Detailed description

ICOM IC-M85E er handbúinn VHF sendir/móttakari fyrir blandaðan notkun á sjó og landi. Hann er þéttur og hraustur og veitir fjölhæfa samskiptalausn fyrir kröfuharðar aðstæður.

Þétt bygging og staðfest hraustleiki

ICOM IC-M85E er þéttasti og léttasti handbúni VHF fyrir blandaða notkun á sjó og landi í atvinnugæðum samkvæmt Icom (desember 2021). Mælikvarðar hans eru 56 × 92 × 36,2 mm (án útskotta, með BP-294) og vegur 281 g (með BP-294, FA-SC58V og MBB-3). Hann er framleiddur samkvæmt IP67 staðli, sem tryggir vatnsheldni (sökkvun í 1 metra í 30 mínútur) og fullkomna vörn gegn ryki. Auk þess uppfyllir hann MIL-STD-810-G kröfur (með aðferðum 500.5, 501.5, 502.5, 503.5, 505.5, 506.5, 507.5, 509.5, 510.5, 512.5, 514.6, 516.6), sem tryggir aukin endingargetu gagnvart höggum, titringi og öfgahita (-25 °C til +55 °C).

Starfsemi fyrir bæði sjó og PMR

Auk alþjóðlegra VHF sjó-skurðarásanna (Tx: 156.000–161.450 MHz, Rx: 156.300–162.025 MHz) nær ICOM IC-M85E einnig yfir PMR (einkafarsíma) tíðnabilið 136.000 til 174.000 MHz. Hann styður við 100 PMR skurðarásir með 25/12.5 kHz bil, hver með CTCSS og DTCS tónstillingum fyrir örugg samskipti. Þessi blandaða geta gerir hann betri en hefðbundnar VHF fyrir sjó, svo sem Icom IC-M25 EURO, sem styðja ekki PMR tíðni, eða hrein PMR útvarp, sem skortir sjó-búnaðareiginleika. Útvarpsaflinn er stillanlegur á 5, 3 eða 1 W í báðum notkunarviðum, sjó og PMR, með 7.2 V DC spennu.

Öryggisauki og háa hljóðgæði

ICOM IC-M85E hefur þrjár nauðsynlegar neyðarvirkni: MOB (maður út af báti) viðvörun, "maður niður" (Man Down) og "einstaklingsvakt" (Lone Worker). Þegar einhver þessara virkna er virkjuð, sendir tækið sjálfkrafa neyðarviðvaranir. Til að tryggja skiljanlega samskipti hefur tækið 700 mW innra hljóðafl (10% aflögun við 12 Ω við 1 kHz) og 700 mW fyrir ytra hávaðara (10% aflögun við 8 Ω við 1 kHz), sem tryggir skiljanleika jafnvel í hávaðasömum aðstæðum.
