iSOLATE500 Intrinsically Safe RF Isolator RF galvanic isolator ensures any standard RF hardware antenna outputs are protected by intrinsic safety concept aI (M1) [Ex ia Ma] I AIS Class I, II & III Division 1, Groups A-G, Class I, Zone 0, Group IIC The iSOLATE500 is an ATEX/IECEx and FM approved RF galvanic isolator. Its unique design galvanically isolates circuits in the hazardous area from potentially incendive faults using the intrinsic safety concept. This concept gives users the flexibility to safely implement industry standard wireless solutions in hazardous areas. Now users can deploy the vast majority of wireless radio equipment in hazardous areas without the need to undergo costly assessment by notified bodies for conformity to the latest ATEX and IECEx standards. The iSOLATE500 is available in four variants for frequencies 5000MHz, 2400MHz, 900MHz and dual band WiFi (2400MHz & 5000MHz). The unique design of the iSOLATE500 means that it has the best possible protection against dangerous transients and makes deploying wireless networks a more simple and cost-effective proposition. The unit is designed with a narrow pass-band which suppresses hazardous transients passing through the isolator to a safe level. The galvanically isolated RF output of the iSOLATE500 allows users to choose any antenna for use with their wireless hardware e.g. Extronics iANT200 range of high quality rugged outdoor antennas. Any antennas not listed in the Extronics range must be assessed by the user to ensure they meet the requirements for installation of non-electrical equipment in hazardous areas. Specification Certification Type AII (1) GD [Ex ia Ga] IIC, [Ex ia Da] IIIC AI (M1) [Ex ia Ma] I AIS Class I, II & III Division 1, Groups A-G Galvanically Isolated Outputs Provides galvanically isolated RF outputs for standard wireless radio equipment. Small Compact Design Easy installation of multiple isolators is achieved due to their compact and lightweight design, and versatile mounting options. Extended Temperature Range Operating temperature range of -60°C to +80°C for the most extreme environments.

Ambient temperature: -60ºC to +80ºC Relative humidity; 0 to 95%, non condensing Multiple Frequency Isolators Currently available in four different variants for frequencies 5GHz, 2.4GHz, 900MHz and dual band WiFi. Insertion Loss Return Loss (typical) Please note it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the maximum values for RF Threshold power as per Table 4.0 of IEC 60079-0: 2011 are not exceeded. The maximum RF output of the wireless transmitter and antenna gain must be taken into account when installing equipment. Refer to manual for full details.

Typical Deployment of iSOLATE500 A - When deployed in either a safe area or an Exd enclosure, the iSOLATE500 makes any RF output intrinsically safe from all known faults; AC, DC & hazardous transients. B - Any wireless radio device can be deployed. Check device datasheet to ensure RF output is within acceptable limits. No notified body assessment required C - The iSOLATE-CT N type RF connector transit makes installation simple - no need for glands - use standard tools - live connect & disconnect of antennas. D - Allows a wide choice of antennas to be used without notified body assessment....
