Legal notices
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices that must be observed for your personal safety as
well as to prevent damage to equipment. The notices are emphasized using a
warning sign. Depending on the hazard level the warning notices are shown in
decreasing severity as follows:
DANGER
Indicates a hazard which results in death or severe injury if no appropriate
preventive actions are taken.
WARNING
Indicates a hazard which can result in death or severe injury if no
appropriate preventive actions are taken.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazard that can result in slight injury if no appro-priate
preventive actions are taken.
NOTE
Indicates a hazard which can result in equipment damage if no appropriate
preventive actions are taken.
If more than one hazard level pertains, the highest level of warning is always
used. If the warning sign is used in a warning notice to warn of personal
injury, the same warning notice may have an additional warning of equipment
damage appended.
Qualified personnel
The product described in this manual may be installed and placed in operation
only by personnel who are qualified for the respective task.
The documentation associated with the respective task must be followed,
especially the safety and warning notices contained therein.
Qualified personnel are defined as those who are qualified by their training
and experience to recognize risks when handling the described products and to
avoid possible hazards.
Disposal
Electronic equipment may not be disposed of with normal waste, but must be
brought to a proper electrical scrap processing facility.
Symbols on the product
Symbol | Explanation |
---|---|
**** | CE-Mark |
The product conforms to the requirements of the relevant EU Directives.
****| WEEE-Mark
The product may not be disposed of with normal waste, but rather in accordance
with local disposal regulations for electrical scrap.
Safety Instructions
Intended Use
The USB Isolator 2 kV HS manufactured by Wiesemann & Theis galvanically
isolates Low-, Full- and High-speed USB connections with an isolation voltage
of at least 2,000 V. The isolator prevents compensating currents from flowing
over the USB line due to potential differences between the connected devices.
This way the risk of data transmission disturbances or destruction of the
interfaces can be reduced. For this purpose the isolator can simply be
inserted into the existing USB connection.
DANGER
The isolator described in this manual may only be used to protect the USB
interfaces. It is not permitted to use the isolator to protect personnel
against contact with dangerous voltages. If a safetycritical electrical
isolation is required, please contact us.
Any other use or modification of the equipment is not authorized.
Electrical safety
Please make sure there is sufficient distance between upstream and downstream
cable to avoid direct voltage flashovers between the cables.
The USB-Isolator may only be used in enclosed and dry areas.
The device should not be exposed to high ambient temperatures and should not
be operated near heat sources. Please note the restrictions regarding the
maximum ambient temperature.
The power supply unit used to supply the respective USB-Isolator must
guarantee a safe separation of the low voltage side from the grid in
accordance with EN62368-1 and have „LPS“ characteristics.
EMC
Only shielded cables may be used for connecting the isolator.
In this case the isolator meets the noise immunity limits for industrial
applications and the stricter emissions limits for households and small
businesses. Therefore, there are no EMCrelated limitations with respect to the
usability of the devices in such environments.

manual can be found on the corresponding datasheet page on the W&T homepage:

Introduction
USB interfaces in stationary computers unfortunately have the drawback of
having no galvanic isolation for the signal lines.
In many applications in the consumer world this limitation is irrelevant,
since the USB devices connected to the PC are generally supplied through the
bus and do not have any reference to a second ground or to the earth
conductor.
In other areas, such as measurement equipment, process control or medical
technology, galvanic isolation of the connected devices is essential in order
to prevent ground loops over the USB lines.
Wiesemann & Theis therefore offers the USB Isolator which is described on the
following pages along with its technical specifications and wiring examples.

USB Isolator 2 kV HS, #33003
Function
The USB-Isolator 2 kV HS #33003 provides galvanic isolation for USB
connections. The isolator is simply inserted into the existing USB connection
and powered by an external power supply.
The isolator of type #33003 isolates Low-, Full- and HighSpeed USB connection
galvanically with an isolation voltage of at least 2,000 V DC.
The bus speed is detected fully automatically.
Supply voltage
The USB-isolator requires an external power supply for powering the
galvanically isolated circuitry of the isolator in addition to the bus-powered
USB device.
A suitable wall mount adapter is included with the isolator, though any 5 V DC
power supply with a USB output can be used as long as it provides an output
current of at least 1 A and fulfills the requirements as outlined in the
safety instructions.
The supply voltage is supplied to the isolatod side via a USB type-C socket.
An appropriate adapter cable for connecting the power supply is also included
with the Isolator.
NOTE
The USB A plug on the power cable must not be connected to a second USB port
on the USB host or hub which is connected to the upstream port of the
isolator. Such a connection would short-circuit the galvanic isolation and
render it useless. A galvanically isolated voltage source is therefore
mandatory.
Display elements
The isolator features two green LEDs for indicating the correct supply voltage
for the isolator. The Power IN LED indicates correct power for the upstream
side from the USB host or hub, whereas the Power OUT LED indicates the correct
power supply of the downstream side. Wiring example Technical data
