normal operation, during expected malfunctions or during rare malfunctions, even when left
energized in the presence of an outbreak of gas.
Mb
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.

1. OVERVIEW
Equipment and systems covered by this Certificate are as follows:
The intrinsically safe and rugged, industrial tablet IS930.M1 has been designed for use in
mines susceptible to firedamp. The IS930.M1 provides numerous technologies like 4G
(LTE), NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE. Equipped with an Android operating system,
amplified loudspeaker and option keys, which allows the allocation of user specific
functions or applications.
2. ELECTRICAL/ AND SAFETY PARAMETERS
Supply: The tablet IS930.M1 has a fixed installed rechargeable Li-Ion battery Uo = 3.8 V
(Uo_max = 4.2 V).
Interfaces: The opening of the interface covers in explosive atmospheres is not permitted.
Wired data connection and charging is only allowed outside ex-hazardous areas.
Um = 5.88 V, this is ensured by using the Docking Station DS930.1, the i.safe
PROTECTOR cables or other accessories specified by i.safe MOBILE GmbH. A list of
approved accessories can be found at www.isafe-mobile.com.
A commercially available SD card may be used in the corresponding slot in the hazardous
area. The internal electrical capacity of the SD card is negligible
