ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
New GSM-PRO2E I / O
communication modules replace GSM-PRO
maintenance of distributed applications via mobile networks. Now, the connection technology specialist replaces the first-generation, same-size GSM-PRO2E and GSM-PRO2E-GPS versions. The new I / O modules so have four relay outputs. But instead of eight, they feature 10 inputs. The I / Os can be configured for digital (24V DC) or analog (0 ... 10V and 0 [4] ... 20mA) signals, as required. If users need more inputs and outputs, they can simply add them themselves by inserting I / O extension modules. The new communication modules moreover feature a counting speed of up to 1000 pulses per second. GSM-PRO2E can automatically notify up to 10 persons per input via text or email. Contacts for individual or group alerts can be selected from an integrated address book.

ndustrial manufacturers needing easier and more secure installation of heavy duty cables will benefit from HellermannTyton’s new reusable clamp. The Ratchet P-Clamp will change how manufacturers install cables because it simplifies the whole process whilst simultaneously leading to users saving time and money. Designed to offer versatility when managing wires, cables and hoses in all environments, the product works both
indoors and outdoors. Its reusable structure allows for the possibility to fix wires, cables, hoses and pipes on a single mount in two separate work steps. The Ratchet P-Clamp can be securely closed by hand to the desired diameter, which complements the release
feature that allows for a non-destructive removal of cables by using a screwdriver. Moreover, its unique ability to be reused in many different environments, allows for installers to save money and also simplifies the maintenance process by removing the need to replace with bolts and screws. The clamp is strong and closes to the exact diameter the installer requires; by easily placing the bundle in and closing by hand, the product rapidly secures the installing process. From the shipbuilding industry to the rail transportation sector, all heavy industry markets will benefit from the
ease of use and adjustability of the Ratchet P-Clamp. Named after the sound it makes when clipped in, it is leading the way for clamps in the heavy duty sector. It is impact modified, heat and UV stabilised and is resistant to chemicals and salt spray – this product is reliable and can be used in most environments.

ZARGES launches fire-proof case to transport lithium-ion batteries safely
However, lithium-ion batteries are considered dangerous goods and are only allowed to be transported in secure containers because the battery may be damaged by improper handling, and in the worst case, a damaged battery may cause a fire. Retailers of these products are now faced with the challenge of safely storing defective batteries or securely sending them back to the manufacturer – without allowing the damaged battery to ignite.
Fireproof padding and absorbent material prohibits fire spread Usually, an alert is raised if smoke is seen escaping from a package holding a battery. However, the ZARGES K470 Battery Box case avoids this from happening. The new dangerous goods packaging is specially designed for transporting and storing a defective or damaged battery in a safe and convenient way. The interior of the case is coated with an intumescent material. In case of fire, the case's interior swells up and prevents the flames from spreading further. The underlying principle: the special absorbent material ensures that solid components are filtered out of the battery gases and that liquid constituents condense on the fibres’ surface. This is how ZARGES’ aluminium cases prevent any leaked flammable gases from igniting.
Further details about the K470 Battery Box:
• Low weight of 11.5 kg • Interior dimensions: 550 x 550 x 220 mm • Cushioning: low thermal conductivity, non-flammable, and non-conductive electrically • Fulfils all provisions of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road • Highly stable, easy to load and unload • Immediately available online here and at specialist retailers nationwide
T
he automotive industry is increasing the use of lithium-ion batteries in response to the current electric car trend. Likewise, such batteries are a central component in e-
bikes and a desirable feature of many modern power tools. This is principally due to the fact that they are relatively lightweight and provide maximum performance, so they are common in drills, electric garden appliances and other tools.
