Visual Infrared Thermometers
F
luke has announced a price reduction for the high- end VT04 and VT04A Visual Infrared
Thermometers, troubleshooting tools with an infrared heat map which offer high resolution as well as temperature alarms and time-lapse features. The Fluke VT04 manufacturer’s recommended price is now £399 and the VT04A is £369. Fluke Visual IR Thermometers fill the gap for when a single-spot temperature
reading is not enough and a high-
resolution thermal image is more than users need: the one tool combines the visual insight of a thermal imager, the visual images of a digital camera, and the point-and-shoot convenience of an IR thermometer. Using the VT04 or VT04A is far faster for conducting inspections of electrical, industrial, HVAC/R and automotive
applications than an infrared
thermometer, which requires multiple readings and manually recorded results. The Fluke VT04 and VT04A offer a wide 28°x28° field of view for scanning and up-close evaluation and sharp images.

introduced in 1993, there have been continued maintenance and upgrades for ETS. The latest generation ETS 5 is a completely redesigned tool with many added functions. It meets the demand for greater user-friendliness, more powerful technology and bigger cost savings. With the ETS5 it is now possible for the first time to work with all media without exception - not just wired media (Bus line, Powerline and Ethernet/IP), but now also wireless radio frequency (KNX RF) media. It is therefore possible to use ETS to parameterise and set up KNX RF devices from various manufacturers – a major advantage when upgrading existing buildings with KNX.

New true RMS DMM, AC/DC current clamp and insulation tester
unique clamp meter in their range of multimeters and clamp meters that also has an insulation tester built-in. The CMi210 is a high-spec insulation clamp meter, providing a true RMS measurement of AC current up to 1500A and AC voltage up to 750V as well as insulation tests to 6G Ohms with 5 test voltages from 50V to 1000V. The CMi210 is ideally suited to anyone carrying out general testing and maintenance in service and installation organisations. The new design replaces three instruments in a single handheld design saving money, space and weight in a tool kit. The large LCD displays the results clearly and a remote test probe with built-in test button is available for faster testing. With the built in AC/DC clamp there is no need to break into the circuit to measure current allowing for faster and safer testing. The CMi210 has all the same test functions you would expect to find on a high specification multimeter with the added benefit of temperature measurement.

cean Optics has introduced a new substrate for Raman spectroscopy applications.
Surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS) substrates are highly sensitive, stable and reliable,
delivering precise trace-level Raman spectroscopy
measurement in applications ranging from chemical and explosive agent detection, to authentication, contaminant screening and quality control in production environments and the laboratory. Using precisely controlled gold nanoparticles, Ocean Optics SERS substrates amplify very weak Raman signals by many orders of magnitude. The result is fast, repeatable SERS measurements for the identification and quantification of SERS-active analytes. Detection at the parts per billion, and even parts per trillion,
level are
possible. Ocean Optics’ unique SERS substrate manufacturing method results in affordable mass production with high repeatability and customization options. Standard substrates are microscope slide format with a 5 mm diameter active area.

Owner, Howard Sheldon, made two major decisions at the outset which were to invest in PSL Datatrack production management/business administration software and a high speed Citizen A20 CNC lathe. In both cases Howard recognised the importance of investing in the highest quality software and production equipment. With using PSL Datatrack he knew there would be no learning curve having
implemented PSL Datatrack at his father's sub-contract
engineering company. Howard knew that the software's ability to significantly reduce administration time and improve production efficiency were essential to get his own business off to a flying start. Investment in this type of business administration software is often considered too big a cost for a start-up however PSL Datatrack provided Howard with valuable advice on how to apply for available grants. Howard knew that any further investment in PSL Datatrack could be built up over a period of time, because the system is modular.

Noncontact temperature monitoring
aytek and Ircon pyrometers ensure exact temperature monitoring of all processes in the production of photovoltaic cells and modules. Noncontact measurement of the infrared radiation is an
R ideal solution especially for high-temperature
processes, difficult-to-access measuring points such as vacuum chambers, and for products that must not be contaminated or mechanically damaged. The comprehensive sensor portfolio of both brands enables the implementation of a long-term stable temperature control as well as the efficient use of energy and valuable resources.
silicon production (Siemens process),
In polycrystalline high-
performance pyrometers with a variable focus and very small measurement spots monitor the temperature of the slowly growing rods for days. They are unaffected by interferences such as contamination of the process reactor window and thus ensure high reliability. Since the atmosphere contains hydrogen, the pyrometers are enclosed in special explosion-proof housings.
