Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Intrinsically Safe" (IS) mean?
Intrinsically Safe (IS) equipment is designed so that it cannot produce enough electrical or thermal energy to ignite a flammable atmosphere under normal or fault conditions. The BL2020-Ex's UL913 and ib ⅢB Ex certifications confirm it meets these standards for use in classified hazardous locations such as oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and mining operations.
Is the BL2020-Ex compatible with standard (non-IS) Hytera PD radios?
No. The BL2020-Ex is specifically designed for the UL913-certified variants of the Hytera PD502i, PD562i, PD602i, PD662i, and PD682i. It is not intended for use with standard (non-IS) versions of these radios. Contact Atlantic Radio to confirm compatibility with your specific radio configuration.
What is the IP67 rating on the BL2020-Ex?
IP67 means the battery is fully dust-tight (6) and protected against water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes (7). This ensures reliable performance in wet, dusty, or outdoor field conditions.
How many charge cycles does the BL2020-Ex support?
The BL2020-Ex is rated for up to 500 charge cycles, providing excellent long-term value for fleet operations in hazardous environments.
