EXAMPLE APPLICATIONSCOMMUNICATIONSWith more and more smartphones and tablets becoming available withhazardous area certification, enable your mobile workers to stay in touch. TheiWAP XN3 is a cost-effective way to install a Wi-Fi or LTE network across yoursite, allowing those smart devices to connect with each other for real-timecommunications. Workers can access information on how to perform tasks
correctly, seek assistance from experts without leaving their post, and record
operational data more easily.

WORKER SAFETY
In a hazardous process industry
environment, such as an oil rig,worker safety is paramount. TheiWAP XN3 can be used to deploy
the backbone infrastructure
for a real time location system(RTLS) that allows workers tocall for help in emergencies, bemustered quickly and accurately
in an evacuation, and be locatedacross your site for better security
and accountability.

ASSET LOCATIONREGULATORY COMPLIANCE

RTLS based on wireless technologies
like Wi-Fi can also be used tomanage assets. An industrial site
has thousands of moving parts andtools. When a vital component goesmissing mid-manufacturing order,
it causes a serious hold up in theprocess, which in turn has a knockon effect that makes the entire
system inefficient. Being able toeasily and accurately locate assets
reduces search times and increases
productivity.

In highly regulated processindustries, such as pharmaceuticalmanufacturing, you can use awireless network to create a full
digital audit trail. With workers
carrying handheld smart devices
and communicating throughthe wireless network, the risk ofhuman error and data loss can be
mitigated.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
Use the iWAP XN3 to access your trapped data. Sensors in remote outposts
collect data on operational activity, such as vibration readings on pumps ina refinery. Instead of someone having to manually check the readings eachmonth, why not use the iWAP XN3? With technology like a LoRa gateway
inside, you could see the data more quickly and reduce the manpower
needed to access information, making you better placed to carry out
predictive maintenance more effectively and efficiently.

The iWAP XN3 is a safe, reliable way to use thelatest wireless technologies in ATEX and IECEx
Zone 2 and 22 and North American Class I, II
Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
It’s configurable to suit your application,and our engineers will help you get theright solution to enable your site’s digitaltransformation.

FULLY CERTIFIED FOR
HAZARDOUS AREAS

YOUR CHOICE OF WIRELESSTECHNOLOGYEASY INSTALLATION & LOW
MAINTENANCE

The iWAP XN3 comes completewith all the certification needed
for installation in ATEX, IECEx,
and North American hazardousareas. You don’t need additional
certification, no matter which
wireless technology you choose.

The iWAP XN3 is a truly universal
system – you choose whichever
wireless technology you like, fromany vendor. That includes Wi-Fi
access points, UHF RFID readers,
LTE routers, and IoT gateways withtechnology like LoRa, WiHART, andISA100.

The iWAP XN3 is lightweight andeasy to manoeuvre in a variety oflocations, with wall and pole mountoptions available.
The external junction box puts
practicality are the forefront,
allowing you to use the cabling andglands of your choice. It also meansthat there’s also no need for routinenR maintenance testing.

USE NON-CERTIFIED ANTENNASHIGHLY RUGGEDTHERMALLY ENGINEEREDThe iWAP XN3 includes our leading
iSOLATE technology, providing
intrinsically safe RF outputs withstandard N-type connectors. Thatmeans you can use non-certified
simple apparatus antennas,
giving you more choice, optimal
performance, and a lower budget
spend.

Made from marine-grade
aluminium and finished with adurable epoxy powder coating, theiWAP XN3 is designed for outdoor
installation in harsh industrial
environments. It’s IP66 and NEMA
4 rated too, able to withstandexposure to the elements.

The iWAP XN3 has an innovative
extruded body with fins that act
as heat sinks and the white epoxy
powder coating minimises theimpact of solar loading, reducing
the internal temperature of theenclosure and allowing the iWAP
XN3 to be deployed in high ambienttemperatures.

IP66

MEET THE iWAP XN3 RANGE
The iWAP XN3 is available in four standard sizes to give you themost suitable solution that meets your technical needs. The
innovative internal chassis design packs lots of functionality intoa compact space.
Our team of engineers are on hand to guide you; they’ll helpyou select the most appropriate model to meet the technicalrequirements of your application.
