- Digital DMR and analog
- Up to 1,024 channels and 64 zones
- IP67 per historical datasheet
Official status
Discontinued, no public date
Hytera Brazil includes PD79XEx in its list of discontinued products. The page should serve as a historical reference and support for assessing maintenance or replacement, without claiming current stock.
Configuration
Confirm the unit's label and code
The family had VHF and UHF variants and conditional features. Band, GPS, Man Down, trunking and applicable certification depend on the unit, programming, license and system.
How to assess a discontinued Hytera PD796Ex
The PD796Ex is a discontinued model. For the installed fleet, provide the unit’s full code, band, battery and certificate. IP67 is not equivalent to authorization for a classified area.
Essential restrictions: the family documentation advises against use in Zones 0 and 20, requires the BL1807-Ex battery for the indicated Ex condition and charging in a non-hazardous area. Selection depends on the technical person in charge and the applicable certificate.
Guidance for the installed fleet
Identification and programming
The VHF 136 to 174, UHF 350 to 400 and UHF 400 to 470 MHz bands are distinct physical versions. Preserve the programming file before changing channels, zones, contacts or groups. GPS, Man Down and integrations depend on a compatible configuration.
Battery and environment
The reference of up to 17 h in digital uses BL1807-Ex, without GPS, on the 5/5/90 cycle at high power. Volume, calls, temperature and care change the real duration. Respect the most restrictive limits of the radio, battery, certificate and local procedure.
Inspection and continuity
Check the label, seals, connectors, display, battery fit and repair history. Damage, an illegible marking or an unidentified part require assessment before returning to operation. Parts, support and any replacement depend on availability and a quote.
See the Hytera documentation for the ATEX line together with the specific manual and certificates.
Historical reference, not a stock offer
- Digital DMR and analog operation per the historical datasheet
- Up to 1,024 channels organized in 64 zones
- IP67 protection and construction for professional use
- Discontinued status requires confirming the unit, support and alternative
Identification before recommendation
ABC Mais Telecom can survey the existing unit, the channels used and the project requirements to guide maintenance or replacement.
Label and full code
Send a legible photo of the label and the full PD796Ex code to check the variant, band and documentation.
Network compatibility
The analysis considers channels, groups, infrastructure, the unit’s marking and compatibility with the existing fleet.
Specialized technical service
Specialized technical service can diagnose the unit and guide the next step according to its technical condition.
Unit certification
Suitability for a classified area requires checking the marking, certificate, installation and risk assessment. The manual prohibits use in Zones 0 and 20.
Accessories for the unit
BL1807-Ex, CH10A07 and EHN12-Ex appear in the family documentation. Confirm the variant, full code and authorization of the set before supply or use in a classified area.
Terms on request
Availability, warranty and commercial terms are not inferred for a discontinued product; each inquiry depends on the specific case.

Conditions that change by variant
The points below preserve the published conditions and separate family data, optional features and mandatory limits from the manual.
1,024 channels and 64 zones
The datasheet lists 1,024 channels and 64 zones. The number actually programmed may be lower.
VHF and UHF variants
The family was offered in VHF 136 to 174 MHz, UHF3 350 to 400 MHz or UHF 400 to 470 MHz. These are alternative variants, not simultaneous bands.

Applications and technical assessment
The PD796Ex may remain in professional fleets. Continued use must start from identifying the unit, the certificate and the project.
Professional use subject to the project
In oil and gas, refineries, pipelines or mining, selection requires a risk assessment, a compatible marking and validation by the technical person in charge.
Assessment steps
Identify the unit
Survey of PD796Ex units, recording label, band, code, battery and physical condition.
Map the current network
Assessment of channels, groups, infrastructure and compatibility with the network used by the team.
Assess replacement
Replacement analysis without naming a successor before knowing the certification, band and project requirements.
Validate the certification
Check of the certificate and marking when use involves a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Diagnose the equipment
Diagnostics of existing units to decide between maintenance, an approved accessory or migration.
Check accessories
Check of codes BL1807-Ex, CH10A07 and EHN12-Ex before any proposal.
Decision points
Unit band
The unit’s label defines the band and marking that must be considered.
Optional features
GPS and safety features must not be presumed without validating the variant, configuration and programming.
Discontinued product
The discontinued status requires a technical inquiry, without claiming stock, warranty or parts availability.
