What is the difference between a regular walkie talkie and explosion-proof radio ?

The appearance of wireless explosion-proof walkie talkies is not different from that of ordinary walkie talkies, but there are significant differences in the materials and physical characteristics used compared to ordinary models. The wireless explosion-proof walkie talkie has passed the testing certification of the American Explosion Protection Research Council (FMRC) and can be used in hazardous situations.

The explosion-proof certification mark (FM) is affixed to the bottom of the explosion-proof walkie talkie, indicating that the explosion-proof walkie talkie has passed the explosion-proof certification. The explosion-proof sign will indicate the hazardous environment level that the walkie talkie can use, the battery number of the necessary explosion-proof walkie talkie, the user manual number, and the applicable temperature code. As long as it is used strictly within the prescribed scope, safety can be ensured. Explosion proof signs must be affixed after inspection before the product is shipped from the Motorola manufacturing plant. It is absolutely prohibited to upgrade to explosion-proof products and affix explosion-proof signs in other locations

What kind of occasions require the use of explosion-proof walkie talkies?

All usage sites for explosion-proof walkie talkies include: production, transportation, and storage sites for fuel or chemicals, chemical plants, oil tanker warehouses, places with large amounts of fine sand and dust in the air, flour processing plants, linen processing plants, mechanical processing workshops, and coal processing sites. In the above environment, in order to ensure normal work and improve work efficiency, it is still necessary to use walkie talkies as necessary communication tools. At this time, explosion-proof walkie talkies should be used.

What precautions should be taken when using explosion-proof walkie talkies in hazardous environments?

Do not use walkie talkies that have not been certified by explosion-proof testing institutions in any hazardous atmosphere, as they are highly likely to cause explosions or fires. Even products certified by explosion-proof testing agencies must not be used in hazardous atmospheres if they are physically damaged (such as damaged shells), as they can easily cause explosions or fires.

Do not replace batteries and other accessories in hazardous environments. Contact sparks generated during disassembly and assembly can cause explosions or fires. Even products certified by explosion-proof testing agencies must not expose accessory connectors when used in hazardous atmospheres. When accessory connectors are not needed, they should be tightly covered with dust covers. Do not disassemble products certified by explosion-proof testing agencies in any way. Modifying the walkie talkie opportunity to change the original design structure of the walkie talkie hardware.

Only the original manufacturer of the product can modify it in a production site certified by an explosion-proof testing agency. Unauthorized modifications will result in the expiration of the explosion-proof certification for this product.
