Entel bolsters its proven intrinsically safe marine radio offering with a UL913* certified (non-European) range

Posted on May 31, 2022

Entel expands its proven range of compact DX radios to the non-European, Maritime Intrinsically Safe market with its competitively priced, EN60945 & UL913 certified, DX-IS series radios.

Entel’s extensive knowledge and experience in the Maritime Intrinsically Safe market ensures the DX-IS radios deliver the very best in performance, ruggedness, reliability, features and value for money.

Based on the highly popular and successful DX400 range; the DX-IS models deliver crystal-clear audio (that is up-to 50% louder than our competitors) and exceptional range – all in a compact and easy to use design.

Key features and benefits:

Compact Industrial-grade design
Marine VHF or UHF, display & non-display models
Meets the essential EN60945 Maritime Approval
Compact Marine commercial-grade design
Digital mode (UHF models only) & Analogue mode of operation
Loud and clear audio – ideal for high noise environments such as those experienced at sea
Up-to 22-hours operation from a single charge
IP68 – industry-leading submersible rating of 2 meters for 4 hours
High-torque ergonomic controls and ultra-tactile buttons – ideal for gloved hand use
MIL-STD 810 construction for assured ruggedness
Gold-plated battery & accessory connectors, salt water resistant chassis with battery galvanic protection to prevent corrosion build up
High visibility OLED display delivers superior readability in varying light conditions
End-User firmware update & programming app – update / re-program your Entel radios on-board with the simple drag and drop PC app
An extensive range of certified accessories to ensure system integrity

All aspects of the DX-IS Series have been meticulously designed to help the user – everything from operating in high-noise environments, extreme temperatures, varying light conditions, poor visibility and the damaging effects of corrosive sea water, through to heavy-handed and gloved-hand use.

The DX-IX Series’ programmable voice annunciation feature is an additional benefit, announcing the Marine channel number, e.g. 10, 16, 77… or the switch position, e.g. 1, 2, 3… etc. This is a particularly helpful feature on non-display models, as it provides assurance the correct channel has been selected, allowing operators to focus on the task in hand.

The UHF DX-IS radios offer both DMR digital and Analogue modes of operation. The analogue mode allows for backwards compatibility with any existing analogue radios on board as well as a simple migration path to the benefits of digital communications.

Entel’s free, user-friendly, reprograming PC App is another key feature. It allows anyone to easily re-program or update their DX-IS radios whilst still on-board. This unique, simple-to-use PC app enables non-technical personnel to effortlessly drag and drop a new programming file from an email and program it into a DX-IS radio.

Each radio is supplied as standard with a high capacity Li-Ion battery pack, drop-in rapid charger, belt clip, high-efficiency antenna and quick-start user guide.

Model variants available:

VHF
DX542-IS UL913 approved (VHF Non Display Analogue)
DX544-IS UL913 approved (VHF with Display Analogue)

UHF
DX582M-IS UL913 approved (UHF non Display Digital and Analogue)
