Reliable Controls® Lighting Interface Modules

Reliable Controls® Lighting Interface ModulesThe Reliable Controls® Lighting Interface Modules provide the ability to switch Douglas 'HID' or General Electric 'RR' series relays directly from Reliable Controls® MACH-System universal outputs. Each module supports two inputs and outputs. Separate modules are available for Douglas and GE systems.

The module takes a digital 12 V signal and provides a 24 VAC pulse to the latching relay of the system (both on and off). Power for the Lighting Interface Modules is supplied by the MACH-System output; no external power supply is required. The Douglas Lighting Interface provides relay position feedback. Both modules are conveniently mounted in standard 3.25" snap track to provide a low-cost lighting integration solution.

For more information on the Lighting Interface Module please see www.reliablecontrols.com/products/accessories/.

BAS SwitchNew BAS Switch Addresses Ethernet Needs in the Building Automation Industry

Downers Grove, Illinois  - With the trend for using Ethernet in building automation systems (BAS), Contemporary ControlsŇ has introduced the compact BAS Switch for reliable operation. Inexpensive and simple to use, the significance behind this device is that it addresses one of the key concerns in building automation systems and that is convenient installation in control panels. 

This switching hub is also valuable for the building owner because it provides a well-documented installation. The label on the switch can be written upon so that port connections can be documented as to the location of the connected equipment.

greystoneGreystone Introduces New Line of WD-100 Series Water Detectors 

The WD100 is a microchip-based device that uses gold-plated sensing probes to detect the presence of water or other conductive liquid. The WD100 is powered by an AC or DC source, 14 - 30 volts. It features normally open and normally closed (form C) relay contacts rated at 5A @ 120 VAC/30 VDC for connection to a monitoring system, or direct control of another device. The mounting legs will allow a sensing height adjustment from 0" to 1/2". The WD100 is designed to signal an alarm if one or more of the three conditions are met: water is detected, power is lost to the unit, or if there is an internal failure. The WD100 provides the highest level of water detection confidence.

EISC12-100T/FTNew Ethernet Fiber Switches Provide Noise Immunity and Extra Ports

Downers Grove, Illinois  Contemporary Controls family of configurable switches is now complete with fiber versions that double the number of ports. The growing need for fiber underscores the demand for noise-free signal transmission. The EISC12-100T/FT has ten twisted-pair wired ports, and two multimode fiber (1300 nm) ports with ST connectors. The EISC12-100/FC is identical except it has SC connectors. The EISC12-100T/FCS also uses SC connectors but with single-mode (1300 nm) ports. Like their sister product, a 16 port 10/100 Mbps twisted-pair switch, they boast advanced features typically only available in high-end switches: Port VLAN, trunking, QoS (Quality of Service) and programmable fault relay, configured via a console port connected to a Windows-based configuration program included with each product.
