Intrinsically safe (IS) and Factory Mutual (FM) Two-Way Radios
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electronic equipment in explosive atmospheres and under irregular operating conditions.
The theory behind intrinsic safety is to ensure that the available electrical and thermal energy in the system is always low enough that ignition of the hazardous atmosphere cannot occur. Intrinsically Safe (IS) radio equipment - Also referred to as Factory Mutual (FM) radio equipment is used predominantly in the Mining and Petrochemical sectors, and in the Commercial, Industrial and manufacturing sectors whenever there is the risk of flame or explosion.
