Aperta IP Multi-Way Door Entry Solution from ESP
E
SPs’ Aperta IP PoE access control range brings to market high spec door entry solutions that are quick
and easy to install and suitable for a wide range of projects. From large apartment blocks to small commercial properties and domestic dwellings, the range has been designed to offer more flexible installation and improved performance compared with traditional ‘2-wire’ and ‘4-wire’ systems. At the top end of the range is the Aperta IP Multi Way Outdoor Station which offers a range of features and benefits, including simple PoE installation, HD video, IP65 ingress protection and user-friendly 4” GUI display. The system is powered by a PoE switch and includes proximity fob and keypad function to release connected door locks, making it an ideal system for buildings housing multiple apartments or offices - up to 200 individual apartments or offices can be accommodated per outdoor station. For larger projects than this, contractors and specifiers are encouraged to contact ESP’s dedicated technical team for further information (
design@espuk.com) The Aperta IP system is powered by the ClickSmart+ app, which gives control of the whole Aperta IP range. App functions include call receive from the outdoor station with clear 2-way audio and video; lock release to allow access to the property; snapshot to mobile phone and monitor playback for missed events (requires microSD card installation). The outdoor station is manufactured from an aluminium alloy offering a robust housing design solution with a high impact rating. It features a High-Definition camera and full duplex audio to provide clear communication during a visitor call. The Aperta IP range includes 7” monitors, available in a black or white housing option and featuring
a slimline, contemporary design. They offer Wi-Fi and LAN connection to support the various functions of the ClickSmart+ app, including the ‘Call Divert’ feature, which transfers calls to the app when a visitor calls from the outdoor station. The monitors incorporate a user-friendly touch screen GUI monitor and offer full High-Definition live view from the outstation’s camera, as well as duplex audio. Monitors also include a record function (microSD card required). All devices are connected together via PoE switches, making installations convenient by removing
the requirement to have a power supply per device. Unlike other options on the market, the Aperta IP door entry system does not require programming software to configure the system.

EXPANSION OF AWARD-WINNING VALVE RANGE
www.espuk.com
ollowing the launch of the innovative Pegler ProFlow PICV 1600, just two years ago, the industry has now come to rely on the unique benefits its technology offers. As a result, Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems, the manufacturer at the forefront of valve advancements, is now excited to be launching
a new member to the Pegler Valve range. Introducing the Pegler ProFlow PICV 1500, which not only benefits from the trusted Pegler technology but also provides an equal or approved solution to demanding project costs. The award-winning Pegler ProFlow 1600 Valve range utilises innovative technology to address whole project costs from specifiying, installing, balancing and maintaining a HVAC system. This technical knowhow has been utilised in the development of the 1500. Addressing the needs of contractors and the upfront installation costs, The Pegler ProFlow 1500 provides a combined pressure independent control valve with direct flow measuring in one body. It operates independently of changes in system pressure and boasts an integrated in-line fixed orifice Venturi. This allows direct verification of pre- setting and actual flow operation, taking the guess work out of measuring the flow further downstream to verify or adjust settings. In addition, a new fast flush cap has been developed for simple valves/ cartridge access and removal prior to flushing. “The Pegler ProFlow PICV Range is already a game changer in the industry with many leading specifiers choosing the 1600 for their projects,” said Sindar Singh, Product Line Director for Valve Technology, Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems. “We saw a gap in the market for providing a high- quality product that addressed industry needs and offered flexibility when securing projects. The new Pegler ProFlow 1500 is a welcome addition to the range which is ultimately designed to be a highly advanced compact and cost-effective dynamic valve, providing contractors with a viable option for a range of projects.” The new Pegler ProFlow 1500 has a range flexibility of DN15 to DN50 and offers a PN25 pressure rating. Its location of test points also allows direct flow measuring utilising the built-in venturi technology. Both direct flow rates and differential pressure loss can be verified using the Pegler ProFlow BC3 balancing computer. “The continued growth of our valve offering is a testament to our work and understanding of the differing needs and environmental pressures on the HVAC industry,” said Sindar. “The Pegler Proflow range is a comprehensive range of balancing valve technology such as modular systems, actuators and static valves to name a few. We are proud to driving valve innovation and supporting our customers with products, systems and solutions that enable their projects to be more efficient, effective and ultimately last the test of time.” The Pegler ProFlow 1500 PICV is available with a full range of connections utilising VSH Xpress, providing flexible installations in any desired position and due to its design, the valve can be installed directly onto bends, reducers and flexible hoses. Pegler, a renowned heritage brand, has been a pioneering force in the industry, delivering reliable, innovative solutions, and has been manufactured in the UK for over 120 years. Its expertise and legacy exemplify the UK’s commitment to excellence in Valve technology, which is evident in its latest Pegler ProFlow range.

Unicrimp offers an extensive range of fire-safe metal cable clips
U
nicrimp, part of the Scolmore Group of companies, offers an extensive range of cable accessories. Last year the company extended its range of 18th edition compliant fire-rated Metal Twin and Earth Cable Clips to include red and white options.
The 18th Edition wiring regulations stipulate that cable support systems must be constructed with materials that will withstand premature collapse caused by direct exposure to heat. There are no applications excluded – trunking, conduit and cabling fixed to surfaces of the building or attached to cable support systems must all have fire-resistant supports in place. Part of Unicrimp’s Q-Fire range, the fire-rated T&E Cable Clips are manufactured from zinc plated carbon steel and are available in two sizes – 1-2.5mm and 4-6mm – and in a choice of uncoated or with a grey PPA LSF coating. The LSF coating provides long term protection for metal clips, as well as added protection for the cable during and after installation. They provide installers with an expanded choice of fixing solutions, suitable across a range of applications and environments – helping them to satisfy the latest wiring regulations.
