Confined space entry

The Con-space Intrinsically Safe Approved SR65i high-noise, in-suit, facemask communication system makes the use of handheld radios easy in both normal and extreme work conditions. With the SR65i, moving from a low noise into a high noise area or into an explosive environment while communicating is not a problem. Also, users need not change accessories when having to wear any type of facemask with breathing apparatus, encapsulated suits, or respirators. The system is rugged and comes equipped with a PTT switch that can be activated through bunker gear or Hazmat suits and other types of heavy protective clothing. There are optional remote PTT switches to allow virtual hands free radio communication and also a selection of speakers to cover a wide range of user applications.
