ISpac isolators - 9224 safe isolation

Handling flammable and potentially explosive substances is part and parcel of everyday operations in manybranches of industry. However, it is not possible to do without the advantages of automation even in these sectors. Consequently, there must be a protection system to allow safe and, at the same time, efficient operation when using field devices such as sensors and actuators. Such a system can be achieved for instance by the use of type of protection intrinsic safety »i«.The modern ISpac isolator system from R.STAHL is the ideal »safety lock« between the safe electronic signals and the Exi signals in hazardous areas in such cases. ISpac allows integration of sensors and actuators located in Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2 besides dust explosion hazard Zone 20, Zone 21 and Zone 22. In addition ISpac can be applied for intrinsically safe circuits of Division 1 or 2. Consequently, R.STAHL’s ISpac fully covers all requirements made of an isolator used in hazardous areas.
