Introducing Draeger New Polytron 8000 Series

Draeger Safety is pleased to announce the full release of their new flagship explosion proof transmitter line, the 8000 series. The new 8000 features high-end diagnostics, advanced gas detection features, and a variety of sensor types: toxic, oxygen, catalytic bead LEL, infrared CO2, and infrared LEL. Full UL approval is available for hazardous area installations. Programming or calibration is available through a simple magnet without having to declassify the area. HART Protocol and On-board Relays are also available if required.

Introducing Draeger New Tube Automatic HandPump – The X-Act 5000

DraegerTubes require a specific number of hand pumps to get a reading. Traditionally this is done with a hand pump known as the AccuroPump, which is fine for many users. However, if significant daily tube readings are required, the AccuroPump can become difficult to work with, leading to inaccuracies and human error. Draeger has now released a new automatic pump, the X-act 5000, which reads the barcode on the side of the tube container, then loads the correct number of pumps into the system. A built-in flowmeter measures the correct quantity of airflow for each tube so that the accuracy of each measurement is increased.

Introducing the Elpro 915U-D Industrial Radio Modem

ELPRO’s new 915U-D Wireless Serial Modem is an RS232 or RS485 data modem that enables cost effective, two-way communications between serial devices such as PLCs, RTUs, and other industrial machinery to host monitoring and control systems. Designed with a long range, license-free 900MHz or 2.4GHz wireless transceiver, the ELPRO 915U-D delivers high performance in a compact DIN-rail or panel mount form factor ideally suited for integrated industrial applications.

Introducing New Controlling Capability for the Eurotherm Nanodac

In January of 2011, Eurotherm introduced a groundbreaking new digital recorder, the Nanodac. At a mere 6″ x 6″ x 6″, the Nanodac is the smallest recorder Eurotherm produces and has a crisp, bright screen. Within just a few months, Eurotherm also released a Nanodac with controlling capabilities – combining for the first time recording and controlling into one unit. The Nanodac can now be upgraded to provide two independent control loops or an advanced cascade loop!

The two independent control loops utilize the advanced Eurotherm PID algorithm providing high performance and reliability to your process. The standard dual loop selection also includes one of the best auto tune facilities available along with overshoot inhibition (cutbacks); compensation for power fluctuations using power feedforward; linear, fan, oil and water cooling The all-new advanced cascade loop allows ease of setup and tuning when cascade control is needed. This application block allows the operator to set up individual set point ranges and tune the cascade loop, something unique to the nanodac™.

Introducing Draeger X-Zone Series

The Draeger X-Zone 5000
brings portable gas detection to a new level with an explosion proof area monitoring device for use in hazardous areas. The illuminated green LED ring indicates that the air is clean. Upon detection of gas hazards, the LED colour changes from green to red, thus providing a clear visual warning that gas is present. Additionally, a loud and highly audible evacuation alarm is emitted. The Dräger X-zone 5000 gas entry is arranged that the gas can diffuse into the Dräger X-am 5000 from all sides. Unlike personal gas detectors, area monitoring devices can be located well within an explosion hazard area, even during a gas alarm. The approvals for X-zone 5000 enable the continuous operation of the device in an explosive atmosphere and environment.
