Wireless I/O systems can now be safely installed in the Division 1 area with the XANT explosion proof system. This wireless I/O transmitter/receiver system features a cast aluminum enclosure designed to house a transmitter and antenna.
A receiver and antenna is included loose with the packaged system. The ruggedized, cast aluminum enclosure is impact resistant to UL requirements and includes an integral wire sealing chamber, eliminating the need for a field installed poured sealing fitting. A second model, the N4ANT, is also available for any industrial areas rated NEMA 4X where ruggedized protection is important. These transmitter/receiver systems use spread spectrum frequency hopping techniques to guarantee a license-free (902-928MHz ISM band), interference-free link between remote locations and the control room. Typical in-plant range is 600-1,000 feet with no line-of-sight.
