HX400S vs. HX400IS — Which Do You Need?
The HX400S and HX400IS share the same dual-band platform. The key difference is that the HX400IS carries intrinsic safety (IS) certification for use in hazardous environments where explosive gases or vapors may be present. If your application requires IS certification — such as offshore oil and gas, marine terminals, or regulated industrial environments — choose the HX400IS. For all other commercial marine and fleet applications, the HX400S is the correct choice.
