FUTEK Introduces a New Handheld Display

FUTEK consistently tries to push the boundaries of innovation. Whether it’s their sensors, instruments or accessories, their goal is to design and manufacture the latest high-tech tools for the test and measurement industry. This time their instruments are making a statement.

Today, they introduce their newest handheld portable digital display, the IHH500. FUTEK has invested two years worth of resources to develop this product. And with the new IHH500 design, it stands to replace the current IHH200, IHH300, and IBT100 FUTEK models.

The key to this display is integration. The IHH500 is easily integrated with FUTEK load cells, torque sensors, and pressure sensors, as well as other manufacturers’ sensors. The IHH500 has an input range up to +/- 500 mV/V, but it can also accept amplified output sensors in the range of +/- 12 VDC or up to 30 mA. It has individual relays, and analog voltage and two analog current outputs. And in keeping in mind the that users require versatile instruments, FUTEK Electrical Engineers designed this model to support TEDS, which then allows the IHH500 to switch between different sensors. This makes the IHH500 more efficient than other manufacturers’ existing solutions.

Product Features:
  • Robust – Aluminum housing
  • Neat and Quality exterior finish
  • CE approved
  • RoHS Compliant
  • Transformable to Hand held, Desktop, and wall mount
  • Full control instant software interface
  • 24 Bit internal resolution & up to 19 Bit noise free
  • Up to 4,800 samples per second
  • Output – USB/ASCII Stream/VDC/Current
  • Pelican hard case
Additionally, the IHH500 has a long life expectancy. It uses rechargeable batteries to ensure consistent productivity, and has a battery indicator showing when the instrument is due for a recharge. And it has a larger memory to house the calibration data of up to 14 difference sensors.

All in all, the FUTEK Electrical Engineer Team is proud of the advancements they have made to this portable model and hope that end users find it as practical and effective as they intend for it to be.

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.
