Motorola MOTOTRBO ISR7 UHF Capable Two-Way Radio, Full Keypad, Intrinsically Safe Battery

Motorola MOTOTRBO R7 UHF capable portable two-way radio, full keypad, supplied with an intrinsically safe battery.

Who it is for

The MOTOTRBO R7 is Motorola's rugged digital portable for sites where a radio is normally hard to hear: Motorola quotes 102 phons of loudness out of the box, an extra loud profile at 107 phons, adaptive dual-microphone noise suppression for machinery and stadium noise, and feedback suppression for users standing close together. The housing is sealed to IP66 and IP68 and was designed to resist disinfectants and decontamination substances, which is why CMI lists it for hospital and medical-center teams as well as warehouses, logistics and operations. This is the UHF model, which suits buildings and built-up sites; it has a full keypad, for users who enter contacts or text. Read UHF vs VHF two-way radios if the band choice is still open, and analog vs digital two-way radios if digital radio is new to the site. It is supplied with the high-capacity battery.

Hazardous-location rating

Motorola's R7 brochure states that R7 radios are available with approvals to UL TIA-4950, so you can use them in corresponding explosive environments without the risk of ignition or fire. The brochure gives no class, division or group, so the label on the radio and battery is the authority for the exact approval; this configuration is supplied with an intrinsically safe battery, and the rating holds only with the approved battery and accessories fitted. Confirm the complete approved configuration with CMI before you order.
