KPSI 380 Submersible Temperature Transducer

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) is announcing for release its latest new product – the KPSI 380 Submersible Temperature Transducer. This new product leads the industry with an accuracy specification of ±0.1°C with stability of ±0.05°C per 12 months.

The KPSI 380 is a digital device that uses either SDI-12 or RS-485 serial-digital interface. It operates on a 6-28VDC supply voltage with an IP-68 and NEMA 6P rating, and is certified to numerous CE qualifications (EN 61000). It features MEAS’ Nickel RTD and ASIC chipset sensors, and is available with optional lifetime lightning protection. It is constructed of a welded 316 stainless steel body, a Delrin nosepiece and custom length polyurethane cable.

The KPSI 380 was originally designed for use by governmental agencies and academic research institutions involved in environmental and surface water monitoring applications such as stream gauging, aquifer characterization, groundwater monitoring and storm water. These applications typically include solar/battery-powered operation. The KPSI 380 will operate with minimal current drain, and the ability to use multiple sensors with a single data recorder. As an SDI-12 compliant device, you can configure up to 10 transducers on a single SDI-12 bus. With optional RS-485 interface, it could be utilized in applications such as dam operations, thermoelectric water discharge, aquaculture/egg hatcheries, natural gas hydraulic fracturing and mining operations.

Measurement Specialties acquired Pressure Systems, Inc. (PSI) in September 2010. Measurement Specialties will continue to develop, manufacture and service the highly accurate level measuring instruments that Pressure Systems is renowned for in the environmental and municipal markets.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

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
