Wireless Antennas

ENABLE FULL WI-FI & CELLULAR COVERAGE IN HAZARDOUS AREAS AND EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

A wide selection of antennas to suit a variety of applications, radiation patterns and gain requirements while satisfying code for installations in hazardous classified locations.

For use with our hazardous area iWAP*** universal access point / mesh router enclosure systems, or where the wireless network hardware is to be installed in a general purpose location, the iANT200 Series antennas are ideal. These extremely rugged antennas may be connected to non-certified wireless transmitters through the iSOLATE501 RF barrier without requiring knowledge of the internal electronics or needing to make a fault analysis for the device.

The iANT200 Series intrinsically safe antennas are certified as “simple apparatus”, requiring no safety analysis when used with intrinsically safe access points or the iSOLATE501 RF barrier. Designs include omni-directional, sector, and directional to provide optimum coverage, bandwidth, and distance for the wireless network, combination arrays have vertical and cross polarization for MIMO configurations.

ISOLATE501 RF GALVANICALLY ISOLATED INTRINSIC SAFETY BARRIER

Render the R.F. output from regular wireless hardware intrinsically safe
Radios can be swapped out or upgraded without re-certification
Ultra-wide RF frequency band, 150MHz to 8GHz with minimal loss
ATEX & IECEx Zone 0 certified
MET Approved Class I II III, Division 1 & 2, Groups A-G; Class I, Zone 0, Group IIC
Compact, lightweight design for easy installation inside radio enclosures

The unique iSOLATE501 RF barrier is the latest product in the iSOLATE range of intrinsically safe RF isolators from Extronics. Replacing the hugely successful and widely installed iSOLATE500, the iSOLATE501 utilizes the same ground-breaking RF isolation technology packaged in an even more compact housing. Perhaps the most remarkable innovation is the ultra-wide frequency band to which the isolator is compatible with. A single variant is available which enables the use of the iSOLATE501 on RF outputs ranging from 150MHz to 8GHz with minimal losses. This allows for simple deployment in wireless systems utilizing the new dual-band Wi-Fi standards. It has been certified as ‘simple apparatus’ which enables it to be interfaced with any of the iANT200 Series antennas listed below without further examination. It may also be used with many generic antennas subject to assessment by Extronics Ltd. – contact us with details of the antenna you would like to use.

The iSOLATE-CT is designed for use with the iSOLATE501 RF galvanic isolator to enable quick & simple wireless deployments in hazardous areas. When fitted to an explosion proof enclosure containing the Extronics iSOLATE501, the RF ports of standard wireless radio device are protected by the A – When deployed in either a safe area or Exd enclosure, the iSOLATE501 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 that 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. Improved wireless performance from standard high-performance antennas – not limited range of certified omni antennas (user must assess risk as per guidelines for that country – Extronics iANT2xx range already assessed as safe to use).
