HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE

This often leads to the selection of sensors that are built using special and costly materials. In some instances the materials used can limit the performance of the sensitive membranes used for hydrostatic measuring sensors.

Addressing these problems, German sensor specialist ADZ NAGANO, represented exclusively in the UK by Variohm EuroSensor, has developed its PS1 series level and point sensors that use a high quality stainless steel casing with an optional PTFE coating – offering increased durability for particularly aggressive media at reasonable cost.

The Nielsen Norman Group has recognised the user interface of HBM’s GEN2i mobile high-speed data recorder with an international award for outstanding userfriendliness.

The data recorder features up to 64 individually System Sensor Europe, part of Honeywell, has introduced FAAST, an EN54-20 Class A approved very early warning aspiration system that will raise an alarm more than an hour before combustion.

FAAST’s early warning functionality and removal of false alarm risks makes it an essential safety measure in enterprise critical operations such as data centres and IT/telecoms facilities, where revenue loss and reputational damage due to disruption are unacceptable.

Overheating cables are a significant source of problems, FAAST will give IT managers time to transfer data from affected servers, preserving operational uptime.

FAAST includes a number of hardware and software features, including integral IP connectivity, which enables remote monitoring and management over the internet by direct integration into local and wide area networks, a particular benefit in a data centre facility.

Use of the System Sensor digital Advanced Protocol to communicate with the fire control panel enables both point and aspiration detectors to be integrated into a single overall fire system, reducing cost of ownership.

In addition, the smooth plastic coating improves the contamination resistance of the IP68 rated sensor.
