Vertex two way radios are powerful and built for durability. The Vertex VX-427 radio is Intrinsically Safe (IS), offering the best protection in a volatile, hazardous chemical or gaseous atmosphere. The Vertex VX427 also offers 5 watts of transmit power, support for 16 channels and 6 programmable function keys. Channel scan and monitor functions are also supported. These professional radios offer a great value and provide a high level of performance and reliability in dangerous environments.

The Vertex VX 427 is designed for safe operation in explosive atmospheres. The VX-427 is Intrinsically Safe which ensures that the electrical and thermal energy of the radio is low enough that ignition of the hazardous atmosphere cannot occur. Other two-way radios contain equipment that can create internal tiny sparks and such sparks can ignite flammable substances present in the air. The VX-427 meets the requirement set forth in ANSI/UL 913 6th Edition for Class 1, Division 1, Groups A-D; Class II, Groups E-G; and Class III for hazardous locations.

The VX-427 comes equipped with a 8-character LCD screen, 4 extra function keys and 16 built in DTMF keypad. The 6 function keys can be customized via programming to meet your communications/network requirements. The VX-427 requires frequencies to be programmed prior to shipment. If specific frequencies are not requested, the VX-427 will be programmed with frequencies comparable to the Motorola RDU 4100/4160. Place your specific frequencies or functions request in the Comments field and we will program your radio prior to shipment.

The VX-427 comes standard with an intrinsically safe 7.2 V 1100mAh Nickel-Cadmium battery. A rapid battery charger also comes standard with the VX-427.

Need headsets or extra chargers? A full line of accessories are available for Vertex radios, including: rapid chargers, high capacity batteries, shoulder mics, and option boards.

The VX-427 is equipped with an option port that expands the versatility of the radio. Functions such as simple inversion or rolling code encryption, DTMF paging decoder and Digital Voice Storage are only accessible through the installation of optional boards. For your convenience, expansion boards can be purchased through us.

The VX-427 UHF radio operates on UHF frequencies which is better suited for inside steel or concrete structures.
