THERMAL IMAGER AND IR SPOT METER
FLIR Systems has released its TG165 Imaging IR Thermometer, a compact tool that lets the user see invisible heat patterns, measure temperatures and conveniently store images and measurement data for reporting. Built around FLIR’s Lepton micro-
thermal imaging camera core, the TG165 eliminates the blind guesswork of troubleshooting by combining a single spot IR thermometer with the power of a
thermal camera in a compact package. This combination of technologies speeds troubleshooting, making it easy to find invisible hot and cold spots from a safe distance. The TG165’s dual lasers visually mark the edges of what
is being measured and the cross hairs pinpoint the centre point of the measurement area. The TG165 is designed to withstand a two metre drop, making it rugged enough for industrial professionals.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced the first track mountable electronic circuit breaker with physical isolation offering worldwide approvals. The new E-T-A ESS31-T mechatronic circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection against overloads and short circuits for whenever the current in a 24V DC control circuit might exceed the current carrying capacity of the conductor or the rated value of a component. The E-T-A ESS31-T is a fully featured
circuit breaker for equipment protection with an electronic hybrid trip characteristic, which is approved as a UL 1077 supplementary protector and also to EN/IEC 60934, for fixed current ratings from 0.5A to 12A. It ensures globally certified protection of equipment in control cabinets and field components and protects 24V DC control circuits in cabinets designed in accordance with UL 508A. Featuring a single trip curve for all

A new partnership has been signed between CP Automation and DEM Manufacturing, to supply a range of Deltron heavy duty industrial enclosures. Suitable for use in harsh conditions, the new enclosures allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to use electrical equipment in various offshore and marine environments and other wet environments such as food and medical. Rated to a standard ingress protection of IP66 and a maximum of
IP68, the range of heavy duty enclosures protect vital electronic equipment from a host of ingress types - ranging from dust and high pressure jets of water to protection from complete, continuous
immersion in water. Both IP66 and IP68 variants are certified to BS EN 60529:1992 - IP66 for protection from jets of water and dust ingress and IP68 being fully submersible to ten metres for 20 hours. Made of LM24 die cast aluminium, the heavy duty enclosures are well suited for use in a variety of harsh
conditions. These include deep water applications, such as marine as well as the renewable energy sector and offshore wind farms. Water resistant and non-contaminating, the unit features improved chemical resistance to sea water, oil, grease, solvents and fuel. This high level of contaminant resistance makes the unit hygienic for use in the food and medical industries.

Offering a number of special features, Seaward Group has introduced a new mobile app, PATMobile, designed to extend the performance of the PrimeTest 50 and PrimeTest 100 manual testers by providing easy access to a host of special test data handling options. Available for use on Android and iOS devices, the app works with the testers to enable the digital input and storage of test records alongside barcode scanning, label printing, photo tagging and other complementary test functions. The new PATMobile brings enhanced features to the
PrimeTest testers, for low to mid-volume testing, by providing a quick and easy means of recording PAT results. This allows test details to be downloaded for record keeping purposes, stored for future reference

and distributed easily via e mail. The app also allows images of appliances taken on a mobile to be stored against test results and also enables test labels to be printed via Bluetooth connectivity with a compatible printer. For ease of identification of appliances, the new app can also be used to scan barcodes or QR codes. These features improve the management of
test results and enhance traceability, while replacing the need for manual records saves time and eliminates paperwork normally associated with manual PAT testers. As a result, the PATMobile app extends the versatility of these powerful PAT testers.

types of loads, the ESS31-T enables protection of a wide range of 24V DC switch mode powered automation and safety equipment. In the event of a failure, the ESS31-T will shutdown electronically a single faulty output, while allowing all other load circuits connected to the same power supply to continue working as normal. It ensures a controlled stoppage of the machinery and allows efficient troubleshooting - after the problem is solved, the load output can be simply re- activated by a press of the ON/OFF button.

Rittal’s TS 8 isolator door cover, when deployed in tandem with the actuation mechanisms, adjacent door locking and interconnecting rods, fulfils all requirements of the UL 508 A standard. The TS 8 isolator door cover range prevents operators from opening the enclosure and touching live electrical components. The isolator door cover is mounted on the side of the enclosure to which an actuator lever or isolator switch, as the master switch, can be integrated. A complete row of bayed enclosures can be made safe using a single isolator door cover. The door of the neighbouring enclosure is then operated via the adjacent door latch. Easy to assemble, the 125mm wide
isolator door cover can be mounted on either the left or right of the enclosure by a single person. The revised locking mechanism consists of a small number of compact parts, is easy to assemble and can be deployed for all approved actuator levers. Standard side panels can be fitted on the side opening of the isolator door cover with automatic potential equalisation.
