iSOLATE501

Intrinsically Safe RF Isolator

iSOLATE501

The iSOLATE501 is an ultra-wideband intrinsically safe RF isolator, designed for use in hazardous areas. It protects against dangerous transients, making RF outputs safe to use with simple apparatus antennas in hazardous locations. This high-performance solution supports a wide range of frequencies and is certified for use in ATEX and IECEx Zone 0, 20, 1, 21, 2, 22, and M1 mining environments.

Key Features

  • Safety Certifications: ATEX and IECEx certifications for Zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, and 22. US & Canada Class I, II Division 2; Class III, Division 1 & 2 certified.
  • Ultra-wide Frequency Band: Supports frequencies from 150 MHz to 8 GHz.
  • Compact and Lightweight: Weighing just 38g and measuring 57 x 28 x 13 mm, it is easy to install with SMA connectors.
  • Intrinsically Safe: Designed to ensure the highest level of safety in hazardous environments.
  • Easy Installation: Equipped with SMA connectors for easy installation and compatibility with Extronics iANT2xx antenna range.

Ultra-wide bandwidth 

In addition to covering 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi frequencies and the 900MHz ISM band, the ultra-wide 150MHz to 8GHz bandwidth of the iSOLATE501 can also be used in applications involving Marine VHF, 433MHz ISM, Tetra, and full GSM frequencies, for example. 

Intrinsically safe RF outputs 

The iSOLATE501 provides galvanic isolation to protect against dangerous transients, making most standard RF outputs intrinsically safe. That means you are no longer restricted to only using certified antennas in hazardous areas; instead, you can choose from a wider variety of non-certified antennas that meet the requirements for simple apparatus, such as the Extronics iANT2xx range of high quality and rugged outdoor antennas. 

Efficient deployment 

With standard SMA connectors, you can easily install your solution. Antennas with SMA connectors can be connected directly to the iSOLATE-501; we can provide accessories, including the iSOLATE-CT connector transit, for antennas with N type connections. The intrinsically safe RF outputs also mean that antennas can be hot swapped to maximise performance and minimise downtime. 

Highly compact 

The iSOLATE501 is small and lightweight, ideal for inclusion in a variety of different applications.
