New compact beacon family with impressive features
In recent years WERMA has continuously improved the range of Ex products on offer.  The latest addition is a completely new family of compact beacons.  The new 729 series offers permanent, flashing and rotating LED beacons, additionally available with the enhanced EVS flash version and also the 728 series with its classic xenon flash and finally the 785 with a mechanical rotating mirror beacon. Each of the new Beacons is designed and manufactured to the highest standards. Offering several innovative design solutions, the new range is now offered with a universal mounting bracket for ease of installation.
 
Increasing focus on explosion protection
The chemical and petrochemical industries as well as the mining have long been acutely sensitive to explosion risks, in recent times these dangers and risks have also become more widespread in the food and beverage, metalworking and woodworking industries where in particular explosion risk from airborne dust occurs.

Reliable signalling in gas, dust and low temperature environments
WERMA has been developing products with combined approval for use in both gas and dust applications for many years.  The new ex-proof beacon series 729, 728 and 785 are also approved for use in zones 1 and 21.  By ensuring effective explosion protection even at extreme temperatures down to as low as -50°C, the application possibilities with the new beacons has been significantly increased.

The new 853 LED beacon from WERMA offers an attractive compact square design of beacon which can be used as either a stand alone beacon or connected together can form a traffic light configuration. Five colours are available and the units are IP 65 rated.

Simple to Install
The 853 LED beacon can either be fixed to a wall with four drill holes – or by using the quick-mount bracket supplied with the unit, attach it to the wall  and then simply snap the beacon into place.   The cable can be fed through one of the eight self-sealing membranes and once connected the lens can be clipped onto the base and secured using the four captive quick-release screws.

Monitor machine / workstation activity and efficiency

Quick and easy to install without hard-wiring or complex programming, the WIN system from WERMA provides a simple low cost means of monitoring shop-floor efficiency.  Use as a means to monitor idle time and running time of a machine, or as a “call to action” system for workstations.

The kit can be fitted to existing WERMA signal towers (KS 71/70 series), or it can be installed as a stand alone device without lights.

A transmitter unit fitted to the signal tower sends any signal light status change immediately to a wireless receiver plugged into the USB port of your pc. This data is presented as different visuals with which allows you to monitor the operation and performance of the machine or workstation being guarded by the signal tower.

Arcolectric’s latest addition to its extensive range of Indicators are the new slim profile LED Holders.

With significantly smaller mounting hole sizes compared to the standard range of LED holders, these holders push fit to panel allowing quick and easy assembly.

The 1035 holders are suitable for use with T1 type LED’s (4.5mm) and the 1036 and 1037 for T1 3/4 type LED’s (6 and 6.35mm versions). Maximum panel thickness is 1.6mm.

The LED holders are available with bare LED leads or with wire termination, and can be supplied pre wired for 2, 6, 12, 24 or 28V dc and 125 or 250V ac. The LEDs are available in red, green, blue or yellow as standard, however dual colour options are available upon request. They can also be supplied without LEDs fitted.

This range of LED holders are ideal for use where panel size is at a premium or where a large quantity of LED’s are required to be densely mounted together.

Finder has announced the new 10 Series light dependent relays, which have the ability to control lighting according to ambient light levels. These relays will be of particular interest to designers, specifiers and installers both of lighting and of lighting control systems, and will find applications in the automatic control of exterior lighting around factories, loading bays, schools, offices and similar areas where lighting is required for security or safety reasons during the hours of darkness.

There is a growing need to reduce energy consumption, maintenance and replacement costs by ensuring that essential exterior lighting is lit only during times when the ambient natural light falls below an acceptable level, and it is this requirement that the 10 Series has been developed to address.

The 10 Series relays feature an integral photoelectric sensor combined with innovative light feedback compensation circuitry designed by Finder, which prevents the controlled lighting from ‘hunting’ on and off due to the perceived increase in ambient light when lights are automatically turned on. This feedback capability is achieved by monitoring the effect of the controlled lighting over a ten-minute period, which ensures compatibility with slow starting gas discharge lamps. ON and OFF delay times are reduced to zero for the first three cycles, which aids set up and commissioning and reduces installation time.

The new family of relays includes both single-pole and two-pole output types rated at 16A, and also a miniature type, 10.51, with a single 12A output. The double output 16A 10.32 allows Live and Neutral switching, while model 10.41 has a single 16A NO output for Live switching.  All the relays in the series operate from either a 120V or 230V AC supply.

The ambient light switching level is adjustable in the range 1 – 80 lux, and the relays are capable of switching up to 2.3kW of incandescent or halogen lighting, allowing the switching behaviour to be optimised according to both the needs of the individual application and the physical location of the unit.
