2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EMOSAFE EN-1005+ Network Isolators disconnect every electrically conducting connection (specifically
the data and shield conductors) between devices connected together via a copper-based Ethernet network. The Network Isolators prevent current flow resulting from differences in electrical potentials, and
also protect connected devices and their users from stray external voltages and power surges which may
be directly or inductively coupled onto the network lines by causes such as installation errors, lightning,
switching operations, and electrostatic discharge.
Connected to a medical electrical (ME) product, the EMOSAFE EN-1005+ Network Isolator facilitates the
safe Ethernet connection of this ME product within the patient environment. The EN-1005+ satisfies all
construction requirements of IEC 60601-1 (3rd Edition) in the formation of two means of patient protection (MOPP) within the network interface, thereby practically eliminating the risk of electrical shocks arising from such stray external voltages at the network connection. With its UL approval, the EN-1005+ is
also suitable for devices destined for export to the North American markets.
The EMOSAFE EN-1005+ is a compact, high-performance Gigabit-capable network isolator, characterised
by its excellent Ethernet performance and a very high dielectric withstand voltage. The optional accessories Z-6W and Z-6R provide a range of possibilities for mounting on flat surfaces and DIN rails.
The EN-1005+ is equipped with transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode circuity. While conventional
network isolators can only block voltage spikes that occur simultaneously at all signal lines (arising, for
example, from potential voltage differences), potentially dangerous or damaging differential voltages on
individual signal lines are clipped by the TVS circuity, preventing these voltages from reaching Ethernet
devices, operators, and patients. Such differential voltage spikes can be caused, for example, by malfunctioning devices connected to the Ethernet, or also by electrostatic discharge events during the plugging
processes.
Low-frequency signal components are strongly attenuated, so that connected devices may, for example,
be protected against ground loops.
EMOSAFE Network Isolators transmit high-frequency signals through the principle of electromagnetic induction. Because of this, they do not require their own power supplies. There are no software drivers to
be installed.
3 APPLICATIONS

5 ACCESSORIES
5.1 Z-6W – WALL MOUNTING PLATE FOR EN-1005
The Z-6W Wall Mounting Plate can be used to mount an EN-1005+ on any flat surface. The Z-6W has a
snap lock system for coupling and decoupling the EN-1005+. A coupled EN-1005+ can be decoupled from
the mounting plate by pressing down on the ends of the snap lock clips with the help of a screwdriver or
other suitable tool, as indicated in Figure 4.
The Z-6W can be used to safely mount an EN-1005+ Network Isolator upon metallic surfaces that are not
directly connected to a protective earth. The required isolation distance of at least 12 mm between the
EN-1005+ and mounting surface is provided by the Z-6W. Refer to Figure 4.

With the help of the accessory Z-6R, the EN-1005+ can be mounted on an EN 50022 standard 35 mm DIN
rail. The Z-6R is based upon the Z-6W, and has the same features for coupling and decoupling an EN1005+. The required isolation distances to not only the DIN rail, but also to neighbouring devices, are inherently ensured by the Z-6R.

6 INSTALLATION INFORMATION
6.1 GENERAL
EN-1005+ Network Isolators are designed to be retrofitted to unprotected Ethernet network devices. It is
important to ensure that the conductive parts of the incoming patch cable are kept distanced from all
conductive parts of the end device. To ensure permanent protection, it is highly recommended that the
Network Isolator is securely mounted in place. With the optional Z-6W socket (see section 5.1), the
EMOSAFE EN-1005+ can be securely, yet detachably mounted to any surface, including electrically conductive surfaces, and still provide standard-compliant isolation protection.
Figure 8. EN-1005+ with accessory Z-6W mounted upon a metallic surface.
EN-1005+ Network Isolators are designed for data transmission in the frequency range of 300 kHz to
100 MHz. Lower frequencies are strongly attenuated. For this reason, it is generally not possible to transmit the signals from nurse call systems, telephone systems or analogue audio / video signals over a Network Isolator.
6.3 POWER OVER ETHERNET
The EN-1005+ Network Isolator can be used in a Power over Ethernet (PoE) network without restriction
(however PoE devices downstream of the electrical isolation are not supplied with power).
6.4 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
When designing Network Isolators into equipment or devices, it is essential that the manufacturer observes the applicable creepage and clearance distances. Specifically, the creepage and clearance distances between exposed metal surfaces of Ethernet patch cables plugged into the Network Isolator, and
the next-closest electrically conducting components of the equipment or device to be protected. These
distances must be designed to comply with the relevant requirements and standards. If needs be, this
next-closest electrically conducting component must be appropriately bonded to the protective earth
connection.
6.5 CABLE SHIELD
EN-1005+ Network Isolators also disconnect the shield connections in Ethernet cabling. If the cable shield
of the incoming data cable is to be connected with the room or equipment potential, such a connection
must be carried out separately before the Network Isolator, effectively bypassing the Network Isolator.
6.6 PERFORMANCE RESERVE REQUIREMENTS UPON FIXED CABLING
EMOSAFE EN-1005+ Network Isolators can also be used to provide permanently installed Ethernet cabling
with electrical isolation at the outlet termination. For an Ethernet cabling installation, including its termination of an EN-1005+ Network Isolator, to completely meet the requirements of Permanent Links according to ISO 11801 Class D or TIA/EIA 568 Cat.5e for Gigabit Ethernet, the cabling itself (without the Network Isolator) must provide a performance reserve. The following performance reserves to the Class D or
Cat.5e limiting curves must be met without a Network Isolator:
NEXT: 4.0 dB
Return Loss: 4.0 dB
Insertion Loss: 1.5 dB
If a cabling installation which satisfies this requirement is equipped with an EN-1005+ Network Isolator,
the installation as a whole will meet the requirements stated above. As required, this can then be verified
using a cable certification device. For this, see also 8.1 Function and Compliance Tests.
7 SAFETY NOTICE
7.1 ASSEMBLY
During assembly, attention should be paid (when applicable) to ensure that the clearance and creepage
distances required by IEC 60601-1 are met. The isolating effect of the Network Isolator must not be compromised by neighbouring conductive components. If, for example, the installation of the Network Isolator is to be within a metal plate, this plate must be connected to the ground potential (protective earth).
As a matter of principle, Network Isolators should be mounted as close as possible to the equipment requiring protection.
7.2 ENCLOSURE AND CONNECTION AREAS
The Network Isolator provides excellent protection between input and output, however the plastic enclosure provides only basic isolation. Furthermore, the connected plugs and the areas around the receptacles may have metal surfaces accessible to human contact, and therefore provide no protection. If the
risk management process of the responsible organisation (i.e. manufacturer or operator, as defined in IEC
60601-1) reveals unacceptable risks that operators or patients can touch the housing or exposed conducting parts while the Ethernet cabling is connected to a potentially dangerous voltage, the Network Isolator
and the exposed conducting surfaces must be surrounded with an appropriate enclosure to ensure the
required means of protection for the application.
7.3 DAMAGE AND CONTAMINATION
Damaged Network Isolators, and Network Isolators which are contaminated by dust or liquids, are to be
replaced.
8 FUNCTION AND SAFETY TESTS
8.1 FUNCTION AND COMPLIANCE TESTS
A cable run equipped with an EN-1005+ Network Isolator can be checked with regard to its transmission
characteristics using cable certification devices which are suitable for testing an electrically isolated cable
run. To be able to conduct such an inspection, the test equipment must be configured in an AC wire-map
mode. With the installed Network Isolator, the entire cable run can be approved according to EIA/TIA568 Cat.5e or ISO 11801 Class D. Testing of the cable shielding and the individual conductor resistance is
not possible in such an AC test mode.
8.2 SAFETY INSPECTIONS
Regular safety inspections and post-repair inspections are not prescribed for Network Isolators in medical
use, as Network Isolators themselves are not classified as medical electrical (ME) devices. However, together with a connected ME device, Network Isolators form part of an ME system, which altogether may
be subject to statutory inspection. The test interval, as well as the requirements to be met for both regular safety inspections and post-repair inspections will be specified by the responsible organisation (e.g.
manufacturer or operator as defined by the regulations), and based upon the applicable standards for the
entire ME system.
To simplify implementation, the individual components of the ME system (in this case, the Network Isolator) can be tested separately. Here as well, the responsible organisation specifies the test parameters,
test interval and in the event of a failed test, the consequences. Depending on the requirement profile,
the test can include one or more of the following individual tests:
8.2.1 VISUAL INSPECTION
Check for evidence of external damage and ingress of substances; dust or liquids for example.
It is to be checked if the measured leakage current is still within the prescribed limits. For this purpose,
test equipment which can perform equipment leakage current measurements in accordance with
IEC 62353 may be used. To perform a leakage current test, all conductors on the input side must be
short-circuited together, and all the conductors on the output side must also be short-circuited together.
The AC test voltage specified by the responsible organisation is then applied across these two connections. Input and output sides are interchangeable. The expected current flow can be found in section 9
Specifications.
8.2.3 HIPOT TEST
To ensure that the device under test is not damaged, it is recommended that a DC voltage source is used
in place of the AC voltage source, and that the DC voltage is 1½ times that of the required AC voltage. The
test setup is essentially the same as that of the Leakage Current Test above. The expected dielectric
strength can be found in section 9 Specifications.
8.2.4 FUNCTIONAL TEST
After conducting the tests above, and reconnecting the Network Isolator into the Ethernet network, it is
recommended to check whether the signal transmission is still performing correctly. Such a functional
test can be performed, for example, with a suitable Ethernet cable certification device. See also section
