VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER

ATEX Intrinsically Safe Marine RadioATEX Intrinsically Safe Type Approval he IC-M87 ATEX and designated options are certified to the ATEX
TDirective. It is suitable for use in hazardous areas where flammable gasses or liquids are used such as petroleum tankers and bulk cargo carrier.
The approved rating is II 2G Ex ib IIA T3 Gb.

Special conditions for use: Must be used with BP-227AX
When the transceiver is used in hazardous areas, either the jack cover or HM-138 mustbe attached to the connector. Ambient operating temperature: –20°C to +55°C

IPX7, Waterproof Construction
The IC-M87 ATEX is built tough to withstand hazardous and unhospitable environments at sea and on land. Even if the IC-M87 ATEX isdropped into water, the IPX7 waterproof construction will protect it fromharm (1 m depth for 30 minutes). The compact and durable body also has
been tested to US. military specifications (MIL-STD 810).

Li-ion Battery for Extra Long Battery Life
With the standard 1950 mAh (typ.) rechargeable Li-ion battery pack,BP-227AX, the IC-M87 ATEX allows you up to 19 hours of operating time.** Typical operation; Tx: Rx: Stand-by duty ratio = 5: 5: 90

22 Programmable Channels for PMR Use
The IC-M87 ATEX has 22 programmable channels for PMR use (146–174 MHz). Wide/narrow channel spacing is programmable for each channel, and CTCSS and DTCS signaling is built-in.
*Appropriate license will be required.

Built-in Voice Scrambler
The IC-M87 ATEX has a built-in 32 code voice scrambler. The voice
scramble is compatible with the UT-112 which is adopted to some Icom
marine radios.

Optional Waterproof Speaker-Microphone, HM-138
An optional waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-138, provides reliable
operation, allowing you to wear the IC-M87 ATEX on your belt foradded portable convenience.

Photo includes optional speaker-microphone, HM-138.
