IRC - Intrinsically safe digital two-way radio
You can communicate wirelessly in underground mine workings, excavated tunnels, and industrial areas, and stop a machine with a single button if needed; the IRC two‑way radio operates in the UHF or VHF band, depending on the version.

// DESCRIPTION
What it is
The IRC intrinsically safe digital two‑way radio is a portable device for wireless communication in underground mines. You power it with a 2.7 Ah Ni‑MH battery, housed in an IP54‑rated enclosure, always with the leather holster required by the EC certificate.
You can choose the UHF (IRC/U/P) or VHF (IRC/V/P) version. When working with the IRC/*/MA or IRC/*/MC base station, the radio is equipped with an emergency stop function activated by a red button on the enclosure.
