Floyd Bell’s ground-breaking new Twin Turbo Lighted Alarm is a small (approx. 1″x1″) panel-mount piezoelectric audio alert that emits a daylight-viewable bright light when activated, effectively combining Floyd Bell’s popular Turbo series Alarms with Turbo Light Series Panel Indicators into one convenient multi-sensory alarm device. Available in 7 different tone types, the sound output measures up to an impressive 103dB at 2 feet.
The FPBB RAIL filter from SCHURTER is an extraordinarily slim double-stage, single-phase filter, measuring only 25 mm in width. The attractive space-saving design integrates an optional fuseholder or circuit breaker. Additionally, an overvoltage varistor is available in all three variations. FPBB RAIL: three functions in one ultra-slim housing. Space can be a scarce commodity on a panel, particularly panel designs in control cabinets for industrial machinery.
The RAFI key switch series with mounting hole diameters of 22 and 30 mm is perfect for simple integration in your application. This is ensured even in difficult space conditions, thanks to the low overall height and mounting depth, as well as the RAMO EDGE mounting bracket, which you can use to assemble the operating elements and indicators directly on profiles without an additional housing.
A Signal Conditioner is a device that converts one type of electrical signal into another type of signal. In most cases, this is meant to take a signal that is difficult to read and convert it into one that is more easily readable by most types of instrumentation. Common signal inputs accepted by signal conditioners include AC current and AC voltage, DC current and DC voltage, frequency, process, strain gauge, temperature and more.
The IMO range of UL 1077 Approved Miniature Circuit Breakers have been designed for protection of electrical installations against overload and short circuits and are manufactured in accordance with UL 1077.
Acromag’s new BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules provide an Ethernet interface for analog, discrete and temperature signals. NTE Ethernet I/O models have dual RJ45 ports and a webserver with Modbus TCP/IP communication to monitor or control the internal I/O channels. An integrated DIN rail bus allows connection of up to three NTX expansion I/O modules.
