Air Quality Sensor Software Released
Laser Safety Eyewear
LASER COMPONENTS (UK) have introduced the Rio laser safety eyewear providing high quality safety and user acceptance while comfort features make this the perfect laser protective eyewear to fit over a prescription spectacle or as a stand-alone spectacle.
Rio has been designed specifically to meet the demands for safety presented by today's lasers. For example Rio is available EN 207:2009 certified for use with ps and fs Nd:YAG and Ti:Sapphire lasers up to 1.5 J/cm² (M LB 8).
Rio presents a universal laser eyewear solution: a removable ultra soft and flexible nosepiece allows the Rio to fit almost every facial profile comfortably. The temples have a wire core, which enables the user to adjust the temples to their individual preferences. Strategically located metal accents combine aesthetic styling with unparalleled protection
GrayWolf Sensing Solutions (USA) have announced the release of a fully updated version of the core air quality sensor application software: WolfSense AS/PPC/LAP.
This software operates on multiple platforms, including Windows 8 PCs (once officially released). Also connect to WIN XP/7 tablets, netbooks, laptops, to Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and to GrayWolf’s AdvancedSense and WolfPack instruments.
The new/expanded features include enhanced alarms offering high/low warnings plus high/low alarms for each individual parameter and easily set visual and/or audible warnings. Multiple languages (English/French/German/Spanish/Portuguese) have been added with more to come soon. A selection of background screens/wallpaper are now available. Choose a custom look on the tactile, color screen or even import/display your own logo.
Newly added On-board help videos such as user calibration, setting up tripod kits and pollutant pathway measurements can be viewed on the “instrument”, while on-site. Updated On-board sensor tips including Differential Pressure, Formaldehyde and
more are NEW and Carbon Dioxide, TVOCs, Particulate, O3, NH3, H2S, CO and most others are updated. Audio note access is further simplified. Employ this popular, efficient documentation feature easier than ever, with a single tap from the main screen.
New interactive data forms automatically import measurement data, including a “NIOSH Dampness and Mold Assessment Form,” developed for school testing based on NIOSH protocol. GrayWolf can work with you on your own custom form(s).
Lastly, a barometric pressure compensation has been added (automated for AdvancedSense and WolfPack platforms only) and additional data export options which include downloading data to USB keys or other storage media. Our improved user interface includes more features without more complexity because it is designed right. GrayWolf’s prime software development directive is to make the user interface “intuitive, easy, functional, intuitive”!

Gas Sensors Boost Indoor Environmental Quality
Gascard NG OEM infrared gas sensors from Edinburgh Sensors (UK) are ideally suited for applications involving the control of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in commercial, institutional and laboratory buildings. Accurate control of critical indoor environmental parameters such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide levels are not only essential for the well-being and comfort of building occupants, but also have a major impact on energy efficiency.
Using Edinburgh Sensors’ proprietary dual-wavelength infrared sensor technology, the pumped aspiration Gascard NG sensor provides reliable measurement of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas concentrations needed for IEQ applications. Automatic temperature and pressure corrections provide true concentration readings and ensure accurate real-time environmental condition measurements.
With true RS232 communications for control and data logging, along with the option of TCP/iP communications protocol, the Gascard NG can be easily integrated into a wide range of proprietary gas detection systems and multiple sensor architectures. There are also built-in features for multigas and multi-sensor operation together with the flexibility to incorporate additional gas detection technologies.

Reader Reply Card No. Innovation Award for Wireless
Transmitter for Humidity - Temperature - CO2 As the most innovative product in the category "Indoor Air Quality", the wireless transmitter EE245 from E+E Elektronik (Austria) was honored with the "2012 AHR Expo Innovation Award". The prize was presented at the HVAC Trade Show and Conference in Chicago in the United States.
As the jury of this prestigious award is composed of renowned ASHRAE members, this award is confirmation and a motivation for future developments for the sensor specialists at E+E Elektronik.
The criteria of the award was for: innovation, usability, assessed value for the customer and market impact.
The combination of high-end sensors for humidity, temperature and CO2, as seen in a sleek design with the use of advanced wireless transmitter technology was seen as a
special feature of the EE245 by the jury.
Users save time and money by eliminating expensive wiring and also gain flexibility in the selection of appropriate measurement locations. The entire wireless transmitter EE240 series also boasts a very simple configuration of the entire network via a standard web browser without requiring any additional software.

New Low Cost Noise Nuisance Recorder
Stealth, the new low cost Noise Nuisance Recorder (NNR) from Casella CEL (UK), is designed to make it as simple as possible for Local Authorities to monitor complaints about noisy neighbours.
Specialists in the development, manufacture and supply of industrial hygiene, occupational health and environmental monitoring instrumentation, Casella CEL has been mindful of tight budgets and limited public funding in order to manufacture a product that is competitively priced in the market place.
Says Casella CEL Market Manager Tim Turney: “Our new Stealth NNR unit is very small and concealed in its own shoulder bag, limits the chances of noise perpetrators noticing any monitoring activity taking place in adjacent properties.”
Tim continues: “It also could not be easier to set up or to use in a complainant’s property. We have developed a ‘Walk Through’ menu system designed for operators with little or no experience of acoustic instruments.”
Using Casella CEL’s enhanced CEL-630 Series Sound Level Meter technology in a special ‘NNR mode’, the Stealth NNR performs specifically as a Noise Nuisance Recorder rather than a sound level meter. Consequently, no configuration is required and all parameters are measured simultaneously, including logging of the time history for later analysis.
After calibration, a voice note may be recorded and once complete the measurement automatically begins, therefore ensuring that no steps are missed during the process and preventing incorrect set-up of the instrument.
With up to 60 hours of audio recording, incorporating a pre- and post-trigger feature to validate legitimate complaints, the Stealth NNR is expected to become a popular addition to Environmental Health and Housing departments throughout the land.
Casella Insight Data Management Software, which provides an easy-to-use but advanced platform with which to download and analyse data, and to store measurements according to location or complainant, is provided on a complimentary basis with any purchase of a CEL-630 Series kit.
This facility allows time history of measures to be shown in a graph format, clearly indicating points at which audio has been recorded. The audio can then be played back and traced together with a profile of the measured sound pressure levels.
