alluff offers a self-adhesive, capacitive sensor head with IP 64 protection for non-contact, continuous level
detection on non-conductive vessel or pipe outer walls made of glass, plastic or ceramic. The flexible sensor head with a maximum detection
range of up to 850 mm in length can be individually trimmed to length (minimum 108 mm) and easily attached to container walls without additional accessories using the integrated adhesive surface. For polar, aqueous media the wall thickness may be between 2 and 6 mm, or up to 2 mm for non-conductive media such as oil or bulk materials. The sensor is designed for use with type BAE sensor
amplifiers from Balluff. The optional amplifier allows levels to be continually detected over the entire measuring range as analog values (0...10 V, 4...20 mA) or via IO-Link or as minimum or maximum value exceeding. Both the IO-Link and the analog convenience amplifier feature versatile setting possibilities.

ata logging specialists, Signatrol has added to its range of low cost battery powered USB data loggers with the launch of two versions of
RC15H to measure both temperature and relative humidity. Signatrol already offers the RC15T in this range to measure temperature only. The new data logger has been developed to monitoring the temperature and humidity of goods in transit. The RC51TH can be configured for sample rates from 10 seconds up to 12 hours and has a reusable memory of 32,000 readings. The accuracy from -20°C to +40°C is ±0.5°C. The battery life is two years and is user replaceable. The higher specification RC51TH-A is supplied with a three- temperature point and three humidity point. It comes with a UKAS 17025 traceable calibration certificate. Both the RC51TH and the RC51TH-A are available in packs of 10pcs making significant savings on purchasing individually.

in blue, orange and red, these protective boots come in 2 styles and 8 sizes making them a perfect fit for many of our handheld enclosures. Held secure in the boot – essential when you need
R
extra protection – the enclosure is easy to remove. Compatible enclosures are available in various sizes, with or without battery compartment, recessed or flush top, and some with removable end panels plus optional sealing gasket to achieve IP65 rating. Enclosures can be modified to your exact
requirements with CNC machining, screen printing
and EMI/RFI shielding. Cut outs for the protective boot may also be made to your exact specifications. Contact

Slimline motor controllers create space in enclosures
mall drives for machines and equipment are typically powered up to 9.0 A and are protected by conventional motor circuit breakers. However, when space in the enclosure is limited, it is very difficult to find room for significant numbers of protective components. Rittal’s new motor controllers for its RiLine Compact power distribution system offers a sophisticated solution. To help engineers, Rittal has also produced a 3D configurator that reduces the time required to generate Compact RiLine busbar systems. Following the successful launch of the busbar system “RiLine Compact” at the beginning of the year, Rittal is now
S
expanding the product range. Until now, the small 125-A-max busbar system consisted entirely of shock-hazard-protected boards, which form the basis of the system, along with assembly components such as connection adapters for busbar infeed and component adapters for the easy set-up of switchgear and protection devices produced by other manufacturers. Rittal will shortly be launching new motor controllers into the range. These can be fitted directly and easily onto
the board in a one-step installation, to minimise the time and effort spent on wiring. A compact solution for small spaces Rittal offers motor controllers in three staggered current ranges: 8 A/2.4 A/8 A. These combine the functions of
direct starter and reversing starter within one single device. Its slimline profile - just 22.5 mm wide - is particularly impressive and frees up around 50 percent more space
compared to the standard 45 mm-wide switching device in the range, and as much as 75 percent more space compared to the 90 mm-wide reversing combinations. Hybrid technology to impress The three-phase motor controller is a high-performance hybrid switching device with a current monitoring function, offering a longer lifespan and low-loss operation.
