OUR PERSONAL COMBINATION:
SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE MODEL ULTRAPROBE 2000
ULTRASONIC INSPECTION SYSTEM FACTORY MUTUAL INTRINSICALLY
SAFE RATING EXPLANATION
The Ultraprobe 2000 is to be considered intrinsically safe for use in Class 1, Division 1, Groups A,
B, C, & D only when it has the appropriate "Factory Mutual System Approved" logo and label
affixed to the bottom rear panel of the instrument.
NOTE:
If the Ultraprobe 2000 has been modified to interface with a chart recorder, the Factory
Mutual approval does not apply. An intrinsically safe Ultraprobe 2000 is an instrument in which
any spark or thermal effect, produced either normally or in specified fault conditions, is incapable,
under the test conditions prescribed in article 500 of the national Electrical Code, NFPA-70 of
causing ignition of a specified mixture of flammable or combustible material in air.
There are a few necessary precautions to take, which will ensure that your instrument remains
intrinsically safe. The precautions are as follows: (1) Do not recharge the instrument (metered
pistol housing or warbling tone generator) in a hazardous location. (2) Substitution of any
components in the instrument will void the Factory Mutual Approval. (3) Only the UE BPA-1 or
BPA-2 battery pack can be utilized to power the instrument. This battery pack is in the pistol
handle and is changeable in the field. Check with factory for correct style pack before replacing.
NOTE:
Failure to comply with the above will void the intrinsically safe rating.
