The Field Power Unit, with the intrinsically safe DC/DC PSD1004 power supply, located in the proximity of the transponder equipment. The safe area equipment: The Phoenix QUINT AC/DC power supply and the PSD1001C DC/DC barrier and power supply.

ATEX Certification and Unique ID

ATEX certification ATEX category 2 G product, gas group II B, temperature class T4, specified ambient temperature rating -20 °C to +60 °C. Unique ID The transponders are coded with unique IDs ensuring reliable identification and tracking of vessels in demanding environments. Several interrogators can approach the same transponders, ensuring multi-user capabilities. Up to five transponders can be tracked simultaneously by the interrogator.
