Jay Electronique Safir radio remote control range with IECEx

The Safir range of radio remote controls from Jay Electronique has gained IECEx approvals on the Moka handheld control and the Alto transceiver. This now allows the range to be used in potentially explosive gas atmospheres classified zone 0, 1, 2, or dust classified zones 20, 21, 22. They can also be used in mining applications requiring the IECEx certification.

The new models inherit all existing features of the Safir family such as a backlit, anti-reflection LCD which is able to indicate the battery-charge level, the behaviour of the radio link, the name of the equipment being controlled remotely and feedback from the equipment such as weight of load, overload, limit switches, alarms or fault diagnostics.

Other safety features include the emergency stop function certified SIL 3 per EN 61508 or PLe per EN 13849, as well as the standard function buttons certified to SIL2 according to EN61508 or PLd according to EN13849.
