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.
