New Product!
1- & 2-channel
loop-powered mA isolators for field or DIN-Rail montage.
For 0(4)-20 mA Signals with high isolation and protective separation.
Isolators used for electrical isolation of 0(4)-20 mA signals to avoid
measurement errors due to different
voltage potentials or ground loops
in an instrument installation.
The isolators need no power supply, which contributes to reduced installation
costs compared to isolation transmitters. The high isolation level of 4 kV
provides an effective protection for downstream devices.
Sounds interesting?

New Product!
It´s finally here, the Electro Hydraulic Power Pack is now avaliavle.
It is a compact solution all in one
package.
Quick Stepper
fail-Safe
Electro/ hydraulic Power Pack is suitable for
single acting spring return actuators.
The unit can be mounted directly on
the actuator or remotely in harsh environments.
In the event of a power loss, the valve will automatically go to the
fail-safe position by means of the spring force.
Rotary and linear actuator packages are avaliable from 120Nm up to 40
kNm.
Sounds interesting?

Opto 22 Recognized as Save Energy Now LEADER
When
we shaved nearly
30% off our electric bill in one year, we here
at Opto learned the value of tracking energy use.
That's one reason we designed energy-monitoring products like the new
OptoEMU Sensor.
As part
of our ongoing efforts toward sustainability, Opto 22 has partnered with
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE has now recognized Opto as
a Save Energy Now LEADER.

IMES
EPM-XP is
from now on
standard equipment on KHI -MAN B&W engines.
Every MAN B&W brand low speed two stroke engine built under license by
Kawasaki in Japan will hencefore include the EPM_XP electronic indicator
in its standard scope_of_supply instead of a mechanical indicator.
Following
close on the heels of Kawasaki, Hyundai Heavy Industries has become the
second 2_stroke diesel engine manufacturer to adopt the more versatile,
more user friendly IMES electronic pressure indicators
(EPIs) device as standard equipment in the future on new engines in
place of mechanical indicators.

Why
You Need an N-TRON Wireless Access Point
If you're
using wireless for industrial automation—like our
award-winning Wired+Wireless™
PACs and I/O—you
need a wireless access point (AP) that will stand up to an industrial
environment.
We've
tested many, and here's the best one we've found: the N-TRON702-W.
