FLIR Extends Its Compact Infrared Camera Range and Launches Two New Well-Equipped Entry-Level Infrared Cameras

Infrared cameras detect and measure heat which develops in virtually all electrical, electronic or mechanical applications. Applied on a regular basis, infrared images improves product output quality, avoids cost-intensive failure of equipment and systems and contributes to saving energy. FLIR compact cameras are aimed at entry level users as well as at frequent users for a broad set of applications. Priced from 4.595 €, the complete compact range will become a strong landmark on the growing handheld infrared camera market. The new models are also available and marketed in a version for building and construction applications.

Highlights of the now three-version-strong FLIR compact camera series are an integrated digital camera, double LED lights enabling to work in darker areas and scalable Picture-in-Picture image display. The Picture-in-Picture function allows overlaying and scaling of an infrared image on the visual image in real-time at the push of a button. This enables an easier identification and interpretation of inspected objects.

The i-Series compact cameras measure temperatures from -20°C to 350°C. They are dust- and water splash-proof, shock-resistant and equipped with a field replaceable battery enabling up to five hours of uninterrupted use. Strong ergonomics, intuitive command buttons and a clear user menu available in 21 languages provide outstanding user comfort. At only 600 g, a stand-alone feature on the market, the FLIR i-Series is a truly portable instrument, that is also suitable
for use in tough on-site and field conditions.

The FLIR compact camera range is now available in three versions: the FLIR i40 with a 120x120 IR resolution, the existing FLIR i50 features a 140x140 pixel IR resolution, and the new top of the range FLIR i60 carries a 180x180 pixel IR resolution. FLIR infrared cameras are compatible with the FLIR Reporter 8.3 software, a wizard-based reporting suite with advanced image processing and temperature calculation functions. Images made by all FLIR infrared cameras come in a standard
.JPEG format, making proprietary vision software redundant.

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.
