Datapaq® Introduces the New TM21 Radio Telemetry System for Temperature Profiling

Datapaq, the world's leading supplier of temperature profiling systems, introduced the revolutionary new RF Radio Telemetry system TM21 to complement the TPAQ21 and MultiPaq21 datalogger products. The TM21 system utilizes the latest radio frequency technology to allow temperature data transmission from the datalogger in real time. As the Datapaq system travels through the process (oven, furnace or kiln), temperature data can be viewed, analyzed and reported instantaneously. Such a system revolutionizes the way in which many processes can be monitored in a far more efficient and productive fashion. The technology can be applied in numerous applications and industries, including batch oven cooking in the food processing industry, vacuum furnace surveying in the aerospace industry and 3 day kiln firing processes in the ceramic industry.

New features of the TM21 system include:
  • Multiple Logger Operation – Operates with multiple loggers running at the same frequency and collects data with one installation of the Datapaq InsightTM software
  • Auto Frequency Set-up – Automatic transmission frequency optimization and selection from software, eliminating interference problems and guaranteeing signal quality.
  • Intelligent SW Diagnostics – Comprehensive on-screen real time diagnostics reporting signal status for each transmitting logger and receiver
  • Transmitting Power – Transmission performance optimized for high temperature operation with internal self calibration routines and listen before transmit features
  • Improved Logger Performance – Reduced power consumption, extending battery life and operating life
  • Modular Configuratione – The primary receiver can be complemented by a series of secondary receivers positioned at regular intervals along a process to guarantee data quality.
The benefits of combining RF telemetry and temperature profiling speak for themselves. Before the Datapaq datalogger has even left the furnace, oven or kiln, you will have the information necessary in real time to make any adjustments needed in your process to insure product quality and reduce scrap. For many batch processes, such information may permit significant reduction in cycle times, thereby increasing productivity and reducing energy costs. In optimization or validation studies, the ability to see the effect of process parameters on the temperature profile can significantly help reduce process set-up times and allow quicker production start up.

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.
