CalAmp Announces Three New Wireless Devices for Mobile Resource Management

CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ : CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, announced today that it is introducing three new GPRS wireless communications products for Mobile Resource Management (MRM) applications at the CTIA Wireless Conference and Exhibition in New Orleans. These products enable CalAmp to meet international market requirements. These new products are designed to provide market-leading price and performance levels for customers in South Africa, South America and India addressing local fleet management, insurance, trailer tracking and stolen vehicle recovery verticals.

These new additions to CalAmp's MRM product portfolio include:
  • LMU-600 - inconspicuously installed, high value product targeted for the track-and-trace and stolen vehicle recovery markets. The LMU-600 comes equipped with a fixed harness, optional 200 mAh back up battery and up to 2 I/O ports.
  • LMU-1175 - moisture-resistant product for motorcycle, recreational vehicle and trailer tracking markets. The LMU-1175 comes equipped with a fixed harness, 1000 mAh back up battery, a built-in 16G accelerometer, 3 fixed biased I/O ports, and 1-wire bus.
  • LMU-2100 - inconspicuosly installed product for the fleet management and insurance market segment. The LMU-2200 comes equipped with a fixed harness, a built-in 16G accelerometer, multiplexed serial port and 3 I/O ports. This product comes equipped with the latest low power 16G force accelerometer capable of measuring hard braking, hard acceleration and collision events for driver behavior and safety applications.
CalAmp's new Location Messaging Unit (LMU) products provide global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking and cellular-based wireless communications capabilities for monitoring and tracking 12-volt and 24-volt vehicles. The new products are equipped with CalAmp's pioneering PEG™ (Programmable Event Generator) and PULS™ (Programming, Update and Logistics System), the company's industry-leading on-board alert engine and over-the-air device management and maintenance application, respectively. The new products also feature an integrated wireless antenna designed to deliver unrivaled performance and expand installation flexibility.

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.
