1 Introduction
The iWAP200 Zone 2 Access Point Enclosure is designed to deploy wireless
networks in hazardous areas. The concept allows installation of equipment from
leading WLAN vendors such as Cisco, Meru, Symbol and Firetide.
Each type of Access Point or RF transmitting device is rigorously checked and
tested by Extronics and our Notified Body to ensure conformity to the ATEX
standards and approvals. This means that Extronics can provide an OEM a
solution to enable your WLAN network devices to be installed in hazardous
areas.
The Extronics iWAP200 is designed for use with one to four 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 lightening suppression in outdoor
installations and either single and multimode fibre inputs for the Ethernet,
enclosure heating or cooling for low/high temperatures and anti-condensation
plus the option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands.
