IEE’s Sunlight Readable, Rugged Handheld Displays Withstand Harsh Conditions In the Field

IEE, Inc., specializing in the design, test support and fielding of human system interface (HSI) display technologies in a wide range of military/aerospace, industrial and retail applications, offers a line of rugged, military-qualified handheld control display units (CDUs) that are sunlight readable and combat proven.

The wide range of display sizes and resolutions from 4-line 2.8” character displays up to full graphic displays and from 3.5” QVGA to 7.0”-wide SVGA, provides exceptional design flexibility for the system engineer. Typical equipment that uses IEE’s rugged CDUs include soldier- and vehicle-mount equipment as well as in man-pack hand-held use.

The units feature integrated multi-mode backlighting that provides sunlight readability and NVIS compatibility for enhanced viewing no matter how dim or bright the lighting may be.  This enables precise visual access to critical data.

In addition to the line’s standard products, IEE offers fully-customized CDUs based on user requirements.  Functions such as integrated touch screen interface can be

provided in resistive, IR, SAW or multi-touch technologies.  The low power, high performance reprogrammable microprocessor-based operation also enables exceptional customization

Browser-based versions of the CDUs access the web through a 10/100 Ethernet interface executing HTML 5.0, JAVA scripts, JAVA applets or other methods.

Operating at a maximum altitude of 36,000 ft, the CDUs feature a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, with some units operating down to -40°C.  The units withstand transit shock and ground mobile vibration of 0.04 g2/Hz from 20-2,000 Hz at 1 Hour/Axis as well as submersion in up to 1 m of water for 2 hours.

IEE’s handheld devices meet a variety of military standards including MIL-STD-461/462 for EMI/EMC requirements; MIL-STD-810, MIL-S-901and MIL-STD-167 for environmental factors; MIL-P-7788 for panel construction and lighting; MIL-STD-3009 for NVIS and MIL-STD-704and MIL-STD-1275 for power.

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.
