Ultra-Rugged PDA Features MIL-810F Compliance

American Industrial Systems (AIS) has introduced an ultra-rugged mobile PDA. The device features MIL-810F Environmental Engineering compliance, MIL-461F Control of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility ratings; designed for use in adverse conditions. The rugged PDA features a 3.7in Transflective TFT LCD screen, providing vibrant colour and sharp text in all environments, including direct outdoor sunlight, suitable for running applications and reading documents.

An integrated resistive touchscreen provides input and control flexibility for applications such as GPS navigation, testing applications and communication. There is a built-in 802.11 b/g/n WLAN module, Bluetooth V2.0 +EDR, GPS/Gallileo receivers and 3G GPRS modules for increased range and tracking information. AIS military-rated rugged PDA is suited for military, warehousing, transportation, logistics, field-construction and industrial-automation usage.

The rugged housing has been rated to IP67 dust and waterproof standards, completely sealing against dust and capable of submersion into water up to 1m. It also features a range of -20 to 60C with a storage temperature of -40 to 70C, following MIL-810F high- and low-temperature test standards. MIL-810F shock-, vibration-, drop- and humidity-test standards are all met by the housing. Custom connectors cover the 2X RS-232, 2X USB Type A, USB Mini type B, RJ-45, headphone and microphone audio, Micro SD, and compact flash ports, sealing them to the IP67 standard.

Powering the unit is a Marvell PXA270 624MHz processor and 256MB RAM, which offer high reliability and low power consumption. Windows CE 5.0 or Windows Mobile 6.1 are available preloaded onto the unit. Optional accessories for the Mobile PDA include extended battery module, docking station, external military connector box, vehicle-mounting fixtures and military carrying bags.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
