When it comes to large operations you should get the best tools you can find for the job. In the case of the petro chemical industry you know you are handling precious commodities, petroleum and natural gas, and efficiency on the job is of prime importance. Intercoms are an essential tool when working with larger numbers of employees and when having to communicate amid the noisiness of heavy machinery.
Finding the ideal intercom includes looking for one that is durable and easy to hook up. The installation of any given intercom or intercom system is best if it is not too challenging, in the event repairs are needed, or, just so once the intercom device has been purchased there is no lengthy installation process necessary.
In the petro chemical industry you could choose from more than one type of intercom. You are possibly looking for user friendly resources for your company. Wireless intercom systems such as a MURS Commercial Wireless Intercom are a favorite. MURS intercoms make use of a Multi-Use Radio Service which was developed and cleared by the FCC and also requires no license to operate. The MURS service is within a special area of VHF radio frequencies, once more, that require no license.
For your petro chemical operation you want a commercial grade MURS. Designed to be mounted on either a wall with the included bracket, or, a desk, known as the RoveTec MURS Multi-Mile Long Range, this MURS intercom has two watt settings, one and two. Number one is for short distances and number two should be used with an antenna to achieve the greatest communication distances.
The RoveTec boasts the largest distance range of all commercial outdoor wireless intercom systems. The RoveTec has a choice of LCD with menu for changing settings or external switches. Underground lighting cable, such as the kind for landscaping, sporting a low-voltage, is what you need to hook your intercom to your power source. Base station intercoms and two-way radios will enable you to talk to the RoveTec. It will not be that difficult to equip your crew with either of these, the number of stations possible is only limited to the number of intercoms you choose to add to your network.
The RoveTec also incorporates an audio surveillance feature. Send a signal from your radio to activate this feature and your surveillance will be in transmit mode. The transmit mode lasts for fifteen seconds and relays the sound around the intercom back to you which allows you to complete the surveillance.
