Intrinsically Safe Radio Information The Intrinsically Safe Approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an approval agency (for example FM, CSA) and certifies that a particular product meets the Agency's applicable Intrinsic Safety standards for specific types of hazardous classified locations. A portable radio that has been approved for Intrinsic Safety will have an Approval label attached to the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will be located on the portable radio unit. Intrinsically Safe Approval Label Intrinsically Safe Radio Information Operational Cautions for Intrinsically Safe Equipment • Do not operate radio communications ! equipment in hazardous environments unless it is a type especially qualified (e.g., FM/CSA Approved) for such use. An explosion or fire may result. • Do not operate an FM/CSA Approved Product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (e.g., cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result. • Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire. 111

Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
Intrinsically Safe Radio
Information
The Intrinsically Safe Approval unit refers to a
product that has been approved as intrinsically
safe by an approval agency (for example FM, CSA)
and certifies that a particular product meets the
Agency's applicable Intrinsic Safety standards for
specific types of hazardous classified locations. A
portable radio that has been approved for Intrinsic
Safety will have an Approval label attached to the
radio to identify the unit as being Approved for
specified hazardous atmospheres. This label
specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group
along with the part number of the battery that must
be used. The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will
be located on the portable radio unit.
Operational Cautions for Intrinsically
Safe Equipment
Intrinsically Safe Approval Label
Do not operate radio communications
equipment in hazardous environments
unless it is a type especially qualified
(e.g., FM/CSA Approved) for such use.
An explosion or fire may result.
Do not operate an FM/CSA Approved
Product in a hazardous atmosphere if it
has been physically damaged (e.g.,
cracked housing). An explosion or fire
may result.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking
may occur while installing or removing
batteries and cause an explosion or fire.
