AMR Presents the Mine Net Messenger for 2009 2-Way Communication Compliance
09 January 2008
Now you can have one mine monitoring system (over fiber or copper) for gas/belt/circuit breaker monitoring, tagging/tracking, and mine-wide two-way communications! The latest addition to the Mine Net System, the Mine Net Messenger meets and surpasses the MINER Act's 2009 requirements and is an intrinsically safe two-way communication text-messaging device. However, the Messenger can do so much more!
Miners and operators can easily compose, send, receive and save messages (with over 120 characters, symbols and mine abbreviations) with this universal intelligent handheld RF device. In addition, safety procedures, operational checklists, critical health information, contact information, and mine maps and directions can all be saved in the Messenger and updated as needed. Each Messenger also has an audible alarm to indicate position and can be used to find other Messengers/Tags where no Smart Readers have coverage. Another advantage the Messenger has is the ability to select a destination to which to send the message, e.g. send text to the base/tracking station, an individual address, or broadcast to all personnel with emergency and non-emergency codes built in.
Additional features of the Messenger include:
- Small, light-weight, and durable
- Graphical multi-function display
- Illuminated select buttons/easy menu
- Dynamic beep alert/ringer
- Optional infrared port, carry pouch, boot pack
- Rechargeable NiMH Batteries
- Programmable memory
- Flashlight white/green LED
- High power transceiver
- Optional instant recharge boost
AMR is committed to providing the mining industry with reliable and flexible products that focus on mine safety and enhanced productivity.
