Equipment for installation in a mine susceptible to firedamp, having a "high" level of
protection, which has sufficient security that it is unlikely to become a source of ignition in
normal operation or during expected malfunctions in the time span between there being an
outbreak of gas and the equipment being de-energized.
This certification indicates compliance with R10.1 of the Mines Health and Safety Act and/or EMR 8(1) of the
Occupational Health and Safety Act, provided that the apparatus is used as prescribed in accordance with:
1) Any conditions set out in this Certificate;
2) This certificate only covers equipment imported between the “Issued” and “Expiry” dates;
3) When the supporting Q.A.N. (Quality Assurance Notification) of the equipment manufacturer expires,
it is the responsibility of the applicant (as mentioned above) to submit a valid Q.A.N to MTEx
Laboratories.
4) The test results presented in this Ex Test Report relate only to the item or product tested.
1. OVERVIEW
Equipment and systems covered by this Certificate are as follows:
The intrinsically safe, multifunctional and rugged industrial smartphone IS530.M1 has been
designed for use in mines susceptible to firedamp. It provides numerous technologies like
4G (LTE), NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE.
The IS530.M is equipped with an Android operating system, large internal memory,
amplified loudspeaker, replaceable battery pack and functional 13-pin ISM interface.
2. ELECTRICAL/ AND SAFETY PARAMETERS
Power supply:
The smartphone may only be used with the approved, intrinsically safe battery pack
BPIS530.M1 made by i.safe MOBILE GmbH.
LiPo battery Uo = 3.8 V (Uo_max = 4.35 V) / 3.6 Ah / 13.68 Wh
It is permissible to charge the battery pack alone outside the device via an approved
charging adapter.
Interfaces:
The device has a lateral magnetic charging port with which it can be charged outside
hazardous areas via an approved charging adapter. The contacts are intrinsically safe for
gas and dust.
Furthermore, the device has an USB interface (type C) for charging and data transmission
outside hazardous areas. It is not permitted to open the USB interface cover in hazardous
areas.
The ISM interface of the IS530.M1 can be used within hazardous areas with approved
headsets, Remote Speaker Microphones (RSM) and add-ons, making the smartphone a
multifunctional equipment for industrial applications. For ISM interface use, the i.safe
MOBILE headset IS-HS1.1 or approved, intrinsically safe accessories may be used, which
comply with the entity parameters of the ISM interface according to document 1029AD04. If
the ISM interface is not used, it must be securely closed by the cover provided for this
purpose.
