NEW PRODUCT
|
 |
- For
process energy monitoring & control
-
- The
Universal Power Cell (UPC-KWH) is the latest addition to an innovative range of
high performance “Hall Effect” power sensors for motor load control.
The UPC-KWH has been designed specifically for process monitoring & control where
monitoring energy usage accurately is critical to the production process. Designed to cope with the most difficult of motor load sensing tasks
when other power sensors and motor load controls are unable to function
reliably, such as on the output of variable frequency or inverter drives.
In
combination with associated KWH-3 energy meter and the DM-100 load meter, the UPC-KWH
is suitable for many applications such as “Batch Mixing”, where the sensor
accumulates the total power absorbed in the mixing process for consistent
production batches as in the mixing of rubber, dough and
clay which all respond to energy control.

- PICA-100F Tacho and frequency
meter
-
- The new Ditel PICA100F is a compact 1/32 DIN size and
is designed for measuring frequencies, velocities in r.p.m. or lineal
and is totally programmable. The instrument is one of the KOSMOS series of digital panel meters.
The instrument has a 4 digits LED red
display 8 mm high.
Supply excitation is provided for the sensor, selectable via programming from
the front panel. The PICA100F accepts inputs from most standard sensors: Pick-up Magnetic, Namur, PNP, NPN, switch, as well as being able to measuring frequencies from signals in
the range of 10 to 600 V ac. Its two mounted relays allows this instrument not
only to measure but also to be able to control, regulate and detect alarms for
the input signals.
