Carlo Gavazzi Hybrid Relays

Friday, January 20, 2012 by Caryl Clement

Power-supply manufacturer Carlo Gavazzi recently released a series of switching devices the company deems "economically friendly," the RMD Hybrid Relays. The product provides mercury-free switching, designed for controlling heating elements inside of food ovens, warmers, fryers, rotisseries and other food equipment. It's capable of switching up to 20 cycles per minute, with a 4 million electrical cycle life expectancy.

The RMD Series combines solid-state technology and electromechanical relays to provide a hybrid relay. This means that there is virtually no contact arcing, which  results in prolonged relay life and much less emission inside of the panel. Another benefit of hybrid technology is a full amperage rating at elevated operational temperatures. While most conventional switching devices are rated at 25-40 degrees Celsius, the RMD Hybrid Relays are fully rated up to 60 degrees Celsius. The RMD3H switches heaters on three legs while the RMD2H is a lower-cost alternative, as it switches two poles and the third pole is directly connected between L2 and T2. Additional technical features include:

  • Two- (for single and three phase circuits) and three-pole arrangements
  • Rated for 4 million electrical cycles
  • Rated for up to 20 cycles per minute
  • Two output voltage ratings: 240VAC (VL-L) and 277VAC (VL-N – 480VAC with Neutral)
  • Three common control voltages: 24VAC, 120VAC, 240VAC
  • Two amperage ratings: 30A up to 70 degrees Celsius, 40A up to 60 degrees Celsius
  • Similar mounting to Mercury Displacement Contactors
  • Mercury-free, RoHS compliant, cRUus recognized

Electronic Key System (EKS)

Friday, May 14, 2010 by Caryl Clement
The EUCHNER Electronic Key System (EKS) allows only authorized personnel to access machine controls and process parameters. The uniquely coded inductive key tags, can provide various levels of authorization. For example, different levels of access can be established for programming, maintenance, operation, etc. The EKS makes passwords obsolete.

The tag reader is compact, measuring only 1 ½" x 3". Unlike magnetic coded swipe card, the EKS tag cannot be wiped out. If a tag is lost or stolen, you can block that tag instead of reprogramming the entire system.

The electronic key system provides protection against unauthorized access to operation and visualization systems. In typical applications the user has an access right at a specific level via the electronic-key.

Electronic keys are available for the electronic key system in different colors with identical functionality.

Whether you make car washing systems or food equipment supplies, this is a product that can save you time, energy and money!  We are an authorized Euchner distributor
with technical assistance on staff to help!
