Flameproof Scanner

Radix’s ISOSCAN 16-channel scanner is housed in a flameproof enclosure certified for gas groups I, IIA & IIB with IP55 rating; resistant to moderate levels of dust and water. The non-flameproof version can be found here. ISOSCAN is a 16-channel scanner by Radix. It has 5 distinctive software versions for a wide variety applications that must be reviewed before selecting a model. With up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs, ISOSCAN receives input from 8 types of thermocouples (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T) Pt100 RTD sensors and voltage or current (4-20 mA or 0-20 mA) linear input. Inputs can be selected on the front panel of the scanner without DIP reconfiguring for each channel, making it very easy to operate. Operators also program setpoints and alarms on ISOSCAN via membrane keys on the front of the unit. Inputs may be grouped together to trigger a common alarm. ISOSCAN’s channel-scan time for all of the inputs is less than 1.6 seconds. The scanner indicates process value, setpoint value and channel scanned in three two-color LED displays. 32 additional LEDs indicates the status of 16 relays and 16 alarms. A secondary 2 x 16 character LCD facilitates programming of input type, range, grouping, etc. ISOSCAN’s 8 electromagnetic relays perform ON-OFF control - heating, cooling or cooling with compressor time delay and also trigger high, low, deviation high and low, inband and outband alarms. The scanner transmits 8 isolated current or voltage output signals to other devices such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or Solid-State Relay (SSR). Signal isolation protects your devices and machines downstream of our instruments from damaging fluctuations in the input signal. ISOSCAN process values and events are viewed on a SCADA, which supports up to 32 instruments, thousands of tags and offers control features such as data-retrieval, trend mapping, 2 levels of security, setpoint and alarms programming amongst others. The scanner will store up to 10 years of information even when powered down with non-volatile memory. Radix also offers a 21CFR version for the pharmaceutical industry.
