FAQ

How many circuits can one AIL160-6 locate?

One AIL160-6 can locate faults in up to 6 circuits.

Can multiple AIL160 units be used together?

Yes, up to 8 AIL160 units can be combined to monitor up to 48 circuits. The loop range for each unit is set via DIP switches (bits 8-10).

What is the response time for fault location?

The response time is ≤5 seconds.

How to set the terminating resistor for CAN communication?

Set DIP switches 1 and 2 both to “1” to enable the built-in 120Ω terminating resistor. Set to “0” to disable.

What is the power supply requirement for AIL160?

It requires a DC 24V auxiliary power supply (18…36V range), with maximum power consumption of 2VA.

Can the AIL160 work independently?

No, it must be used together with AIM-M300/SG insulation monitor and ASG150 test signal generator as part of the medical IT insulation fault location system.

Summary

The AIL160-6 insulation fault locator is a compact and expandable solution for medical IT systems requiring branch insulation monitoring. Working with AIM-M300/SG and ASG150, it pinpoints insulation faults within seconds in up to 6 circuits per unit. Its DIP-switch-based expansion allows up to 48 circuits to be monitored, making it ideal for operating suites, ICUs, and large-scale hospital electrical networks. With reliable CAN communication, low power consumption, and easy installation, it ensures rapid response and minimal downtime in critical areas.
