FAQ
Common questions
Is the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 certified for Zone 1?
No. It is certified for Zone 2/22 only, so it can be used in Zone 2 but not in Zone 1.
Can the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 be used in Zone 0?
No. It is not certified for Zone 0. Zone 0 needs equipment with protection level Ga, such as Ex ia intrinsic safety.
What type of explosion protection does the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 use?
It is intrinsically safe: intrinsic safety (Ex ic). Intrinsic safety limits the electrical and thermal energy in the device below the level that could ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
What does T4 mean for the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2?
Its surface stays below 135 °C, so it is suitable for gases that only ignite above that temperature. Check the ignition temperature of the substances on your site.
Can you charge the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 in a hazardous area?
No. The certificate only allows charging outside the hazardous area.
What operating system does the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 run?
Android 8.
Is the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 still available?
No. i.safe MOBILE has moved it to the archive of its range.
How much does the i.safe MOBILE IS910.2 cost?
Prices for certified hazardous-area tablets depend on volume, configuration and region, so they are on request. Contact us for a price.
