EMKA Releases Agent E Electronic Lock System

EMKA has introduced the Agent E range, an electronic lock solution that comprises a unitary electronic release swing handle with battery power. Installation is said to be simplified, and either individual radio key unlocking or central operation is enabled. This radio-controlled swing handle does not need hard wiring and may be installed on individual cabinets or large applications with many suites of cabinets. The EMKA Agent E Manager remote software offers the possibility of wireless data transfer via an integral radio module, whereby data can be transferred to a control station and/or master office.

This enables the release of handles to be actioned remotely as well as control event logging. In a retrofit application, for example, it is a simple matter of replacing the existing mechanical lock with an electronic swing handle, with no wiring necessary. This is possible because of the low-consumption technology, which allows two AAA batteries to last approximately three to four years in normal use. The EMKA Agent E wireless lock programme may be initialised and updated via a laptop or a handheld PC, whereby the associated software changes and protocol updates can be effected.

The Agent E Wireless lock system from EMKA is suitable for integrating decentralised single cabinets into a core access control system with expandability into additional installation equipment or for retrofit to update old equipment for integration within an updating programme. The system is upgradable from Basic to Professional and Superior. Basic operation is by means of a personal micro transmitter - similar to a car radio key - which is configurable to a master key plan and offers USB memory download of who, when and where. In addition, online systems enable the remote configuration of all handles, the reading of door status, remote handle opening and event memory readout.

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.
