Follow on Google News | Challenges to Radio Repeater Cable Connections in Hazardous Areas Overcome with InstrumEx ConnectorsFern Communications, manufacturers of the FRX1 radio signal repeater, has overcome problems of connecting their instrument in harsh and explosive environments with InstrumEx connectors from Hawke International.
By: Hawke International “There are many instrumentation manufacturer’ “Workers in confined spaces are often shielded from radio signals, giving rise to health and safety concerns,” explained Clive Cushion, Fern’s technical director. To overcome these operational problems and address the safety issues of potentially explosive environments in oil and gas industries, we developed the portable FRX1 repeater,” Clive continued. The FRX1 is a robust sealed unit that is light and easy to handle but tough enough to cope with extreme site conditions, including exposure to moisture, high salinity and potentially explosive gasses. The integrity of the enclosure and all its connections are vital so the marine grade aluminium body of the FRX1 is sealed to achieve IP66 classification. Hawke’ All connectors have heavy-duty, maintenance- Integral to the design of the connector is the Hawke cable gland, which contain a number of unique patented features for secure clamping of all wire armour and braided cable types. This is coupled with the sealing and explosion protection reliability expected from Hawke connection products in hazardous areas.
