ILLUMRA Door/Window Sensor Saves Energy

ILLUMRA, the leader in wireless battery-free controls, announced the release of a new solar powered wireless Door/Window Sensor. This new product maximizes the energy savings of heating and air conditioning systems by providing wireless status of windows and/or doors. The breakthrough technology may be seen at the GreenBuild Show in Chicago, Illinois (EnOcean/ILLUMRA booth #583).

Energy waste can be reduced by 20 to 60 percent by disabling blowers and/or adjusting temperature setpoints in HVAC systems when windows and doors are left open. The wireless Door/Window Sensor is a key component to reducing energy waste in hotel, condominium and dormitory buildings.

“We are excited to help building operators reduce energy waste through the use of the easy to install, tamper resistant, maintenance free window/door sensors,” said Jan Finlinson, Director at ILLUMRA. “Energy management professionals can leverage this product to reduce operating costs and the environmental impact of the buildings for which they are responsible.”

The wireless battery-free sensor communicates using the EnOcean protocol to a variety of compatible actuator and controller products: thermostats, relays, room controllers; as well as BACnet and Ethernet gateways for integration with energy management systems. The sensor also includes on board energy storage that can operate the device in darkness for several days.

The ILLUMRA light sensor is small, measuring only 3.86 x .62 x .81 inches (98.04 x 15.75 x 20.57 mm) and attaches easily to doors and windows (peel and stick). The ILLUMRA light sensor is made of recyclable plastic, is RoHS compliant, qualifies for LEED credits and helps buildings comply with International Green Construction Code standard 189.1.

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...
