Portable ESD using a VHF/UHF radio link
Description
Explosive envrionments, such offshore installations, require specific Motorola radio equipment to be intrinsically-safe or even ATEX certified to be used on the deck. This truly portable Emergency Shutdown (ESD) system is compatible with the DP48XX radios and operates within line of sight within a 2km range to Start, Stop or abort a transfer between the production facility FPSO or FLNG and the shuttle tanker.
