Frequently asked questions
What does it mean that the DGP8550EX is intrinsically safe?
It means that the DGP8550EX is certified (ATEX/INMETRO) to operate in potentially explosive atmospheres (with gas, combustible dust, or in mining) without generating sparks or heat capable of causing ignition.
Is the DGP8550EX approved for areas with gas and dust?
Yes. The DGP8550EX has ATEX/INMETRO certification as intrinsically safe, approved for areas with flammable gas, combustible dust, and mining.
What is the power of the DGP8550EX?
The RF output is 1 W, limited precisely by intrinsic safety requirements (the EX version prioritizes safety in hazardous areas).
