights to take part in the radio communication. This means that call setup is encrypted, the system is protected against unauthorized access and connection data cannot be tapped.

• Automatic cell re-selection (roaming) in IP multi-site systems
• Scanning
• One-touch functions (incl. text messages, voice calls and supplementary services)
• Supplementary services, radio check, remote monitor, call alert, radio disable/enable
• Various analog dialing methods (HDC1200, DTMF, 2-tone and 5-tone dialing, squelch procedure / CTCSS/CDCSS tone call)
• Data services (text messages, group text messages, control of the radio via an API)
• GPS functions (retrieving and sending location data)
• Versatile voice calls: Individual call, group call, broadcast call, emergency call
• Secure encryption with the ARC4 (40 bit) encryption algorithm in accordance with DMRA or with optional AES128 and AES256 (128 and 256 bit) algorithms
