NEW WHITE PAPER EXPLORES ROLE OF NEXT GENERATION FUSES
NEW LOW COST COMPACT 80 GHZ LEVEL SENSORS
Extended family for water and waste industries V
EGA has extended its proven VEGAPULS family for continuous
level measurement. The new radar instrument series is based on the latest FMCW 80-GHz technology and, thanks to a specially developed radar level microchip and low price, it represents a real alternative to ultrasonic technology. It makes it highly economical for those applications found in the water/wastewater sector, or auxiliary applications in process automation. The compact loop powered radar is available in two versions: as compact model with a cable connection housing and as standard model with fixed cable connection (IP68).
With features including:
- Strong focusing - ensuring measurement without the jumps - No dead zones - for measurement in confined spaces - Low power - for remote sites and telemetry - Chemicals and EX approval
The compact loop powered radar is available in two versions: as compact model with a cable connection housing and as standard model with fixed cable connection (IP68) .
Handles build up Sensors constantly struggle with the problem of build-up, maintenance call outs to ultrasonic devices ‘needing a wipe’ are widely reported in the sector. This is because contamination or condensation on the ultrasonic sensor face can greatly affect the reliability of the measurement signal and enlarge the dead zone. Using radar technology, the situation is different, a combination of the measuring principle and optimized signal processing enables these radar sensors to ignore interference caused by build-up on their antenna system, which means they are immune to the effects of
condensation and highly resistant to dirt and normal build up levels, reducing nuisance outages and cleaning.
Optional controllers and Bluetooth built in
The radars also have an optional controller
for local display, extra outputs and level alarms. Both sensors and controllers can be easily and safely adjusted via Bluetooth with a smartphone or tablet – ideal for harsh environments, operational safety or Ex areas.

Helps Maximize Safety in Advanced Battery Systems. Advanced battery systems need advanced circuit protection solutions for a variety of reasons - ranging from improving battery safety and performance to encouraging greater market acceptance of Electrical Vehicles (EVs). “The high current levels and power densities in next-generation battery systems demand equally high-performance, highly precise safety components,” writes Sensata’s Markus Beck, the White Paper’s author. “If the safety systems do not work quickly and reliably, the entire battery system can suffer a catastrophic failure that could seriously impact the product and its user.” Markus says that ‘catastrophic failure’ includes ‘thermal runaway’ – better known as fire: “The increasing level of publicity given to EV fires has brought more attention to the danger, which is why safety concerns must be addressed in order to avoid adversely impacting public EV adoption.” This new whitepaper covers the ever-increasing demand for improved stored energy systems, the role of fuses and contactors, as well as faster and more precise next generation technology solutions for protecting EV batteries and power systems. It shows that only by designing systems that are robust and safe, and using high-performance components such as fuses and contactors that can handle short circuits, can an EV manufacturer ensure reliability over a given vehicle’s lifetime.

CASELLA HAS ANNOUNCED ITS SCHEDULE FOR COURSES AND WEBINARS FOR 2020
webinars for 2020. The company has aligned a series of one-day courses on Air Sampling and Noise Monitoring in the Workplace, hosted at its headquarters in Bedford. Delivered by expert trainers, they provide managers and safety practitioners with guides to best practice, compliance and regulations. The Introduction to Air Sampling course will run in March, June, September and November, and the Introduction to Noise course will be held in February, May, August and October. Both courses offer attendees a pragmatic guide to best practice, current legislation and the practical use of monitoring equipment, suitable for all levels of experience. In addition, Casella will be running monthly free webinars covering best practices across its core knowledge base and product areas: Introduction to Workplace Noise, Use of SLMs and Noise Dosimeters, Introduction to Personal Dust Monitoring, Setting up Air Sampling Pumps, Introduction to Personal Sampling of Vapours and Gases and Introduction to Hand Arm Vibration. The full schedule of Casella 2020 webinars is available on the Casella website and, registration is free.
