119 General Information (cont.)
Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC) Information
Certain MTS 2000 radios and batteries have been declared intrinsically safe
by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC) of Norwood, Massachusetts, for
use in hazardous atmospheres. FMRC-approved radios are identified by attached
certification labels and by matching green dots found on the bottoms of the radios
and batteries. The intrinsically-safe rating by Factory Mutual Research Corporation
states that electrical equipment is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or
thermal energy, under normal or abnormal operating conditions, to cause ignition
of a specific hazardous atmosphere. This means that the MTS 2000 radio has
been thoroughly tested by FMRC and carries its certification for operation in the
hazardous atmospheres designated on the radio label. Radios must ship from
the Motorola factory with the hazardous atmosphere capability and cannot be
modified in the field. Failure to use the radio with the approved battery will negate
the approval. MTS 2000 radios that are approved by FMRC can be used in those
applications requiring reliable, two-way, hand-held radios in the listed specific
hazardous atmospheres. Motorola-approved equipment and accessories, along with
competitive equipment approvals, are listed in the yearly approval guide published by
Factory Mutual Research Corporation. This guide can be ordered from the following
