Great Reasons for Installing a Control Relay In Your Equipment

Friday, August 27, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro
Do you want a user to be informed of abnormal operating conditions? This would allow monitoring relaysthem to take the necessary actions to correct the fault before an expensive breakdown occurs!

Would you like to monitor and detect abnormal electrical or physical values such as voltage, current and phase? Once an abnormality is detected the relay will emit a visible signal and trigger a change in the output contacts.

Is your goal to avoid production shutdowns and keep your lines running smoothly? Our Crouzet line of control relays and monitoring relays will help you do this!

Here is a quick list of common applications for the Crouzet C-Lynx control relays:
  • Supervision of motors - check phase sequence and phase failure
  • Temperature control in lifts - monitor temperatures
  • HVAC - stop the motor in case of faults
  • Pump and level control - manage and protect equipment
  • Load monitoring - monitor overloads  on driving motors and detect jams
  • Speed monitoring - react and alert the operator if machine operating rate is high or low

Phase Monitors, what can they do for you?

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by Amy Becker

 

Phase Monitors are protective devices that can shut the compressor down if there’s a problem with the incoming power.  There are different versions that can sense all or some of the following:

  • Unbalanced voltage
  • High Voltage
  • Low Voltage
  • Loss of a phase
  • Phase reversal

Any one of these problems can cause serious and expensive damage to the compressor. In areas where the quality or consistency of incoming power is questionable, phase monitors are cheap insurance against an expensive failure.

Marshall Wolf Automation has single and 3 phase monitors to protect your equipment. We are authorized industrial supply distributors for Simpson Meters, Carlo Gavazzi Sensors as well a numbers other lines and products. 

Take a look at our website www.wolfautomaion.com and see how we can help to keep your equipment safe.

Parking Guidance & Space Availability System

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro
Carlo Gavazzi has launched an incredible new Parking Guidance and Space Availability System, which utilizes the robust Dupline System as it's communication bus.

car parking systemThis revolutionary new system shows the exact number of parking spaces (including the handicapped parking spaces) available within each section of an indoor parking facility.

Above each parking space is a sensor and indicator light which are linked to the easily installed 3-wire Dupline bus.
 
If a parking spot is occupied by a vehicle or motorcycle, the indicator light will be red, but if the parking space is open, that space's indicator light will be green or blue (indicating a handicapped spot), showing that the parking space is available.

These red, blue and green indicators can quickly be seen by the drivers, so they know exactly where an open parking space is located.

The 3-wire bus provides the sensors with power, and is also used to transmit information regarding the location of free parking spaces. This Dupline system from Carlo Gavazzi is easy to install and provides simple configuration, reliability and cost effectiveness.
