| White Paper |
Over the coming weeks and months, SCE will be converting all products with our concealed hinge design to incorporate a new enhanced design.
- Doors are easier to remove and reinstall
- No longer necessary to remove the E-Clip Retainer when removing the door. The hinge pin retainer is an integral part of the hinge that does not need to be removed (no more lost E-Clip Retainers).
- Door is coated before hinge tab installation, increasing the long-term corrosion performance, whereas the welded-on version has metal-on-metal, uncoated.
- Eliminates weld marks that otherwise cannot be avoided on door corners.
- Consistent, reliable and better performing than the welded-on hinge tab.
- Bright zinc-plated zinc (Zamak 5) hinge on all steel enclosures and stainless steel on all stainless enclosures
- Hinge is fully removable to meet requirements of sanitary and hygienic design applications
- Flush profile with 180 degree door swing

CLICK PID control is streamlined with only the features that most users need, including direct or reverse acting control, pulse width modulated control outputs, bumpless transfer, anti-windup, auto-tuning, process variable alarms, process variable limits, control output limits and error deadband. The CLICK PID monitor gives access to and charts all PID parameters needed to test and tune the PID loops. An auto-tune interface sets up and initiates the auto-tuning feature. CLICK PID control is simple. With the ability to configure up to 8 PID control loops updating at 100ms, CLICK provides the most affordable PID available, starting at only $183.00 for a standalone CLICK Ethernet analog PLC. |
 Images Courtesy of AutomationDirect.com | ProSense® FTS Series thermal flow sensors offer a very cost-effective solution for monitoring water, glycol solutions, or air flow. With no moving parts, thermal flow sensors are a reliable alternative to mechanical flow switches and other flow sensing technologies. With 4-digit display and pushbutton setup, the FTS series is easily configured to measure flow velocity in feet per second (fps), or by entering the internal pipe diameter, volumetric flow rate can be measured in gallons per minute (gpm) or cubic feet per minute (cfm). Available with probe lengths of either 100 mm or 200 mm, FTS series sensors can be used in pipes up to 16 inches in internal diameter. Two outputs can be used as flow or temperature limit switches or to monitor continuous flow rate or temperature. FTS series flow sensors start at $235 and have a 5-year warranty. |

 Images Courtesy of AutomationDirect.com | HPS Sentinel G ventilated stand-up transformers meet the latest DOE 2016 and NRCan 2019 energy efficiency requirements. These dry-type 3-phase transformers are open coil/core ventilated, NEMA 3R rated and offer significant energy savings and environmental benefits. Models are rated up to 75kVA, and the standard 10kV BIL rating provides increased reliability and protection against critical equipment failure from voltage spikes and other line transients. Advanced core and coil construction improves efficiency. The coated core is manufactured from quality non-aging, cold-rolled, silicon steel laminations. Precision wound aluminum conductors are electrically balanced to minimize axial forces during short-circuit conditions. Starting at $1,235.00, HPS Sentinel transformers are UL and CSA certified, and have a 10-year warranty. |
AUTOMATIONDIRECT | Secure StrideLinx Mobile VPN connections for C-more & 3rd party mobile apps
9/6/2019

 Images Courtesy of AutomationDirect.com | AttaBox NewSentry series thermoplastic PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) junction boxes are extremely rugged and light enclosures, well-suited for harsh, wet and corrosive environments. Uses vary from high-end electronics to extreme corrosive applications both indoors and out, and their small footprint allows use in tight spaces. The easily workable PVC construction provides rounded edges and minimal protrusions or exposed pocket areas for accumulation of dust and debris. Integral mounting feet on smaller sizes allow ease of mounting. With a UL94-V0 flammability rating, AttaBox PVC enclosures are self-extinguishing, non-halogenating and non-flame propagating. Operating temperature range is -4° to 140°F. NewSentry NEMA 1, 3, 3S, 4X, 6, 6P, 12 rated enclosures start at $13.00 and are cULus, CSA, IEC, REACH and RoHS certified. |
 Images Courtesy of AutomationDirect.com | Flowline's non-contact EchoPod® and EchoTouch® reflective ultrasonic liquid level sensors feature proprietary Reflective Technology™ that delivers reliable level measurement in condensing environments. Condensation is the most commonly encountered variable in liquid level applications and attenuates the acoustic signal of non-reflective ultrasonic sensors, weakening signal strength and reducing measurement reliability. These reflective level sensors replace ultrasonic sensors in condensation applications; and replace other float, conductance and pressure sensors that fail due to contact with dirty, sticky and scaling media in small, medium and large tanks. Starting at $405.00, both general purpose and intrinsically safe versions are available with continuous level measurement, switching and control capabilities. |

Valuable electronic equipment housed inside an electrical cabinet is typically protected from water, dirt, and dust. However, this is not enough to defend it from two other important potentially harmful threats: moisture and overheating. Heat and moisture are the two biggest enemies of electrical equipment, potentially leading to malfunction, failure, and a shorter equipment life.
Adding an enclosure air conditioner can help prevent electronic equipment failure and ensure that your valuable systems work flawlessly and have a longer life span.
