Argus Power Talk Box System

The Argus Power Talk Box System from CON-SPACE is a portable intercom system designed to provide untethered, continuous two-way communication between, a Safety Attendant and the Confined Space Entrant/s in his/her care.

Both the Attendant and all Entrants remain untethered, communicating at each end through a Power Talk Box (PTB).

The Entrant PTB is a full duplex device with a microphone that picks up voice from 20 ft. or more, depending on background noise. The powered speaker is very loud and designed to be heard by entrants in medium noise to distances up to 30 ft. While the Attendant PTB has all the same qualities, its microphone does not remain open so that road noise etc. does not disturb Entrants, however, the Attendant can hear Entrants continuously. To speak with Entrants, the Attendant uses a Push To Talk (PTT) switch mounted on his/her PTB, which is also a Controller and contains the built in, loud sounding alert, that can be used by Entrants if voice contact cannot be made with the Attendant.

The PTB System was configured for quick deployment, to allow workers total freedom plus the major benefits offered by having good hands free communication during every entry. While using this equipment, employees will be safer and will become more efficient every time they use it. Getting a tool, or having the attendant read the check list will make the job faster and smoother. During inspections the Attendant can take notes outside the work area and the two can work better as a team. The PTB System can help workers who move from manhole to manhole every day, doing tasks that include installation, maintenance or inspection. It can also help Tower Crane operators, with crane to crane and crane to ground communication, or crews working on mobile Cherry Picker type operations. Having communication equipment could help make entries quicker and easier.

All equipment is waterproof, dust proof and extremely rugged for harsh use in rough environments. It also carries Intrinsic Safe Approvals in Canada, the USA and Europe, allowing it to be used in any explosive work area.
