Extronics Launches The iSCAN300 1D and 2D Image Code Reader for Zone 1 & 21 Hazardous Areas

HIGH quality reading of 1D barcodes and 2D Data Matrix ECC200 codes for product traceability, safety and identification.

Congleton, UK, 17th February 2010: Extronics, a leading supplier and manufacturer of intrinsically safe and explosion-proof electrical and electronic equipment, has launched the iSCAN300 Zone 1 image code reader. Certified ATEX II 2 G EEx d IIC T5 or T6 & II 2 D IP66 T85°C or T100°C.

The iSCAN300 reader brings the benefits of efficient manufacturing data control to Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas where it was previously unavailable.

Incorporating the capability to read 1D and 2D codes the iSCAN300 provides a high level of reliability and its high quality images overcomes weak contrasts, misaligned, dirty and poor markings, whether on labels, cartons or directly marked on the product.

Long range and high speed options are available with reading and decoding rates up to 60 images per second. Popular 1D and 2D codes can be read in any orientation.

In addition, the image code readers can be easily selected to meet specific application needs and the integrated controllable LED illumination ensures optimum reading even on curved objects.

Live picture output from the image code reader is available for easy alignment and installation set up. The iSCAN300 is also available with a choice of interfaces as standard including Ethernet to integrate into an existing data environment. The Auto setup feature in the firmware enables the scanner to be configured and optimised in seconds and Ethernet with File Transfer Protocol is established automatically without any specialist operator knowledge.

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

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

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.
