The iWAP103 Zone 1 Universal Access Point Enclosure is designed to allow the deployment of wireless networks in hazardous
areas. The concept allows installation of equipment from leading WLAN vendors such as Aeroscout, Meru, Symbol, Cisco,
Firetide, Acksys and many others. Each type of Access Point or RF transmitting device is rigorously checked and tested by
Extronics and/or a Notified Body to ensure conformity to the ATEX requirements. This means that the user may select the vendor of their choice when extending a WLAN to hazardous areas. However equipment not already on the list overleaf will
require assessment to determine its suitability.
The Extronics iWAP103 requires one or two high quality Ex e increased safety antennas (not included) such as the
Extronics iANT100 series. These will allow optimum coverage on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional
features include surge arrestors for lightning suppression in outdoor installations and fibre optic inputs for the Ethernet.
Additionally the IWAP103 has optional single or dual RS232/RS485/RS422 inputs, allowing these interfaces to be transmitted
over a WIFI link. Finally an optional POE supply module allows the iWAP103 to power up to two external devices such as IP
cameras or additional access points.

Overview
iWAP102-A Zone 1 WiFi Access Point
The iWAP102-A Zone 1 and 21 Wireless 802.11 Access Points provide reliable secure WiFi connectivity for your industrial facility. The
dual radio tri-mode Access Points are part of our Meru powered Wireless LAN System, which consists of coordinated Extronics iWAP AP’s at
the edge and centralised Meru controllers for management, security and coordination for over-the-air reliability and Quality of Service (QoS).
The iWAP102-A also comes as standard with best in class security, basic Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) support, and reliability essential for Enterprise-class WiFi connectivity.
Reliable Connectivity Anywhere
The Meru powered iWAP102-A is especially suited for deployments in industrial environments where RF multi path interference often causes
problems for standard WLANs. The iWAP102-A is a plug-and-play device that needs no configuration and no complex RF channel planning.
Centralised configuration with Meru controllers and RF coordination provided by Meru Air Traffic Control™ technology eliminates costly
installation steps and improves the throughput of the complete network.
Multi-Layered Security
To help deliver greater security for the WLAN, Extronics Meru powered AP’s go beyond the basic over the air protection by providing multi-layered security policies. Local and Radius MAC Filtering, WPA2, WPA, 802.1x and WEP. No security information is
contained within the AP and they only operate with the Meru controllers, it is also possible to have a different security policy
assigned to a specific group of users or to a particular VLAN.
Centralised RF Management Lowers Operational costs
The iWAP102-A Access Points are controlled by a Meru Controller residing in the safe area which allows configuration and control of
the system from a local terminal or remote PC
Designed For Extreme Environments The Extronics iWAP102-A is designed for use with one or two standard antennas or Extronics iANT200 series of intrinsically safe antennas
for optimum coverage on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional features include surge arrestors for
lightning suppression in outdoor installations, multimode fibre inputs for the Ethernet, enclosure heating and cooling for extreme
ambient temperatures and anti-condensation plus the option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands.
Single Channel Infrastructure for the Easiest to Deploy
Network
The iWAP102-A is the easiest to deploy enterprise class WLAN
because the single channel architecture eliminates channel planning required in a traditional WLAN significantly reducing costs. Also most
suitable for plants with background noise on certain 802.11 channels
as a noise free channel can be chosen for deployment, not possible
with the traditional 1, 6, 11 channel planning WLAN.
Convenient Network Expansion
Add new AP’s as more bandwidth is required without having to
change channel planning.
Dual Radios and Wireless Backhaul Capability Dual radios enable simultaneous support of 802.11a and 802.11b/g if
required. Also a MESH wireless backhaul can be configured in
locations where network cabling is to expensive to install.

iWAP102-M Zone 1 Wireless Mesh Ethernet Router
Overview The iWAP102M Zone 1 and 21 Wireless MESH Ethernet Routers provide reliable Ethernet connectivity over a high-performance, self-
forming wireless mesh backbone - indoors, outdoors, or onboard moving vehicles. Powered by Firetide they have one Ethernet port for
connecting network devices such as an IP Camera or other networks to the wireless mesh. iWAP102 mesh nodes provide up to 70 Mbps
throughput and operate at 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz (U.S. public safety licensed band), or 5 GHz. Depending on the model, iWAP102 nodes are equipped with either single or dual radios, operating at up to 400 mW.
Reliable Connectivity Anywhere
Designed for seamless indoor and outdoor operation, the mesh network securely handles concurrent video, voice, and data applications,
making it ideal for industrial networks. The mesh's self-forming and self-healing properties enable rapid deployment and dependable
operation. Firetide's AutoMesh routing protocol manages network load and traffic congestion to optimize mesh-wide performance and
capacity.
Dual-radio Performance
To maximize performance, dual-radio iWAP102 nodes support two radio modes. In the "bonded" mode, both radios are combined to operate as a single unit that provides double the bandwidth of a single radio equivalent. This is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as
video surveillance, resulting in crystal clear video images. This mode also provides a "fat pipe" for point to point wireless backhaul - for
example, to connect two mesh networks or creating a point to point link between two sites.
In the "linear" mode, both radios operate independently enabling sustained bandwidth levels over an unlimited number of hops. This enables
long linear topologies, such as when networking a railway line, and provides a sustained level of service to every node, which is also critical
for large municipal networks.
Designed For Extreme Environments The Extronics iWAP102 is designed for use with one or two standard antennas or Extronics iANT200 series of intrinsically safe antennas
for optimum coverage on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional features include surge arrestors for
lightning suppression in outdoor installations and multimode fibre inputs for the Ethernet, enclosure heating and cooling for
extreme ambient temperatures and anti-condensation plus the option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands.
Features and Benefits
Single Infrastructure for Multi-user, Multi-service Wireless
Network
The Firetide mesh solves the problem of having to build out
dedicated wireless networks for multiple applications and users. With iWAP102-M nodes, you can build a single infrastructure for
site safety video, Wi-Fi access, enterprise VPN, and voice traffic,
dramatically reducing return on investment in the wireless
backbone.
Convenient Network Expansion
You can extend your existing network, whether wired or wireless,
with iWAP102 nodes and achieve seamless integration with all
network components and applications.
Advanced Mesh Security
End-to-End security in the iWAP102 mesh nodes ensure maximum
safety and privacy of your data. They feature WEP and WPA2
encryption between nodes and AES encryption from ingress to
egress. All Layer 3 IP data is encapsulated and accessible only to
Firetide mesh nodes. iWAP102-M nodes support VLANs,
segmenting traffic with secure access control on same physical
infrastructure.

Overview
iWAP200-A Zone 2 WiFi Access Point
The iWAP200A Zone 2 and 21 Wireless 802.11 Access Points provide reliable secure WiFi connectivity for your industrial facility. The dual
radio tri-mode Access Points are part of our Meru powered Wireless LAN System, which consists of coordinated Extronics iWAP AP’s at the
edge and centralised Meru controllers for management, security and coordination for over-the-air reliability and Quality of Service (QoS). The
iWAP200-A also comes as standard with best in class security, basic Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) support, and reliability essential for Enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity.
Reliable Connectivity Anywhere
The Meru powered iWAP200-A is especially suited for deployments in industial environments where RF multi path interference often causes
problems for standard WLANs. The iWAP200-A is a plug-and-play device that needs no configuration and no complex RF channel planning.
Centralised configuration with Meru controllers and RF coordination provided by Meru Air Traffic Control™ technology eliminates costly
installation steps and improves the throughput of the complete network.
Multi-Layered Security
To help deliver greater security for the WLAN, Extronics Meru powered AP’s go beyond the basic over the air protection by providing multi-layered security policies. Local and Radius MAC Filtering, WPA2, WPA, 802.1x and WEP. No security information is
contained within the AP and they only operate with the Meru controllers, it is also possible to have a different security policy
assigned to a specific group of users or to a particular VLAN.
Centralised RF Management Lowers Operational costs
The iWAP200-A Access Points are controlled by a Meru Controller residing in the safe area which allows configuration and control of
the system from a local terminal or remote PC
Designed For Extreme Environments The Extronics iWAP200-A is designed for use with one or two standard antennas or Extronics iANT200 series of intrinsically safe antennas
for optimum coverage on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional features include surge arrestors for
lightning suppression in outdoor installations, multimode fibre inputs for the Ethernet, enclosure heating and cooling for extreme
ambient temperatures and anti-condensation plus the option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands.
Single Channel Infrastructure for the Easiest to Deploy
Network
The iWAP200-A is the easiest to deploy enterprise class WLAN
because the single channel architecture eliminates channel planning required in a traditional WLAN significantly reducing costs. Also most
suitable for plants with background noise on certain 802.11 channels
as a noise free channel can be chosen for deployment, not possible

iWAP300-A also comes as standard with best in class security, basic Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) support, and reliability essential for Enterprise-class WiFi connectivity.
Reliable Connectivity Anywhere
The Meru powered iWAP300-A is especially suited for deployments in industrial environments where RF multi path interference often causes
problems for standard WLANs. The iWAP300-A is a plug-and-play device that needs no configuration and no complex RF channel planning.
Centralised configuration with Meru controllers and RF coordination provided by Meru Air Traffic Control™ technology eliminates costly
installation steps and improves the throughput of the complete network.
Multi-Layered Security
To help deliver greater security for the WLAN, Extronics Meru powered AP’s go beyond the basic over the air protection by providing multi-layered security policies. Local and Radius MAC Filtering, WPA2, WPA, 802.1x and WEP. No security information is
contained within the AP and they only operate with the Meru controllers, it is also possible to have a different security policy
assigned to a specific group of users or to a particular VLAN.
Centralised RF Management Lowers Operational costs
The iWAP300-A Access Points are controlled by a Meru Controller residing in the safe area which allows configuration and control of
the system from a local terminal or remote PC
Designed For Extreme Environments The Extronics iWAP300-A is designed for use with one or two standard antennas or Extronics iANT200 series of intrinsically safe antennas
for optimum coverage on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional features include surge arrestors for
lightning suppression in outdoor installations, multimode fibre inputs for the Ethernet, enclosure heating and cooling for extreme
ambient temperatures and anti-condensation plus the option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands.
Single Channel Infrastructure for the Easiest to Deploy
Network
The iWAP300-A is the easiest to deploy enterprise class WLAN
because the single channel architecture eliminates channel planning required in a traditional WLAN significantly reducing costs. Also most
suitable for plants with background noise on certain 802.11 channels
as a noise free channel can be chosen for deployment, not possible
with the traditional 1, 6, 11 channel planning WLAN.
Convenient Network Expansion
Add new AP’s as more bandwidth is required without having to
change channel planning.
Dual Radios and Wireless Backhaul Capability Dual radios enable simultaneous support of 802.11a and 802.11b/g
if required. Also a MESH wireless backhaul can be configured in
locations where network cabling is to expensive to install.

iWAP300-M Industrial Wireless MESH Ethernet
Overview The iWAP300M industrial Wireless MESH Ethernet Routers provide reliable Ethernet and optional serial data connectivity over a high-
performance, self-forming wireless mesh backbone - indoors, outdoors, or onboard moving vehicles. Powered by Firetide they have one
Ethernet port for connecting network devices such as an IP Camera or other networks to the wireless mesh. iWAP300 mesh nodes provide up
to 70 Mbps throughput and operate at 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz (U.S. public safety licensed band), or 5 GHz. Depending on the model, iWAP300 nodes are equipped with either single or dual radios, operating at up to 400 mW.
Reliable Connectivity Anywhere
Designed for seamless indoor and outdoor operation, the mesh network securely handles concurrent video, voice, and data applications,
making it ideal for industrial networks. The mesh's self-forming and self-healing properties enable rapid deployment and dependable operation.
Firetide's AutoMesh routing protocol manages network load and traffic congestion to optimize mesh-wide performance and capacity.
Dual-radio Performance
To maximize performance, dual-radio iWAP300 nodes support two radio modes. In the "bonded" mode, both radios are combined to operate as
a single unit that provides double the bandwidth of a single radio equivalent. This is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video surveillance, resulting in crystal clear video images. This mode also provides a "fat pipe" for point to point wireless backhaul - for example, to
connect two mesh networks or creating a point to point link between two sites.
In the "linear" mode, both radios operate independently enabling sustained bandwidth levels over an unlimited number of hops. This enables
long linear topologies, such as when networking a railway line, and provides a sustained level of service to every node, which is also critical for
large municipal networks.
Designed For Extreme Environments
The Extronics iWAP300 is designed for use with one or two standard antennas or Extronics iANT200 series of intrinsically safe antennas for optimum coverage on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional features include surge arrestors for lightning
suppression in outdoor installations, multimode fibre inputs for the Ethernet, enclosure heating and cooling for extreme ambient
temperatures and anti-condensation plus the option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands
Features and Benefits
Single Infrastructure for Multi-user, Multi-service
Wireless Network
The Firetide mesh solves the problem of having to build out
dedicated wireless networks for multiple applications and users. With iWAP300-M nodes, you can build a single
infrastructure for site safety video, Wi-Fi access, enterprise
VPN, and voice traffic, dramatically reducing return on
investment in the wireless backbone.
Convenient Network Expansion
You can extend your existing network, whether wired or
wireless, with iWAP300 nodes and achieve seamless
integration with all network components and applications.
Advanced Mesh Security
End-to-End security in the iWAP300 mesh nodes ensure
maximum safety and privacy of your data. They feature WEP
and WPA2 encryption between nodes and AES encryption from
ingress to egress. All Layer 3 IP data is encapsulated and
accessible only to Firetide mesh nodes. iWAP300-M nodes
support VLANs, segmenting traffic with secure access control
on same physical infrastructure.

The iWAP102-LR Location Receiver is a zone 1 hazardous area version of the Aeroscout Location Receiver and is a core component
of the AeroScout Visibility System that enables location-based applications in a WiFi wireless LAN environment. The AeroScout
Location Receivers provide robust and sophisticated time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurement capabilities packaged in small,
easy to install devices. The Location Receiver receives standard 802.11b messages and executes sophisticated radio signal measurements, enabling the AeroScout Engine software to accurately calculate the location of both AeroScout's WiFi-based Active
RFID tags and any WiFi-enabled device.
Locates any tagged asset, using Extronics Tags. AeroScout's small, rugged, battery-powered tags can be attached to people
and to a variety of equipment, such as medical devices, containers, manufacturing equipment and retail shopping carts. Location
Receivers receive and process tag information accurately from a long range.
Locates standard WiFi clients without hardware or software modifications. The AeroScout system also locates standard
WiFi clients such as laptops, PDAs and barcode scanners, without the need to tag these assets or introduce client software. This
eliminates a major management challenge and enables simple implementation.
Accurate real-time location as well as sophisticated RFID choke-point detection. The AeroScout system uses time
difference of arrival (TDOA) algorithms to determine accurate location. With the AeroScout Exciter, the same system also enables
tags to be detected, reprogrammed or transfer data messages as they pass through doorways, gates or other choke points.
Indoor, outdoor and mixed operation. The AeroScout System is suitable for use in indoor, outdoor and mixed environments,
from corporate offices to harsh industrial areas.
Overview
Low infrastructure requirement Location Receivers
communicate with the AeroScout Engine software via standard
Ethernet or wirelessly over a WiFi network - no dedicated
location network cabling is required. Also, because Location Receivers have a long read range (600 feet outdoors), large
installations can be covered with much less infrastructure than
standard RFID systems.
Ease of installation
Configuration is simple: The installer executes all setup tasks
from the AeroScout Engine's System Manager software, which
records the placement of a Location Receiver with a single
mouse click. Location Receivers also support Power over
Ethernet, eliminating costly electrical installation.
Performance
AeroScout's expertise in wireless signal measurement has led
to the development of a range of patent-pending algorithms
and techniques. Embedded in the Location Receiver, these
measure the TDOA of standard 802.11b messages to the
nanosecond. The AeroScout Engine processes this TDOA data
to produce accurate and reliable location data suitable for
mission critical visibility applications. Each Location Receiver
can process over 300 location measurements per second,
enough to satisfy even the most demanding applications. A
minimum of three Location Receivers suffices to enable TDOA location processing. Location Receivers can also process
presence based location for areas where fewer than three
Receivers are available.

Active RFID and Telemetry Functions
When used together with the AeroScout
Exciter, Location Receivers enable
multiple sophisticated tag functions. These include instant RFID detection at a
choke point (such as a gate or doorway)
and tag message and data retrieval for
telemetry applications.
Compliance
All AeroScout products are fully compliant
with WiFi and IEEE 802.11b standards.
Location Receivers do not interfere with
the wireless local area network. Even when set up with a bridge to provide
location measurement data wirelessly,
the volume of traffic they generate is
insignificant.
Security
Location Receivers do not accept any WiFi
client associations, so they need not be
placed on secure Ethernet ports and pose no security risks. Together with
appropriate se-curity software, Location
Receivers may be used as wireless
intrusion-detection devices to detect and
locate unauthorized use of access points
and/or client devices.

The Extronics iCITE 100 is a Zone 1 approved version of the Aeroscout Exciter which is a hardware component of AeroScout's
industry-leading Visibility System for Active RFID and location applications. Exciters add value by extending the system to provide
robust and sophisticated RFID detection and identification capabilities, using the same Wi-Fi-based Active RFID tags that can also
be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system.
Exciters use low frequency signals to trigger Extronics iTAG 100 tags as they pass through a choke point or within Exciter range, to
transmit a message that is received by a standard Access Point or Location Receiver. This provides
instant knowledge that a tagged asset or person passed through a gate, doorway or some other tightly defined area, as well as the
ability to identify an asset's precise location on a rack or a workstation. The detection capabilities of the Exciter, combined with
location features, make the Extronics hazardous area Visibility System the most sophisticated enterprise location solution for a
wide variety of industries.
Overview
Theft prevention and security
Facilities and general enterprises can tag valuable assets that are
intended to stay within a certain area. The system can track the
location of those assets, and if they leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, the Exciter will trigger an alert.
Process control
Manufacturing and supply chain facilities can track the location and
presence of equipment and in process inventory as it moves through
the production process. This gives an enterprise a real-time view of
which (and how many) assets have passed each step in the process,
enabling better supply chain management.
Reduced searching time Exciters can identify an individual asset among many similar assets,
such as WIP items on a shelf in manufacturing, or hospital infusion
pumps in a storage room. The person initiating the search will not
only know the location of the asset, but can also make the tag
physically identify itself through a blinking light.
Inventory management
Logistics and manufacturing en-terprises can automatically up-date
inventory records based on assets currently within defined areas,
ensuring real-time knowledge of levels without manual checks or physical scanning.
Business event automation
Any type of enterprise can use Exciters to trigger automated events
and alerts that occur based on the location of an asset. For
example, when a set number of pieces of WIP
inventory pass by an Exciter to enter a processing area, the floor
supervisor can receive a pager alert to redistribute staff to that
area.

Highly accurate location detection. The
EX3100 small form factor Exciter enables
enterprises to locate assets precisely to a
specific shelf, rack, workstation (in
manufacturing) or bed (in healthcare.) In
addition, any Exciter model can assist in difficult searches by distinguishing between
similar nearby assets, and making the right
tag identify itself by blinking.
Tag behaviour modification:
Wireless activation and deactivation of
tags, extending tag battery life further by
switching them off when they leave a
defined tracking area. Change of tag transmission rate and
other tag programming for a temporary
or indefinite time to accommodate
different usage patterns.
Telemetry and data functions provide
the ability to use Exciters to store
messages on the tag for later
transmission. Message transmission can
later be triggered by other Exciters, enabling sophisticated process control
functions. Exciters can trigger a tag to
store and transmit up to ten bytes of
data.
Rugged IP66-rated enclosure for use
in any hostile indoor or outdoor
environment and in a wide temperature
range
Chaining enables multiple Exciters to be
connected together for full, precise
coverage of areas such as large gates
and racks. Note that this function is only
available as a special order at this
moment. Minimal cabling requirements,
because Exciters do not need to be
networked and can support Power over
Ethernet (PoE). For optimal conditions, the standard Ethernet interface enables
centralized programming, monitoring and
software updates by the AeroScout
Engine.

-10ºC to +55ºC (14ºF to +131ºF)
IP68 (4 metres for 4 days)
The iLOG100 is an intrinsically safe battery powered data logger for use in remote hazardous areas where there is no power supply
infrastructure and process data is required to be measured and logged. The iLOG100 has two 4-20mA inputs with loop power
supply to power any standard intrinsically safe two wire transmitter such as flow, level and temperature transmitters. The three
digital inputs can be configured as either an on/off logic signal for starting or stopping logging from devices such as a float switch or configured as a pulse counting input for flow measurement and totalising with a frequency range up to 1KHz.
The power is provided by a replaceable battery pack that will last up to several years depending on logging frequency and number
of data uploads per day. For applications that have a high logging frequency an external battery pack is available as an option
doubling the battery life.
The iLOG100 is configured by a user friendly Windows software package which also offer diagnostic facilities. The logged data is
uploaded to a Linux Server running software or alternatively it is possible to use our managed servers and via a web browser view
the data and export it to other applications.
Overview
Flexible Mounting and Rugged Construction
The iLOG100 is made from a robust polycarbonate and as such is
resistant to corrosion. It is designed for installation in dirty wet plant
environments and with IP68 ingress protection it can be installed in areas susceptible to flooding to a depth of 4 metres for 4 days.
Long Battery Life
A powerful, replaceable battery pack offers years of logging
depending on the frequency of logging and data upload. The battery
life may be doubled by adding an external battery pack. The
intrinsically safe battery packs may be changed in a hazardous area
meaning a hot work permit is not required or the iLOG100 does not
have to be dismounted and moved to a safe area.
Internal or External Antenna
As standard the iLOG100 is supplied with an internal stub antenna.
For applications where the GSM/GPRS network signal is poor an
external antenna may be connected. Extronics have several types of
external antenna available that have been assessed as intrinsically
safe when used with the iLOG100. Other special antennas may also
be used providing they have been assessed by Extronics to comply
with the intrinsic safety
requirements of the certificate.
Logging Functions The iLOG100 not only measures and logs data but it can also
perform calculations on the data such as flow rate from pulse
inputs, totals, averaging and simple maths functions.
Flexible Software
The iLOG100 is configured using a standard Windows based
software that connects to the serial port of the unit. Functions
include set-up, maths and logic functions, alarms with remote
messaging via Email or text message and diagnostic mode for
maintenance and calibration. To upload data there are two possibilities. Users can have their own
service set up on our redundant high availability servers to upload,
view and export the data via any web browser over the internet.
There is an annual charge for this service. Alternatively if your
application has multiple loggers you may prefer to run our Linux
based application on a dedicated PC in your company and upload

Component certified DC and low-frequency
AC block with transient current limitation.
Allows antenna outputs to be made
intrinsically safe.
Passes RF from 900MHz—6.5GHz
Small OEM module
The attenuator module provides DC and low-frequency AC blocking with transient current limitation for intrinsically safe RF
devices. It consists of a small PCB loaded with high performance RF components protected by a screening can. Connections
are made via SMA sockets. The board has 4 3.2mm diameter mounting holes allowing it to be secured to a chassis.
The device contains two series capacitors which provide DC blocking. These capacitors also present a high impedance to AC
low-frequency AC signals. Transient current limitation is provided by a low-loss RF resistor. An assessment must be made (by
a notified body) of the maximum voltage available under fault conditions from the apparatus connected to the input port of
the attenuator module. By assessing the maximum available fault current and voltage at the attenuator module output port, a
value may be determined for the maximum permissible capacitance and inductance of the load for a specific gas group.
Providing that these conditions are met, and any heating effects in the load are considered, the load may be considered to be
intrinsically safe.

Maximum output voltage from
transmitter under fault conditions
assessed as 10V by notified body.
Therefore maximum transient fault
current = 10/2.7 = 3.7A
Maximum permissible inductance in a
IIC gas at 3.7A = 2.92uH
Maximum permissible capacitance in a
IIC gas at 10V = 400nF
Maximum inductance of RG316 coax
= 220nH/m, maximum capacitance
100pF/m.
Antenna inductance measured as
10nH, capacitance 5pF.
Therefore maximum safe coax length
= 13.2m

Component certified 2.77 Ohm current
limiting resistor
Built as 50 Ohm Pi attenuator
0.5-0.6dB attenuation from 100KHz to
6GHz
RF power handling to 1.5W
Ceramic thin-film design fails open circuit
on overload
Suitable for fault voltages to 60V
High-performance SMD package designed
for microstrip mounting
ROHS compliant
The RF attenuator module is designed to be used as part of DC blocking circuits where transient current limitation is required.
It is built as a ceramic thin-film Pi attenuator network designed to offer good impedance matching and a flat 0.5dB insertion
loss between 100KHz and 6GHz.
The module is designed so that it will fail open-circuit when over-loaded by RF, therefore it is deemed to be an infallible RF
current-limiting device. It has suitable creepage and clearance for 60V as standard (2mm), and this can be increased by
conformal coating or use in a low-pollution environment (e.g. under encapsulant) as defined in EN60079-11:2007 (although
this may result in a small increase in insertion loss above 1Ghz).
