Product description

Entel DT885M: UHF ATEX IIB walkie-talkie for maritime and industrial communications

Secure communication in potentially explosive atmospheres

The Entel DT885M is a professional walkie-talkie from the DTEx Marine series, developed to maintain communications in demanding maritime and industrial environments.

It is certified to ATEX II 2G Ex ib IIB T4 Gb, allowing it to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres compatible with this classification and under the relevant safety conditions.

Its intrinsically safe design makes it an ideal solution for teams needing to communicate during operations at port facilities, on commercial vessels and in classified industrial environments.

UHF radio with analogue and digital operation

The unit operates in the UHF band from 450 to 470 MHz and supports both analogue and digital communication modes, facilitating its integration into various professional radio communication networks.

It offers a transmission power of 2 W ERP and allows channel spacing to be set to 6.25, 12.5 and 25 kHz.

The DTEx series supports 6.25 kHz digital communication and DMR. The manufacturer specifies that digital operation is approved for the marine UHF band and that the use of DMR depends on the vessel’s flag and the applicable regulations.

OLED display for quick channel identification

The high-contrast OLED display allows radio information to be viewed during daily operations, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Depending on the settings, it displays the channel number, its name or the frequency, helping the user to identify the selected communication.

The ergonomic controls and front-facing touch-sensitive buttons are designed to offer practical handling even when wearing work gloves.

Clear audio in noisy environments

The Entel DT885M incorporates noise reduction technology to improve the intelligibility of communications in areas where engines, machinery and other industrial equipment are in operation.

This feature facilitates the transmission of instructions and coordination between team members during operations.

IP68 protection and rugged construction

Its marine- and industrial-grade design is built to withstand demanding working conditions. The IP68 rating ensures resistance to submersion of up to 2 metres for 4 hours, according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

It also meets the shock and vibration resistance requirements associated with MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G.

Its operating temperature range is -20 °C to +40 °C, allowing it to be used in a variety of environmental conditions.

Battery life for long shifts

The smart lithium-ion battery provides a claimed battery life of up to 16.5 hours in analogue mode and 19.5 hours in digital mode, based on a 5/5/90 duty cycle.

This battery life makes it easier to plan long working days, although the actual battery life depends on the configuration and conditions of use.

Compatible accessories and simple programming

The unit features a multi-pin interface for accessories with a locking mechanism, designed to maintain a secure and robust connection during professional use.

Its accessory validation system helps to maintain intrinsic safety when connecting compatible devices.

The Entel PC programming application allows the radio’s settings to be updated via programming files, facilitating maintenance tasks even whilst on board.

Use cases and compatibility

The Entel DT885M is suitable for commercial vessels, port operations, industrial maintenance and ATEX IIB-classified work environments.

It is compatible with analogue and digital UHF radio networks that use the frequencies and modes supported by the equipment, provided that the applicable authorisations are met.

It can be used in conjunction with approved Entel DTEx accessories, including handheld microphones, headsets and communication solutions for demanding environments. The selection of accessories must comply with the safety requirements of the installation.
