  Side-Mount Subcompact Air Conditioner

The Side-Mount Subcompact Air Conditioner provides high-efficiency positive cooling for wall-mount and narrow enclosures, supporting industry trends toward smaller, densely populated enclosures with greater heat dissipation requirements.  Fits enclosures with 8 in. (203mm) or greater depth.

  • Research has shown that for every 18 F (10C) rise above normal room temperature ( 72-75 F), the life expectancy of the enclosed electronics is reduced by approximately 50%

  • Humidity will condense on exposed metal surfaces significantly accelerating the rate of corrosion.

  • Corrosion will increase contact resistance and increase heat emitted

  • Corrosion ultimately eats away contacts destroying conductive pathways.

Occupancy Sensors With Advanced Adaptive Technology Hubbell
A new generation of H-MOSS¨ occupancy sensors..
• Microprocessor-based adaptive technology.
• Uses adaptive technology to solve the three major problems of conventional occupancy   sensors: false-ons, false-offs and the need for continuous manual adjustment.
• By automatically adjusting the time delay and sensitivity settings found in all   occupancy sensors, the sensors adapt to constantly changing conditions.
• Literally "fingerprint" movements, motion patterns and occupancy habits by recording   them in the microprocessor's memory. The sensor's time delay then adjusts   automatically to optimize performance based on the activity level of the occupant.
• the sensors automatically adjust the sensor's sensitivity setting to compensate for   changes in environmental conditions.
• Installation costs are lower because the time and guesswork required to manually   adjust sensitivity and time delay are eliminated.               More information

The highly innovative new HSJ fuses have been engineered specifically for the operating characteristics of electronic motor controllers, featuring high-speed performance (low let-through energy, or I2t) and overload handling capabilities and qualifying as approved branch circuit protection devices under National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. In one convenient Class J package, the UL 248-8 Listed HSJ fuse will provide advanced protection for electronic motor controllers by delivering both the branch circuit protection required by the NEC and the high-speed protection necessary to protect drives' and soft-starters' sensitive internal electronics. While many electronic motor controllers include an internal high-speed semiconductor fuse to protect their solid-state components, others - medium- to low-power (200HP and below) drives and soft-starters, in particular - do not.   More information

 
CH-SW, Superwatt Optics with Tribay Ballast Housing Home
Reflector
Superwatt 2.0 is designed to deliver comfortable, high efficiency illumination for both vertical as well as horizontal surfaces. With its 2.2:1 spacing to mounting height ratio, it is well suited for low and medium mounting height applications like machine shops, assembly areas, aisle lighting and areas requiring three dimensional, high illumination.
Its unique Ultracryl® 2.0 acrylic refractor provides up to 95% efficiency. And its 27% uplight softens the brightness difference between the lamp and surrounding areas. Maximum downward candlepower is projected at 55° from vertical for wide distribution. As a result, tasks are illuminated with reduced harsh shadows and light is projected onto the machinery for optimum visibility and reduced direct glare above 55°.
