MineWATCH - Model DIS 5 - Intrinsically Safe Communication System for Mining
The DIS 5 system is an ATEX M1 certified communication solution designed for mining environments, leveraging a four-core cable to facilitate communication and pre-start warnings across long distances. Powered by a 12-volt intrinsically safe supply, it accommodates multiple amplifiers. Each amplifier features a trickle-charged NiMH battery for standby power during mains outages. Components include a console amplifier, remote amplifiers, a pre-start warning generator, safety couplers, and a power supply. The console amplifier, in a robust metal case, supports local and surface communication and call tones. Remote amplifiers direct audio along mining paths with dual speakers. The system integrates into control frameworks, with options for combined units for coal face operations.
