More about Cenelec
Cenelec is an acronym for the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation. This committee is composed of representatives for each member State. Collectively they agree and adopt common Standards. The Motorola Radius GP900 has been designed to comply with the most stringent requirements for Intrinsically Safe equipment, which aims to ensure that the electrical or thermal energy available in a circuit is insufficient to ignite a potentially explosive mixture of gas and air under normal and specified fault conditions. Different gases require differing amounts of energy for ignition and are grouped accordingly. Radiated energy must be kept to a low level to minimise any risk of a spark; consequently, the RF output of the GP900 has been reduced to 1Watt.
The GP900 has the following certification code: EEx ib IIC T4, which is interpreted in the table below:
This shows the classification of a selection of gases and vapours into explosion groups and temperature classes.
I IIA T1 Methane Acetone Ethane Ethyl acetate Ammonia Benzene (pure) Acetic acid Carbon monoxide Methanol Propane Toluene Town gas (Coal gas) Hydrogen T2 Ethyl alcohol l-amyl acetate n-butane n-butyl alcohol T3 Benzine Diesel fuel Aircraft fuel Heating oil n-hexane T4 Acetaldehyde Ethyl ether T5 T6
IIB IIC
Ethylene Acetylene
Carbon disulphide
Ethyl nitrate
A higher T class automatically covers gases in lower T class groups. In addition: IIB also covers IIA IIC also covers IIB and IIA
GP900 Cenelec Approval
Motorolas European Factory in Dublin, Eire and the Engineering Design Group in Basingstoke have been approved by EECS, an Internationally Accredited Body, to ensure that Intrinsically Safe radios are manufactured in compliance with the Standard and Certification requirements.
GP900 Cenelec: Approved Accessories
The Cenelec standard also regulates the use of accessories in hazardous environments. These accessories are subject to approval, and must be approved with the radio. Your Authorised Motorola Dealer will be pleased to give you details of these specially designed accessories.
Batteries
Batteries are also subject to the stringent Cenelec regulations. Your Authorised Motorola Dealer will ensure that you have the right battery for your Cenelec two way radio. Use of non-approved batteries and accessories will invalidate the Cenelec certification and could remove the safety factors designed to prevent an explosion.
Service and Repair
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that whoever repairs or services the radio is authorised to do so. For a list of Cenelec approved Motorola Service Centres in your area please see back page.
When safety isnt an option
Cenelec Approved to exacting European Safety Standards
The GP900 Cenelec two way radio is approved to exacting European Safety Standards, which place unparalleled emphasis on the provision of increased safety and control to all users. The GP900 Cenelec radio offers many user-friendly features and benefits: Multicall Address Selection Can contact your staff either individually or in pre-defined groups Privacy Call Mode Enables you to keep control over your communication channels Vox Leaves your hands free for essential work Programmable Channel Spacing Helps guard against future changes in specification One of the most important features the GP900 offers is Emergency Call Mode Emergency Call Mode With a simple press of a button an emergency call can be activated. This transmits an emergency message and warning tone to other users. The radio can also be programmed to perform a cycle of Transmit and Receive functions automatically. If the user is unable to operate the radio during an emergency the sound from the local area will be transmitted back to base automatically and messages from base will be heard during receive. The duration of the emergency button press is also programmable to minimise the risk of accidentally starting the emergency cycle.
