New Limit Alarm Solutions Offer Dual Relays and Process Transmitter Output in a Single Unit

Flexible, space-saving transmitter alarms offer the convenience of software configuration on a mobile device for monitoring input threshold levels and converting sensor signals to interface with process control systems.

Wixom, MI: Acromag adds new limit alarm and transmitter solutions for their line of microBlox® signal conditioners. The microBlox signal conditioning modules, available for a wide range of sensor inputs, plug into the new uBTA Transmitter Alarm Carriers to provide threshold value switch and process signal output capabilities. Single and dual-channel models support a wide variety of input, output, alarm, and relay types. Models with mechanical relays feature two SPDT switches rated for 5A at 250V AC, 30V DC. Solid-state relay models have two SPST switches rated for 1A at 200Vpk AC/DC. Acromags free AgilityTM app simplifies setting custom I/O ranges and alarm setpoints using a smartphone or tablet. Bluetooth® wireless technology provides a fast an easy connection to AndroidTM or iOS® mobile devices. Pricing starts at $335.


The microBlox systems modular approach, combining an assortment of plug-in input modules with output carriers, offers great flexibility to meet a broad range of alarm and signal interfacing applications. uBTA Carriers are offered in a thin 12.5mm housing or as an economical panel. Both formats mount on DIN rails. "The combination of alarm trips plus voltage and current output in one unit is a very cost-effective solution. And with easy software setup of I/O ranges and limits, it is even more attractive," stated Robert Greenfield, Acromags marketing & sales director.

Well-suited for use in harsh industrial environments, microBlox alarms have high immunity to the unwanted effects of noise, surges, shock, and vibration. They also offer dependable, high accuracy operation in extreme temperatures from -40 to 75°C with low drift and great stability. Hazardous location UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 ABCD and ATEX Zone 2 certifications are pending.

Acromag, a multimillion dollar international corporation, has been developing and manufacturing measurement and control products for more than 50 years. They offer a complete line of industrial I/O products including process instruments, signal conditioning equipment, data acquisition boards, distributed I/O systems, and communication devices.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
