Introducing the new Intrinsically Safe Antenna Coupler SOLEXY – RX Series is designed to be used directly with listed explosion housings or conduit fittings. This coupler is an integrated blocking circuit that prevents hazardous energy from reaching the antenna if a radio, modem, or access point failure occurs. It also allows antenna removal in hazardous areas.
The coupler’s powerful design allows for the connection to approximately any radio and antenna. It is a highly flexible cost-effective solution to hazardous area radio system deployment. The coupler can also be used as a cable bulkhead.
Solexy I S Antenna Barrier
The Antenna Coupler function is to block DC signal and provide a very high impedance to low-frequency AC signal. Fitting is approved for hazardous locations and can be installed with a simple wrench.
Features
- Short Circuit Protection – includes integrated blocking circuitry
- Environmental Protection – All required circuitry is recessed into the fitting and encapsulated against the harsh environment.
- Certification – The RX series is certified ATEX, IECEx, and for USA and Canada as an apparatus, and can be installed per the conditions of acceptability, without further assessment. North America approval (the USA and Canada ) includes Class and Divisions and Zones. IECEx certifications are issued from an Australian noticed body, therefore RX can be installed in Queensland mine.
- No Sealing Fitting Required – Permits a wide variety of passive antennas to be installed in hazardous areas.
- Antennas may be removed and/or installed with power on. Perfect for a cable bulkhead connection.
- Isolated Antenna Ground – optional antenna ground isolation ( RX 1..) from housing ground, combined with the positive circuit, solves ground loop issues in case of remotely mounted antennas and prevents potential ground noise to interfere with RF signal.
Properties
