New BACnet/IP Sedona Field Controller Provides Ideal BAS Solution

Contemporary Controls’ new BAScontrol20 is a cost-effective BACnet/IP controller that provides a useful mix of eight universal inputs, four binary inputs, four binary outputs and four analog outputs. Models exist for both triac and relay binary outputs. The device is ideal for unitary control or for expanding I/O points in the field via an Ethernet connection.  The BAScontrol20 utilizes a powerful 32-bit ARM7 processor with 512 kB of flash memory plus a 16 Mbit serial flash file system for storing configuration data and an application program. By operating at the BACnet/IP level, the BAScontrol20 can share the same Ethernet network with supervisory controllers and operator workstations. The unit can be configured for a fixed IP address or can operate as a DHCP client receiving its IP address from a DHCP server. A real-time clock with a super-cap backup allows for creating local schedules. The BAScontrol20 is ideally suited for structured wiring systems and is BACnet/IP compliant with a B-ASC device profile.

New Temperature Sensors for 2014 from Sontay

TT-359 – Direct Clamp-on Sensor

Featuring a large contact area, the TT-359 offers an accurate and reliable solution for measuring pipework temperature without the need for drilling holes or using pockets.     

TT-554 – Remote Probe Sensors

This new range is perfect for pipe and ductwork in tight locations where standard probes with housings will not fit. The 150mm probe can be used with either a stainless steel pocket (TT-PO) in pipework or a duct flange plate (TT-DFP) in ductwork.

TT-1015 & TT-635 – Black Bulb Temperature Sensor 

Temperature measurement for comfort can be best achieved by taking into account the radiant effect of surfaces within the controlled space. The comfort temperature is specified as the average of the conductive temperature and the radiant temperature.

The RLE Technologies SeaHawk LD310 Small Facility Conductive Fluid Leak Alarming

Statistics suggest that most sensitive facilities, such as IT facilities, server rooms, retail spaces, offices, libraries, museums, and even industrial sites, WILL experience damage or work stoppage at some point over their lives due to a fluid leak. RLE’s successor to the wildly popular SeaHawk LD300, the LD310 has all the bases covered to assure your facility is protected. With both audible and visual alarms, the LD310 is the perfect small area leak watchdog. When a leak is detected along the length of an attached Leak Detection Cable or spot detector, the LD310 will set off a loud beep as well as a flashing LED light notifying your staff that corrective action is needed.
