An ATEX telephone is used in situations where explosive substances can pose a danger to people and the environment. This way, you can use this phone to take measurements in the event of defects or other repairs. These measurements warn you when there is too high a level of a certain gas, dust or vapor in the air. In the event of a warning, appropriate measures can be taken.
What is a suitable ATEX telephone for you?
Before purchasing this phone, you need to know what type of explosion hazard zones you will be visiting. If there is a risk of explosion for one hundred to a thousand hours per year, your phone falls into zone 1 or 21. (In the characteristics this is indicated as 1/21.) The '1' and '21' stand for the degree of gas and vapor explosion risk. If the hazard occurs less than 10 hours per year, the ATEX telephone falls into zone 2 or zone 22. The '2' and '22' then represent the degree of dust explosion hazard. The hazardous substance and the possible quantity always determine the purchase of a suitable ATEX telephone or ATEX tablet.
Brands of telephones for explosion protection
The ATEX telephones are available from the Bartec, Ecom or i.safe brands. The prices are – depending on the model chosen – approximately between five hundred and thirty-four hundred euros. If you want to identify explosion hazards, it is possible to order an ATEX telephone with or without camera from Mediawinkel.eu. It is useful during your work that you can also operate many telephone screens with your gloves on or with dirty hands. Furthermore, you don't have to worry about moisture or dropping the ATEX phone, because the phones are both water and fall resistant. Your attention can therefore be fully focused on the situation and is not influenced by the equipment available.
What do you pay attention to when ordering a new telephone for explosion protection?
Don't just consider the zone, but also the phone's battery life. It is also important that the telephone continues to work in changing circumstances, such as in damp rooms, in very warm places or if there are air pressure differences in your environment. By choosing a telephone with a high-quality microphone and camera, you can consult or inform your team and team leader with clear images and sound during work. Finally, 'Lone Worker Protection' can offer an extra degree of safety, because you can always easily report an emergency situation, even when you are working alone somewhere. If there is an emergency, you can contact a control room at the touch of a button. In the event of an emergency, the control room can take appropriate action to get you back to safety as quickly as possible. All this thanks to the ATEX telephone.
Only need an ATEX camera?
Do you need an explosion-proof camera and do you sometimes want to be able to switch off the telephone functions? Then you can disable all functions of the phone by using an MDM tool (Mobile Device Management). Examples of these tools are SOTI and Airwatch. Functions that are not used can be disabled with this tool and protected with a password. Even in this case, the user does not get telephone mode on his screen, even if there is a SIM card in the ATEX telephone.
