SENSORS Monitor Your Data – Any Time, Anywhere Labcal PRO


he Labcal PRO from Labfacility is fully characterised for Pt100 sensors and all major thermocouples J,K,N,T,E,R,S and B.


T (J,K,N,T,E,R,S and B). Exceptionally


stable automatic cold junction compensation with a rejection of 100:1 is incorporated for thermocouple ranges.


There are four input ports, two for thermocouples and two for 3 or 4 wire Pt100 sensors; the instrument automatically recognises 3 or 4 wire configurations. The Labcal PRO can accept two Pt100 sensors and/or two thermocouples of similar or different types


The


achine to Machine (M2M) is here to stay, whether it be smart metering, data collection for compliance reasons or inventory management. This ‘Internet of Things’ telemetry technology offers rapid payback, delivering operational, environmental and financial benefits, from cutting delivery miles, to reacting in good time to warnings of machinery breakdown, leakage, theft, run-outs and safety breaches. Powelectrics award-winning solutions are proven globally, in businesses as diverse as Royal Mail, Air Products, Yorkshire Water and Avanti Gas.

Dave Oakes, Powelectrics Sales Director explains, “Businesses need to help their customers’ save time and effort and add value to existing services. People want the convenience of accurate, real-time data, wherever they are. Powelectrics telemetry solutions gather data from sensors and machines, delivering it to where it is needed - a smart phone, our purpose-built platform or integrated into the customer’s existing software.”


measured


temperature can be displayed directly from one of the inputs or differentially between similar or different inputs. Differential temperature and the two individual channel temperatures are displayed simultaneously. Individual calibrated sensors can have up to 10 appropriate calibration values programmed into the Labcal PRO. The instrument then digitally self- calibrates to the associated probe over the range embraced in the calibrated values used.

Affordable, Reliable and Flexible Telemetry One great advantage of Powelectrics ‘Metron’ telemetry devices is that you can use a single device and SIM card to monitor multiple sensors, offering great economy.


Metron devices can use mains, battery or solar power. They will send readings at user-defined


intervals, as well as on alarm to a computer or mobile phone and they have an integral display, which helps with setup and test, as well as replacing costly local gauges.


Powelectrics user-friendly data collection and viewing platform, ‘MetronView’ is easily ‘badged’ with


corporate colours and logos, so it appears as your own and offers bespoke reports and data exports to suit the way you work. Data can be integrated to existing systems or even hosted on your own server, or “micro sites” can be created quickly and affordably to present data in your preferred format.

Drop-in Replacement for Acu-Trol® pH and ORP Probes


potable water applications. The S465 series was designed expressly as a direct fit replacement for existing Acu-Trol pH and ORP probes. Constructed of durable PPS, S465 probes offer improved chemical resistance. Additionally, Sensorex uses a higher volume of its proprietary polymer sensor reference gel for longer service life. Sensorex’s advanced sensor technology delivers accurate measurement over a range of 0-14 pH or -1000–1000mV for ORP. The probes are suited to a variety of applications with a temperature range of 0-80°C and a pressure maximum of 100psig (standard de-rating applies). The threaded ½” NPT connection

modular safety control system to include the new SICK FX3-MOC Drive Monitor, promising increased flexibility for safe operator intervention through a wide range of drive safety functions to reduce machine downtime and aid productivity.


Supporting all standard encoder and motor feedback interfaces, the new SICK FX3-MOC Drive Monitor is ideal for a wide variety of stationery and mobile machine safety applications, especially for machines that require frequent


intervention where maintaining a controlled speed is beneficial to continued safe operation. For example, the high-performance drive monitoring of the SICK FX3-MOC enables an operator to reach into a machine at reduced risk without having to power off. The Drive Monitor can also be used on Automated Guided Vehicles alongside SICK safety laser scanners to monitor vehicle movements.
