Two Popular Pushbuttons Now Sealed |
||
| The 30 Series is an above-panel mounted SPST momentary contact pushbutton switch with a half-inch diameter actuator in an integral decorative housing. The switches have tactile feedback at the point of contact so that the operator knows that contact has been made. The new versions, 30-2xx, have a threaded housing that adapts to varying panel thicknesses. They are available with a silicone boot that wraps over the top forming a single-surface IP67 seal when compressed against the panel under the rim of the switch. |

EL-USB-CO300 Carbon Monoxide (CO) data logger |
||
|
This data logger measures and stores up to 32,510 Carbon Monoxide (CO) readings over a 0 to 300 ppm measurement range and -10 to +40°C (14 to +104°F) operating temperature range. The user can easily set up the logging rate and start time, and download the stored data by plugging the data logger into a PC's USB port and running the purpose designed software under Windows 98, 2000, XP and Vista (32-bit). The data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications. The data logger is supplied complete with a long-life lithium battery. Data is stored in non-volatile memory and is not lost when the battery is empty. A bright red LED will flash and a buzzer can sound when a preset warning level has been exceeded.

LiFePO4 chargers now available |
||
| With their new chargers GPP18 and GPP36 FRIWO not only offer premium charging of NiMH/NiCd or Li-Ion cells but also for LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate cells). These chargers use the "automatic power balance" method (patent pending) which ensures optimal charging of the storage battery. FRIWO chargers are therefore highly efficient. The current charging status is displayed by LED. The units have an efficiency ration of > 80% an a no-load dissipation loss of < 0,6 Watts. Due to their extremely low leakage current of < 100 µA they meet medical standards and are perfectly suited for medical engineering. The powerful and compact quick chargers offer wide range inputs of 100 - 240V and interchangeable plugs for worldwide use. A microcontrolled charging management stops the charging process after full charge either by temperature, -deltaU or timer. All shut-offs are monitored simultaneously to prevent the cells from overheating or damaging. |
