Communication devices shouldn’t ignite in industries with flammable materials. Almost all electronic devices generate sparks and heat. Sparks and heat can burn when they come into contact with flammable materials.
The intrinsic safety of Motorola radios in hazardous environments ensures the safety of workers and smooth operations for businesses.
WHY IS IT INTRINSICALLY SAFE?
Motorola radios are safe to use in hazardous environments since they do not generate sparks or heat. By using these devices, you can keep your work environment free of combustible materials.
Connecting your radio won’t put you at risk. The battery is completely encased in the housing of the radio so that the device remains cool.
HOW DOES INTRINSICALLY SAFE RADIO WORK?
For example, industries such as oil, gas & mining, manufacturing, utilities, and transportation & logistics may require intrinsically safe radios that can withstand dust, vapors, or flammable chemicals & glasses.
In addition to the automotive industry, Motorola’s intrinsically safe radios can also be applied to the following industries:
● Policing
● Fire & EMS
● Volunteer work for the public
● Refineries
● Fuel storage facilities
● Chemical-producing plants
● Elevators for grain
● Plants for processing plastics
● Mines in the ground
A class, division, or group that is intrinsically safe
In hazardous locations, parts where flammable liquids, gases, fibers, or dust can ignite make up the National Electrical Code.
A hazard can be classified into a category, division, or class.
Classes
Class I: Hazardous liquids, gases, or vapors
Class II: Flammable Dust
Class III: Fibers that fly and ignitable fibers
Divisions
Division 1 encompasses areas where there are continuously ignitable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust.
Generally, Division 2 is not used for igniting gases, vapors, liquids, or dust.
Groups
Class, I Gas Groups
Group A – Acetylene-containing gases and equivalents
Group B – Hydrogen-equivalent gases
Group C – Ethanol-equivalent gas groups
Group D – Methane-equivalent gases
Class II Dust Groups
Group E –
(Factories, recyclers) Debris from mechanical processes
Group F – Carbon dust (charcoal and coke) combustible- above ground only
Group G – Grain dust
Class III Fibers do not have subgroups

● Advanced application capabilities
The instructions for the headset are in the radio instructions.
1. Headsets should be transported without accessories to prevent damage. Before connecting the headset, it is advisable to turn the radio off.
● Once the connectors are in place, keep the threads loose to prevent any misalignment.
● Make sure the headset can receive and transmit on another radio. During this process, turn off the radio and ensure your contacts are lined up with the microphone.
2. CS has some old over-the-ear headsets that are suitable for use in noisy environments and transducing headsets that are suitable for noisy environments.
● It features an adjustable microphone and transducer, which can be placed behind the ears to fit any ear size.
● Maintain a distance of 1″-2″ between the mic and your mouth to improve your transmission. It’s a diffuser that reduces wind noise, so don’t remove the foam over the microphone.
● After you have finished talking, release the headset button.
● The headsets must be removed from the radios before you return to Customer Service.
Charging instructions
- The radios are fully charged when they are loaned out. Fully charged radios last for several days when not in use. It depends on how they are used how long radios last when on.
- For long-term use, CS can provide single and base chargers (6 radios).
- Make sure the radio has a green light before removing it from the charger. If you see an all-yellow or all-red light on your radio (not fully charged), check the cause.
● For any red or blinking red alerts, make sure the charger is firmly seated or use another charging cradle.
● Other problems may require a replacement battery. Return the radio to Customer Service for a replacement or battery swap.
