2. Mounting
ISOLATOR is housed in a strong galvanised steel case that can be mounted using 4mm diameter hardware
in the holes that are on 40mm x 92.5mm centres. If dust or moisture resistance is required then it will be
necessary to mount ISOLATOR in a suitable enclosure. Note that the case of ISOLATOR is connected to the
earth system on the LINK side of the isolation barrier.

3. Connections
ISOLATOR has three ports: IN; OUT & LINK. Each port has both RJ45 and ‘Phoenix’ pluggable screw
terminal blocks. These connectors are connected directly together so either may be used as convenient.
For example it might be most convenient to connect ISOLATOR ‘LINK’ to the LINK output of a VNET
deviceusing a standard RJ45 patch lead while using the Phoenix connections for the hard wired network
‘backbone’ cabling on the IN and OUT ports (which are also connected directly together).
