VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER
IC-M87
ATEX Version
ATEX Intrinsically Safe Marine Radio
ATEX Intrinsically Safe Type Approval
The IC-M87 ATEX and designated options are certified to the ATEX Directive. It is suitable for use in hazardous areas where
flammable gas- ses or liquids are used such as petroleum tankers and bulk cargo carrier. The approved rating is II2G Ex ib IIA T3 Gb. Special conditions for use: Must be used with BP-227AX When the transceiver is used in hazardous areas, either the jack cover or HM-138 must be attached to the connector. Ambient operating temperature: –20°C to +55°C EN 60079-0: 2012 + A11: 2013, EN 60079-11: 2012
