3M Peltor WS LiteCom Pro III ATEX Headset (Headband)
If you are working in potentially explosive environments like oil rigs or underground mines, staying connected without compromising safety is your top priority. The 3M PELTOR WS LiteCom Pro III EX Headset is engineered specifically for these hazardous conditions, offering a seamless blend of high-level hearing protection and advanced communication technology.
Is this headset suitable for hazardous and explosive environments?
Yes, absolutely. This ATEX version is intrinsically safe and approved for use in potentially explosive environments in accordance with the ATEX directive and the IECEx scheme. It is specifically designed for industries such as oil and gas, underground mining, and any sector where intrinsic safety products are a strict requirement.
What communication features does the LiteCom Pro III offer?
This headset features a built-in programmable two-way radio that supports both analog and DMR digital transmission on UHF frequencies (403-470 MHz). You can program up to 70 unique radio channels to match your existing system. It also includes Bluetooth Multipoint Connectivity, allowing you to seamlessly connect to external mobile devices, and supports direct headset-to-headset communication. For hands-free operation in high-noise areas, it utilizes Voice Operated Transmission (VOX) alongside an IP68-rated noise-cancelling waterproof speech microphone. If you ever need a replacement microphone, the Peltor MT7N-02 Boom Microphone is fully compatible.
How does it protect my hearing while keeping me aware of my surroundings?
The headset provides robust hearing protection for environments with hazardous noise levels. However, it also features level-dependent microphones for ambient listening. This means you can safely hear important environmental sounds, warning signals, and nearby conversations, drastically improving your situational awareness. A convenient "Push-to-Listen" function allows for quick activation of this ambient listening feature. If you have team members who only require passive hearing protection without the built-in radio, you might consider equipping them with the 3M Peltor X2A Ear Defenders.
