The MC-3000 Ex and MC-3-6 Ex radio remote controls provide secure and flexible control for a vast range of machinery. In addition to including similar features common to standard radio remote controls (RRCs), these units can also be adapted to use cable control. These systems provide users with an extra guarantee against shutdown if other communication links fail.
Both systems can be delivered with simplex or duplex communication. The duplex communication option allows operators to receive messages, such as alarms and status indications, via LEDs, control display and indicator instruments.
Base units can be delivered with a serial interface for the most common bus standards on the market today. On request, these systems can be delivered without explosion proof and increased safety encapsulation. The battery used in the terminal is intrinsically safe, meaning batteries can be changed in explosive areas.
Typical applications for these radio remote controls are offshore oil and gas equipment, mining applications and maritime cranes and winches.
