if you havent already figured this out i will throw in my .02

the isolation switch is used to make the only way to lock the front locker is when the rear locker is locked.
it is a safety deal

An isolation switch could be used to make a compressor or winch run on the extra battery only, thereby not running down the service battery.

as far as install, it seems the ISO switch is wired as the on/off for power to the ARB compressor, the other wiring harness it comes with goes to the front and rear locker switches.
