Antennas  

The use of radio communication in industrial environments is marked by different factors that affect the propagation of radio waves and influence their attenuation. In order to achieve a reliable radio link, we offer a broad range of antennas for radio remote controls, to adapt to each environment. 

IR Cells  

IR cells are additional infrared links for radio remote controls that can ensure that: 

  1. the operator stays within the working area 
  2. the right equipment has been selected 

Harnesses 

Harnesses and other carrying accessories are key for the operator to feel comfortable while controlling equipment with radio remote controls in potentially dangerous environments. Such comfort guarantees that the operator always has the radio remote control close. The weight of the radio remote control is also more evenly distributed, which leads to the ability of handling it easier and for longer periods of time without fatigue.

FAQ

How many functions do the Gama ATEX radio remote controls have?

Thanks to the display, it is possible to use up to 32 modes. Each mode allows addressing one function specific to the mode for each button. 

What accessories are available for Gama ATEX radio remote controls?

  • Battery charging 

There are 2 charging modes on Gama: 

  • Rugged industrial charger for transmitter, 
  • Rugged industrial charger for battery. 

Different operation scenarios can be provided depending if transmitters are handhold or in the charging station. 

 

  • Removable 2-point shoulder strap 

 

  • Labels kits

How does one integrate the receiver into an electric cabinet?

The receiver can either be wall-mounted or fixed into the electrical cabinet. Pay attention to installing the antenna outside the cabinet for proper signal propagation. 

Are stickers supplied with Gama ATEX radio remote controls?

Yes, several standard stickers are supplied as well as blank stickers for customizing. Some are to be stuck on the mobile equipment, e.g. a crane's beam, others to customize the transmitter itself. 

What is the maximal range?

The range will vary according to the environment conditions, the position of the reception antenna and the orientation of the transmitter (the range will be lower in the event of metal obstacles such as: frameworks, partitions, enclosures, etc.).  

  • 100 m in industrial environment 
  • 300 m in open space  
  • 80 m – 300 m band 2.4 GHz in industrial environment  
  • 800 m – 2 Km band 2.4 GHz in open space 

Who configurates Gama ATEX radio remote controls?

Gama ATEX can be configurated by its free accessible programing software iDialog. Either our programming team can undertake the configuration, or the user himself. 

How long does the Gama ATEX radio remote controls warranty run?

Gama ATEX radio remote controls are warranted for 2 years from production date (indicated on product), excluding wear parts. For the battery, the warranty period is limited to 1 year. 

Are proportional buttons available for Gama ATEX?

Using proportional buttons would lead to tricky ergonomics, it is recommended to use joysticks for that kind of operation. Please refer to our Pika ATEX & Moka ATEX series.
