SAFETY INFORMATION

Repair

A repair constitutes something done internally to the radio that would bring it back to its original
condition. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a radio
which does not require the outer casing of the radio to be opened in a manner which exposes the
internal electrical circuits of the radio.

Repairs of Motorola ATEX/IECEx certified intrinsically safe radios must be carried out ONLY

by Motorola I.S. trained personnel, who are aware of the special parts required and the

procedures necessary to maintain the ATEX/IECEx conformance of the product. The

Motorola internal service centres undergo regular training and receive a Motorola internal

certification that enables them to conduct ATEX repairs.

Service personnel doing ATEX repairs have to have a mandatory annual ATEX/IECEx

awareness training.

The participation in the ATEX/IECEx awareness training plus a detailed product training

certifies the person to conduct ATEX/IECEx repairs.

The training records have to be kept for at least 10 Years.

For every ATEX/IECEx repair at the minimum the service centre must record: Customer

information, date of repair, serial number, date code and model number of the unit that

was repaired, technician’s name and ATEX training date as well as repair

information/parts replaced. These records have to be kept under record retention for at

least 10 Years after the repair was conducted.

When conducting repair work, the following must be observed:

If the radio has an IP6x protection, a vacuum leak test has to be conducted after the radio

is assembled. A confirmation that the leak test was conducted has to added to the repair

records.

It is essential that only original Motorola spare parts specifically listed for the particular

unit can be used for repair. Any other replacement parts are not allowed and may impair

the intrinsic safety of the unit.

If any of the items below are observed, the intrinsic safety of the unit may be impaired and

the customer must be informed about this. Text proposal:
