System Description
Control unit – robust for field conditions
The control unit is the operator interface. It is very easily portable, and can be
carried with either hand- or shoulder-strap. Its injection-moulded housings are
purpose-designed to provide long-term field durability and effective protection under
realistic site conditions. It is environmentally rated to IP65.
The control unit has a membrane keypad, with push-key operation, and a backlit,
multifunction LCD display. It interfaces to the headphones, charger and microphone
via military-specification connectors.
