Products Editor’s Choice Going mobile with FastTest Space saving surge protection
Amtech has introduced FastTest for iPad, included with all purchases of FastTest 2013 - stand alone or as part of an Amtech Office suite. Designed for use with iPad and iPad Mini, it makes the on-site production of inspection and testing certificates easier and as the test results are collected, the data is simply entered into the App on the iPad. Then, when the work is complete, all of the data is synchronised to Amtech’s cloud servers for secure storage. The data from the cloud storage is sim-
ply imported to FastTest on the main computer and the certificates can then be produced for distribution to customers by e-mail or post. The result is that produc- tivity on-site is maximised and the paperwork is quickly completed on return to the office. FastTest for iPad also facili- tates the management of multiple engi- neers on-site. FastTest for iPad makes it easy to create and manage new certificates, or to navi- gate through existing certificates on the iPad. When carrying out re-tests, the previ- ous certificate can simply be downloaded so that all of the core information is already in place to save more time. The status of each report is shown with a single tap and data is easily accessed and entered using a combination of drop- downs and the on-screen keyboard. Notes can be added at any time. Amtech

Enter 225 New heavy load soft starter
Severn Energy & Drives has introduced it’s new soft starter which can achieve starting torques of up to 80% whilst lim- iting current to less than 400%. Designed for challenging industrial pump, compressor and fan applications, the soft starter can control both fre- quency and voltage, and can offer immediate cost savings through electrical energy effi- ciency. By reducing the stress placed on mechanical compo- nents, it also increases life expectancy of equipment. Additional benefits include a small product footprint. Jonathan Jones, director at Severn Energy & Drives, said, “Our soft starters will be of interest to any facility that
The new DEHNconnect DCO SD2 range of space saving terminal blocks from DEHN incorporate integrated surge protection with a width of 6mm.
An integral module ejector dis- connects the signal circuit from terminal equipment when required, and the modular discon- nection function allows engineers to manually interrupt the signal circuit for maintenance work. Different arresters are available for protecting two single lines for various signal and voltage appli- cations, including an ATEX and IECEx approved arrester that pro- tects intrinsically safe measuring circuits and bus systems. The range can protect measur- ing and control circuits and bus systems, and features a maxi- mum impulse current carrying capability Imax up to 20kA. It
also includes a low voltage pro- tection level, which is suitable for terminal equipment.
The arresters are well suited for use in industrial environments at information technology signal inter- faces of automation, measuring and control as well as bus systems. DEHN

Liquid tight flexible conduit
Flexicon’s new liquid tight flexible con- duit LTPLFH has an IP rating of up to IP69k and a low fire hazard rating. As a low fire hazard product, LTPLFH is highly flame retardant, has low smoke emissions, low toxicity, is halo- gen, sulphur and phosphorous-free and is self extinguishing.
It has a galvanised steel core, which
wants to improve the efficiency and performance of motor driven equipment, and their small footprint makes them par- ticularly attractive when space is at a premium, so we antici- pate a lot of interest from the offshore industry.” Severn Energy & Drives

provides a high mechanical strength and a low fire hazard (LFH) polyolefin outer sheath that is oil resistant. The conduit has also been vibration and shock tested to EN 61373 and can withstand tempera- tures from -25°C to 90°C. LTPLFH is suitable for any applications
where low fire hazard performance is required, such as public buildings or any area where the public has access. It has ‘Authorised for use’ status on
the London Underground Approved Products Register and offers compli-
ance with LU standard 1-085 for limited and dispersed applications. When combined with Flexicon’s ATEX and IECEx EX d barrier gland, LTPLFH is also suitable for hazardous areas. It can be used for Ex d, Ex e and Ex t applications, in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas where group A, B or C gases are present, and Zones 21 and 22 where explosive dust may be present. LTPLFH is available in diameters rang-
ing from 16mm to 32mm, with coil lengths in either 10m and/or 25m. Flexicon
