DIGITALMULTIMETER
Keysight Technologies
Keysight Technologies
has announced two
new handheld digital
multimeters (DMMs).
The U1280A and U1240C
Series handheld DMMs
are extremely rugged and come with an
extended battery life of 800 and 400
hours respectively. Both are certified to
IP 67 for complete protection against dust
and immersion of water up to 1m, and are
capable of withstanding up to a 3m drop.
With 60,000-count display resolution,
the U1280 Series 4.5-digit handheld DMMs
offer the precision and accuracy needed for
installation and maintenance work.
The U1240C Series 4-digit handheld
DMMs come with 10,000-count display
resolution and provide a broad range of
measurement functions for installation
and maintenance work in industrial
facilities.
ACTIVE FILTERS
Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric
has announced
the availability of
the AccuSine PCS+
and AccuSine PFV+
active filters.
AccuSine PCS+ is a flexible, high-
performance active filter that stabilises
electrical networks, providing ultra-
fast, extremely accurate harmonic
cancellation, power factor correction
and load balancing. It exceeds all
harmonic standards worldwide and is
the only harmonic filter in the world
to have THD(I) or THD(V) set points (it
provides 3% THD(I) when 3% impedance
and filter output is greater than 50%
of its rating). Unlike passive filters,
AccuSine PCS+ cannot be overloaded
and is best applied as a system-wide
solution to provide dynamic output that
adjusts as the load changes.
PLASTIC PIPE LOCATOR
Subsurface Instruments
The AML PRO
from Subsurface
Instruments
uses ultra-high
radio frequencies
to find differences in
densities. This offers the
best method for locating PVC
and PE pipes, as well as nearly any
other object that has an edge.
Weight just 1.1kg, the AML PRO
features new microprocessor
intelligence and patented radio wave
technology in a durable ABS housing.
It also comes with a rechargeable
lithium battery and noise isolating
headphones. Other features include
a backlit display, GPS plotting and
tracking, 32 sensitivity settings, a
digital levelling meter and a digital
targeting indicator.
SPRINGCONTACTS
Treotham Automation
The ilme SQUICH
CMSH 830V inserts
are spring contacts
that need no tools for
connection and allow
the tightening of the
wire to be done by an actuator button.
The fast and simple system can be
used with all types of enclosures. The
inserts are available in 3-, 6- and 10-pole
versions, with two auxiliary poles.
It is a simple system that doesn’t
require any special wire preparation
or tools, except for a 0.5 x 3.5mm
screwdriver. It therefore offers a
reduced preparation and cabling time.
It can be used with flexible and rigid
wires with a cross section between
0.14mm² and 2.5mm². It also offers a
great fastening solution and excellent
resistance to strong vibrations.
POLYCARBONATE ENCLOSURE
NHP
NHP has introduced Fibox ARCA
polycarbonate enclosures designed
especially for use in harsh and demanding
environments.
Manufactured using glass-reinforced
polycarbonate, this new combination is as
strong as steel without any risk of corrosion,
and at one-sixth of the weight. This means
extended lifetime and increased possibility
of one-man installation. The rugged ARCA
range is also high-impact and UV resistant,
aesthetically pleasing and provides excellent
protection against vandalism.
With no requirement for complicated
tools courtesy of patent pending, easy-to-
use DIN-rail frame set design and innovative
lockable inner door, customisation is easily
achieved either on site or in the factory. Due to the polycarbonate based
material there is no hazardous dust or swarf residue produced when drilling/
cutting, ensuring it is safe and simple to install.
