In critical industries such as maritime, oil and gas, petrochemical, and emergency services, reliable communication is not just a convenience—it's a matter of life and death. When operating in potentially explosive atmospheres or extreme conditions, standard communication devices simply won't suffice. This is where the Entel DT985M steps in, setting an uncompromising benchmark for safety, durability, and crystal-clear communication. As part of Entel's esteemed DTEx Series, the DT985M is a UHF ATEX IIC intrinsically safe portable radio, engineered to perform flawlessly where others fail.
The defining characteristic of the Entel DT985M is its unwavering commitment to safety and robustness. It holds the highest ATEX IIC T4 certification, making it intrinsically safe for use in the most hazardous environments with explosive gas, vapor, and mist. This certification is crucial for industries where a single spark could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Beyond ATEX, the DT985M boasts an industry-leading IP68 submersible rating, meaning it can withstand total immersion in water up to 2 meters deep for 4 hours. This level of ingress protection ensures its functionality even if dropped overboard or exposed to heavy rain and waves, making it ideal for marine operations. Furthermore, its construction adheres to MIL-STD810 C/D/E/F/G military standards, guaranteeing resistance to shock, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures (from -20°C to +55°C operating temperature).
Effective communication relies on clear audio, especially in noisy industrial or maritime settings. The DT985M excels in this area, delivering exceptionally loud and intelligible audio. Entel's proprietary "Smart Speech Tailoring" technology automatically optimizes audio output based on the accessory connected, while advanced noise reduction ensures your message cuts through ambient noise. This means that even with heavy machinery running or strong winds blowing, your voice will be heard, and you'll clearly understand incoming transmissions.
The Entel DT985M offers the versatility of both analogue and digital (DMR) modes of operation. This dual capability allows for a smooth migration from existing analogue systems to more efficient and feature-rich digital communications. Digital mode provides significant benefits, including:
Despite its advanced capabilities, the DT985M is designed for intuitive operation. It features a high-contrast white-on-black OLED display that is easy to read in all lighting conditions. The high-torque ergonomic controls are specifically designed for gloved-hand use, ensuring seamless operation even in challenging working environments. Programmable buttons allow for customization of frequently used functions, and voice annunciation provides audible confirmation of channel selection, allowing users to focus on the task at hand.
Entel understands the demands of fleet management. The DT985M supports simple on-board reprogramming via a user-friendly PC app, allowing for quick updates and configuration changes without needing to send radios off-site. An extensive range of ATEX-approved accessories, including speaker microphones, bone-conductive throat/skull mics, and ear defender headsets, are available to further enhance functionality and user safety.
The Entel DT985M is an indispensable tool for professionals in:
The Entel DT985M is more than just a radio; it's a critical safety device and a cornerstone of reliable communication in the most demanding environments. Its combination of ATEX IIC intrinsic safety, IP68 submersion rating, military-grade durability, superior audio, and versatile digital/analogue capabilities makes it the premier choice for professionals who cannot compromise on safety or performance. Investing in the DT985M means investing in the uninterrupted safety and efficiency of your operations.
