Watt Stopper/Legrand launches easy-to-use e-Book catalog

SANTA CLARA, CA July 2007 – To meet the ever-growing demand for online information, Watt Stopper/Legrand has created an e-Book encompassing its 2007/2008 Product Selection Guide. The convenient e-Book format gives customers quick and easy access to comprehensive information about energy-saving lighting controls. Specifiers, contractors and others are encouraged to tap this new resource for design and application guidelines as well as data on Watt Stopper/Legrand’s full line of products including occupancy sensors, lighting control panels, daylighting controls and more.

The e-Book provides faster access to a large volume of information than alternative formats like web pages or downloadable PDF files. Navigation is simple and each catalog section can be immediately accessed by clicking a labeled tab. Links are provided from each section’s table of contents to specific pages, but pages can also be turned just as they would using a printed book. The e-Book is searchable, and customization options include the ability to create bookmarks and sticky notes. Selected pages of the e-Book may be printed and will appear as standard catalog pages rather than looking like a browser window. Readers wishing to share information can send colleagues a link to the whole publication or to a specific page within the e-Book. Users who prefer to work offline may download the document.  Visit www.wattstopper.com for more information.

IMI Sensors Debuts Mechanical Vibration Switch for Machine Shutdown Protection on Cooling Towers, Fans, Pumps & Motors

July 16, 2007, Depew, NY, USA – The new Model 685A07 Mechanical Vibration Switch from the IMI Sensors Division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) provides an economical solution for continuous vibration monitoring. It comes standard with an external pushbutton reset, and does not require power to operate. The switch uses a spring loaded, magnetically coupled sensor which can be externally adjusted for higher or lower sensitivity. This technology is particularly effective on cooling towers, fans, small motors or pumps, or any installation which requires immediate shutdown when increased vibration levels are present. Model 685A07 is a cost-effective approach for a first line of defense against catastrophic machinery failure. CSA certified explosion-proof versions with identical features are also available.

Zigbee-Enabled Sprinkler System Saves Water

Cyber-Rain uses the wireless mesh-networking protocol for its new Cyber-Rain XCI Internet-enabled sprinkler. The Zigbee-compatible sprinkler controller—which can replace your existing controller or be installed as a new system—communicates to a PC via a Zigbee transceiver plugged into a USB port.  Cyber-Rain, which is tailored for the consumer market, automatically checks the local weather forecast several times a day via the Internet and makes appropriate adjustments to the watering schedule. The system even takes humidity into account. Then, of course, there’s the watering index, a guideline used to adjust watering schedules based on seasonal changes in the user’s locale. Cyber-Rain grabs these figures off the Internet (or from a locally stored table if you’re offline) and applies them to the sprinkling schedule. Because Zigbee is a two-way communications protocol, the sprinkler system talks back to the PC, enabling users to track water usage. The controller reports every time each sprinkler comes on. You can use the activity report for fine-tuning the sprinkling schedule or keeping track of water usage for individual zones. Cyber-Rain XCI is currently available online at http://www.cyber-rain.com
