D-Tec Launch New Version Of FireVu

D-Tec - part of AD Group - launched a new version of its award-winning FireVu VSD (Video Smoke Detection) system to offer both CCTV-based smoke and flame detection, at International Firex. A number of key changes have been built into the new model of the NetVu Connected FireVu, which combines VSD with video over IP, for enhanced performance and ease of installation.

The most notable changes implemented, as a result of the FireVu product development programme, include: an advanced flame detection algorithm - for the first time on FireVu - and, crucially, new and improved smoke detection algorithms which also benefit from the increased performance of the unit's chipset. As well as the internal changes, the new 8 channel system, which supports 24 outputs, comes in a much slimmer unit - dropping from 3U to 2U in terms of the rack space required - compared to the original FireVu.

When it comes to ease of installation, a tailored engineering interface has also been created for the new FireVu which should simplify the commissioning process. This will also assist long-term maintenance and system updates can now be provided via the unit's USB port. Said Ian Moore, Managing Director, D-Tec: "The latest, more powerful, FireVu system is a major advance for us".

"It brings together video smoke and flame detection which means that, at a practical level, we can offer customers a layered response, typically alarming on smoke first and then confirming again if fire appears". "The new FireVu also opens up the potential for the application of this capability in dark areas at night where flame rather than smoke will be the most visible sign of an incident".

"Additionally, the more advanced chip architecture - delivered by our sister company ChipWrights - and enhanced detection algorithms should make the latest unit's response to incidents even faster and more accurate than before". Further details regarding D-Tec and its VSD solutions can be found by visiting the company website.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
