Interlogix Introduces New Self-Contained Security System and Image Capture Technology

Interlogix, a leader in security and life safety solutions for residential and commercial enterprises, releases its next generation Simon XTi™, an intuitive, self-contained system that provides life safety and comfort management. Leveraging image sensor technology, the Simon XTi now provides added protection for users with visual verification of alarms. Interlogix is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

Combining the powerful security of Simon XT and the simple, at-a-glance experience of the Two-Way Talking Touch Screen, the Simon XTi is easy to install and operate, offering 40 zones of life safety protection. It also features convenient connectivity with Z-Wave® devices, and can be enhanced with Alarm.com® interactive services for remote viewing and control of lights, thermostats and other devices.

“We’re evolving our popular Simon and Touch Screen solutions to meet the needs of today’s families and small business owners,” said Bob Haskins, president, Interlogix. “Simon XTi’s icon-driven interface provides effortless system navigation and viewing of status notifications. The panel is compact with a simple design, and can be customized with interchangeable faceplates to complement a customer’s personal taste and décor.”

Unique to Simon XTi, users can also view pictures captured by the new Interlogix Image Sensor, powered by Alarm.com. An innovative advancement, the Image Sensor combines a PIR motion sensor, an integrated still camera, wireless communication and Alarm.com Interactive Services.

“Pictures captured from the Image Sensor when motion is detected, or when users want to check in on their property, can be viewed directly on the Simon XTi touch screen. They can also be viewed on a smart phone or online, providing both protection and convenience,” stated Paul Van Der Zanden, general manager, Intrusion, Interlogix.

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.
