Planar-B2 Ex
The Planar-B2 Ex offers all the advantages of the Planar-B and can be used without any problems in offshore areas in zones 1 and 2 areas with a gas explosion hazard.
- Extremely flat and lightweight
- Integrated monochrome display
- Optional: power supply via 3.6 V NBB rechargeable battery
Description
The Planar-B Ex explosion-proof safety radio control can be used in zones 1 and 2 areas where there is a risk of gas explosion. This makes it the perfect transmitter in offshore areas and on oil platforms, for example.
Due to its compact design and low weight, the Planar-B2 Ex fits in any breast pocket or trouser pocket. Thanks to the integration of 6 two-stage and 4 one-stage buttons, many functions can still be covered and the transmitter can be used in a variety of ways. A monochrome display is also integrated in the Planar-B2 Ex for visualising the machine feedback.
The Planar-B2 Ex is powered by the 3.6 V battery developed by NBB. This allows the transmitter to operate for up to 40 hours on a single charge.
Optionally, the LBT technology (Listen Before Talk) can be integrated into the Planar-B2 Ex. This technology ensures that when the transmitter is switched on or when the frequency is changed, it is checked whether the selected frequency channel is already occupied by other transmitters. If this is the case, the next channel is checked until it is certain that the channel is free and the transmitter can operate without interference.
Technologies

Multi-user system
The multi-user system enables radio communication between several transmitters and several receivers. Each transmitter can be optionally operated with several receivers at a workplace and / or vice versa. Provided that this connection is not otherwise used at this moment. [More information]

NBB battery system
Nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH) have a high energy density. The contacts have a self-cleaning design. The NBB battery pack is charged with a high charge current with a NBB charger. This quick charge is thermally controlled to optimize recharging and prevent overcharging. [More information]

LBT frequency search
When switching on or when switching the frequency, a check is carried out to determine whether the used frequency channel is reserved by another transmitter. If this is the case, the next frequency channel is checked until it is ensured that the transmitter can operate without disturbance. LBT is shortcut for Listen before Talk. [More information]

Data reporting
Visual representation of Operating Range, Transmission signal strength, Status of the machine function and Customer-specific information as well as logos supplemented by acoustic feedback (buzzer can be activated). [More information]

IECEx/ATEX
If transmitters are to be used in potentially explosive environments, appropriate technical precautions must be taken. The Planar-B1 and -B2 EX transmitters have been specially developed and certified for such applications. [More information]
