ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
NORTECH’S BOOSTER TAGS ARE A SEAMLESS SOLUTION FOR VEHICLE AND DRIVER ACCESS IDENTIFICATION
New KDS-FB cable entry for five round-cable sealing elements
total of 13 cable entries with four frame widths and various divisions for flat and round cables. The latest addition is a pre-configured cable entry with five sealing elements to accommodate round cables. The new variant has a 39 mm x 120 mm frame size. Like all KDSClick cable management solutions, the KDS-FB line is based on a few basic components designed for tool-less assembly and tool-less placement into a frame. Once the one-piece frame is screwed on the opening from outside the enclosure or distribution cabinet, flat or round cables fitted with suitable sealing elements can simply be pushed in from the inside for a snug insertion into the frame slots. TPE gaskets are molded directly into the frames to ensure high, IP66-rated ingress protection.

accompany the popular TRANSIT reader range from Nedap, the tags are ideal for use in staff car parks, for priority vehicle control, industrial site access control, fleet and parking management. Key features include
simultaneous driver and vehicle identification, a reading distance of up to 10m, easy windshield mounting with suction pads and maximum perimeter security. The TRANSIT Prox Booster (120-125 KHz), SMARTCARD Booster (13.56MHz) and SMARTCARD Booster Ultimate
(2.45GHz and 433MHz) enable long range driver based identification. Driver based ID systems, a building access card and in-vehicle booster ensure that a vehicle can never gain access to a secured area unless occupied by an authorised driver. The booster is used in combination with a personal access credential and is an easy to integrate solution for vehicle access, eliminating the need to issue new cards. The booster is placed on the windshield on the inside of a vehicle. When an authorised building access card is
inserted into the booster, it is read and then boosted to the external Nedap TRANSIT reader. Nortech

UNITRUNK SECURES CIBSE APPROVAL FOR MATERIALS SELECTION CPD
recently launched CPD presentation (
http://www.unitrunk.co.uk/news#/news/13 22#news-container), which focuses on the importance of material selection in ensuring a cable management infrastructure that answers performance, service life and cost criteria.
C
Entitled ‘Understanding the Materials Selection Process’, the CIBSE accredited presentation is the latest in a series of CPDs from Unitrunk, reiterating the company’s reputation for training and best practice. Unitrunk already works with colleges to provide cable management sessions for trainee electrical installers and delivers training for electrical
contractors both on site and within the company’s dedicated training suite. The materials selection CPD is designed for both building services consultants and electrical installers to help them understand the benefits and limitations of different cable management materials and specify the right system to answer the needs of the project.
The CPD outlines the criteria that specifiers need to consider when selecting cable management, such as whether the system will be installed indoors or outside, in a coastal or corrosive environment. The presentation explores corrosion rates for zinc and provides a corrosion map of the UK, highlighting the locations where the durability and service life of the system are most at risk.
It also explains the difference in galvanising processes used for each system type, explaining how each type of metal finish is formed and clearing up ambiguities in common definitions that can lead to incorrect specification.
Finally the presentation outlines common sources of corrosion, including white rust, bi-metallic corrosion and zinc whiskers, before summarising the commercial and practical benefits of each type of finish.
