Specifications

This revolutionary new function is a result of the information collected from seamen, who informed us
that in some critical situations they had had problems hearing what the other party was saying. By the
Replay function the user can press the button and the communication is repeated.
During our tests some captains have found new ways of using this function. From time to time, the
operator may have to leave the bridge in the harbour, and by that they may miss calls. They can now use
the Replay button to get updated on the latest call. As one captain on a tug boat said: “I might leave the
bridge for an hour for lunch in harbour, and when I return I can check the Replay to see if somebody
have asked for our support”.
3.5 Handset - HS5001
One of the new handset HS5001 (included with the
RT5022) can be connected directly to the VHF. The
HS5001 is specially designed for the harsh
environment at sea. The design has taken the
“feeling” of holding and operating the handset
into account. The edges are rounded off to make it
comfortable to hold, The PTT switch is placed
centrally in the handset in order to make it feel
natural to activate the switch when the operator
wants to communicate.
The curvature of the handset is designed to suit the typical head contour making it comfortable and
natural to operate. The earpiece is designed to make it fit the ear in order to reduce the noise from
outside factors. The handset is designed to reduce outside factor noise in the microphone - especially
wind that often can create an unpleasant noise during transmission.
Exposed equipment and IP66
The HS5001 is designed for and tested as “exposed equipment”, which includes water resistance
according to IP66. This test simulates the effects of rain, sea spray and light breaking seas on equipment.
The test shall be carried out by spraying the equipment from all practical directions with a stream of
water from a 12.5mm nuzzle and applying a 100l/min water level from a distance of 3 metre’s. Test
duration is approximately 30 minutes. After the test a performance check on the equipment is performed.
A test for damage and unwanted water ingress is performed. Due to the pressure of water the IPX6 test
is much tougher to comply with than IPX7, and is much thus more. This is why the HS5001 and the
CU5000 have been designed, tested and approved to according to IP66.
The HS5001 provides integrated spiral cord connecting to the RT5022 through a 9-pole Sub-D plug. The
cradle supplied with the handset is rugged and ensures that the handset can be mounted in any angle,
and a solid grip is necessary to lift the handset from the cradle.
