Saelig’s New Fault Tracker for Complex Problems
Pittsford, NY — Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced FTR-Birdie, described as a simple-to-use, self- contained electrical test and fault- finding logger which records and dis- plays all on/off voltage changes at its 16 inputs. Applications include mon- itoring, logging, and fault finding for
ufacturing and process control equip- ment, and railway signaling systems, usually have many inputs and out- puts, and many internal connections with PLCs, contactors, switches, trips, and controls. Finding the cause of malfunc-
tions with conventional multimeters is a tedious, time-consuming task, especially if the fault is intermittent. FTR-Birdie is designed to be left on- site for such situations, recording the activity for as long as necessary. It contains an internal battery for up to 50 days of operation, but it is also supplied with a 110V power adaptor.
The recorded data can be down- loaded to any Windows-equipped PC using the serial or USB cables included, and the results displayed on-screen. The software provided includes a search feature that enables the user to specify a particu- lar combination of inputs, thus quickly locating fault incidents. The instrument is housed in a
compact, rugged, yellow polycarbon- ate shock-resistant case that meas- ures 9.85 x 6.5 x 2.4-in. (250 x 165 x 61mm) and weighs just 2-lb (0.9kg). The inputs are double-insulated with interlocked access for addition-
al safety. The instrument is manufac-
tured in Europe by Laplace Instru - ments, designers of high quality industrial test equipment. It is sup- plied complete with a 110V adapter, 2 x “D” cells, FaultTracker software, RS-232 cable, USB-serial adapter cable, protective padded sleeve, and
an operating manual. Contact: Saelig Company, Inc., 1160-D2 Pittsford-Victor Road,

control systems, security systems, heating and ventilation systems, pro- duction machinery, and lift control gear. The unit can quickly pay for itself by solving expensive produc- tion-line-down situations in complex control systems, just like a “Black Box” accident recorder. FTR-Birdie can be connected to a
maximum of 16 key points within an electrical system under test. The solid- state, isolated input channels are fused for maximum reliability and safety, and the input on/off status of each line is displayed by bright LED indicators and on an LCD display. The instrument accepts a wide
input range of voltages for monitor- ing, from 12V to 240VAC/DC, with- out any need to program, select, or configure the inputs. The unit cap- tures the time and date of up to 32768 line events (auto stop or over- write) on 16 lines, which can later be replayed step-by-step for evaluation. The display shows the line states and the previous 40 changes that have occurred, so it is easy to see what preceded fault conditions and under- stand exactly what happened within the control system. Today’s electrical systems, such as heating and venti- lation controls, boiler controls, man-
High-Bright TFT Module
Orlando, FL — Microtips Technology is introducing its new high brightness 7.0-in. (177.8mm) TFT. The powerful 1000nit automotive grade LED back- light is bright enough to view in direct sunlight conditions, bringing the LCD to life in any application.
