CENTIEL Invests in Service Sales Team L
eading UPS manufacturer, CENTIEL UK, has invested further in its service sales team with the addition of Shane Brailsford as area sales manager. Louis McGarry sales and marketing director, CENTIEL UK confirms: “Over the past 18 months, CENTIEL UK has invested heavily in expanding our service sales team for the benefit of our growing customer base. The addition of Shane Brailsford, based in Derbyshire, will strengthen our resources in the midlands and the north although he has responsibility for the whole of the UK. “Shane will act as an external manager supporting our existing clients as well
New DANLERS Smart ISI range
D
ANLERS have further added to their increasing range of products with a new range of energy-saving Smart PIR occupancy switches, ideal for controlling loads such as lighting.
The products can be commissioned and adjusted by the free-to-download, easy-to-use DANLERS app for both iOS and Android. This is ideal when commissioning multiple lighting controls on a site or for commissioning at a distance or at a height, for example, in a factory environment. The range includes flush-mounted and surface- mounted PIRs for regular height ceilings, such as in offices and rest rooms. There are also high bay PIRs for warehouses, factories and other environments with high ceilings/roofs. DANLERS design and manufacture their products in the UK and offer a wide range of controls, used in lighting and many other applications.

as establishing new business with a focus on service sales, which includes new maintenance contracts, battery replacements, capacitor and fan replacements, decommissioning and the removal of legacy systems which are no longer required.” With over 20 years’ experience working in the power industry, Shane Brailsford joins CENTIEL from Finning UK where he was sales manager for two years. Prior to that, Shane was northern sales manager for Dale Power for two years. He is a fully qualified electrician and has also held managerial project management and operation roles at AVK-SEG and Rykneld Homes.

Energy Harvesting by ZF – Committing to a Sustainable Technology
I
n recent years, the topic of sustainability has gained enormous importance throughout ZF. Our greatest impact worldwide lies in the technologies we provide. Energy harvesting technology is part of this commitment to provide an alternative solution to an ever-increasing world of smart home technology, building automation and industrial installations. ZF’s battery-free and wireless RF pushbutton module is now being celebrated with the launch of ZF’s stamp ‘Energy Harvesting by ZF’. Partners can use ZF’s new stamp to help market their products using the compact generator by highlighting their commitment to a sustainable technology.
Wireless. Battery-free. Maintenance-free. The RF light switch module from ZF is the only one which is directly compatible with the RF standard KNX- RF and it supports the RF standard EnOcean3.0 too.

Enabling smaller and safer medical devices ~ Medical devices require a next generation thermal system ~ H
ealthcare organizations are increasingly moving patients to home care settings to reduce the pressure on traditional healthcare facilities, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this has been a double-edged sword for medical device manufacturers. On one hand, it has meant a boom in the
market for certain home medical devices, but it has also led to greater scrutiny of devices and increasingly stringent safety standards. Here, Andy Selvy, chief system designer at industrial heater manufacturer Watlow, explains how and why medical device manufacturing needs a new approach.
IEC 60601-1-11 standard for medical electrical equipment requires manufacturers of home medical devices to identify product safety risks associated with using their equipment in an uncontrolled environment by untrained users.
Meeting safety standards is sometimes possible with traditional technology, but that technology adds to both the bulk and the cost of medical devices. Device manufacturers understandably want to make devices that are smaller, cheaper and easier to use — goals that are often at odds with safety compliance measures. This is where innovation in thermal solutions, including heaters, sensors, temperature controllers, power controllers and their supporting software can make a difference.
Thermal system safety Many medical devices require heaters to warm gas or liquids, and these require a fair amount of power that increases the possibility of leakage current and hence the risk of electrocution. This is a great example of where stricter standards for home care medical devices exist and how evolving heating technology can better meet those standards.

C.K Tools lights the way with new head torch
C
.K Tools, the trusted choice for trade professionals, has launched a brand-new Wide Field Head Light (T9630) to ensure greater visibility and safety when
accessing wires or cables in dark and confined spaces. The COB LED head light comes with an RRP of £39.00 and four modes of operation – spotlight, wide field, full beam, and dipped beam – providing the versatility needed to suit all manner of environments electricians find themselves in. More importantly, the head light performs at a high CRI (Colour Rendering Index) rating of 80, which when optimised with a combination of 400 lumens of brightness (equivalent to a 40w LED bulb) and 5,700 kelvins of colour temperature (similar to natural light) means it can more closely project the true colour of the object it is shining on – critical when working with coloured electrical wires in dark spaces.
