COLUMBIA LIGHTING
Morph Fluorescent Exterior Area Lights from Columbia use the T5HO technology to offer a potential 52% energy savings over traditional 400-W HID sources. Bonus energy savings can be realized using occupancy sensors, which provide full brightness only when an area is in use and light only half the lamps while unoccupied. This feature allows Morph to easily meet new changes in California’s Title 24 energy code and other jurisdictions, which may follow suit. Morph fluorescent luminaires provide additional advantages over traditional HID including instant on and re-strike, improved color rendering, longer lamp life, and more economic controls compatibility.

DYNASONICS
Dynasonics has developed TFX Ultra, a new ultrasonic clamp-on flow and energy meter. It provides accurate and repeatable flow measurement readings for full-pipe liquid applications, such as cooling lines, raw sewage flows, water distribution, and processes where system shutdown is impossible. The TFX Ultra is also available as an energy flow meter measuring energy usage in Btus or tons, and is ideal for retrofit, chilled water, and other HVAC applications. The unit is designed to simply clamp-on to the outside of existing pipe, reducing installation time and material costs.

DEHN INC.
DEHN Inc. introduces a new surge protector with high direct current (DC)–breaking capability for 600- and 1,000-V DC photovoltaic (PV) applications. The rapidly growing PV industry has placed demands on current SPD technology and previously available SPD products intended to protect system components from effects of lightning-caused surges and transients. DEHN has developed it, in order to function under the issues associated with these DC voltages. The DEHNguard M YPV-SCI incorporates a switched fused circuit in parallel to the discharge circuit, enhancing protection even in the case of DC grounding faults.

EAGLE EYE POWER SOLUTIONS
Eagle Eye Power Solutions (EEPS) provides the highest-quality, safe, reliable, and around-the-clock emergency power monitoring & management systems to data and telecom centers, utility companies, and more. Adopting the world’s first ripple-removing algorithm (PAT No.0494489), the IBEX series (portable) and BDS/PRO series (on-line) can test batteries in accordance with IEEE Std. recommendations. This will allow the user to determine the state of any battery, easily, quickly, and safely by using impedance-measuring technology during a float charge. The reliability of the IBEX and BDS/Pro series has been verified by such diverse organizations and customers worldwide.

ENVIRONMENT ONE CORP.
The Generator Condition Monitor–Air-Cooled Apparatus (GCM–A2) warns of air-cooled generator overheating and impending failure much faster than RTDs or thermocouples, because RTDs and thermocouples need to be physically near the hotspot, or wait until overheating progresses to the point that the temperature near the RTD or thermocouple rises sufficiently for the sensor to detect it. This results in a significantly larger “fault,” possibly a catastrophic one. The GCM–A2 detects the pyrolysis particles emitted into the cooling air as a result of overheating or arcing virtually anywhere in the machine.

GENERAC
One protection for homeowners against unforeseen power outages is to install a standby power generator that automatically comes on when the power goes out. Because of their favorable emissions profile, gaseous-fueled generators like the Generac Guardian series line are becoming increasingly popular as an environmentally conscious solution for backup power needs. A Generac Guardian series unit offers the highest output of any generator of its kind at the most competitive price on the market—ranging from 8 kW to 60 kW. The power quality also is best in its class, allowing for safe operation of sensitive electronic equipment.

PRECISION MULTIPLE CONTROLS INC.
Precision Multiple Controls Inc. announces the availability of its energy-saving control, model ESC124DS, a NEMA-type photocontrol that turns lights off at any time, automatically. Designed to reduce outdoor lighting energy costs by turning lights off in locations that do not need all-night lighting (i.e., parking lots and billboards) or by turning off every other light in areas where full illumination is not needed, the ESC124DS replaces a standard photocontrol, providing instant “programmed off” operation. The ESC124DS is multi-voltage 105–285 V, 1,000 W, and has an off adjustment on the base that can be easily field set and never needs resetting.

RUSSELECTRIC
Russelectric RTB and RTBD combination automatic transfer-bypass/isolation switches are available in single- and two-source configurations for loads up to 4,000 amps. For loads up to 3,000 amps, Russelectric offers a vertical space-saving design in which the bypass/isolation switch is located above the transfer switch, reducing the unit’s footprint by almost 50% compared with side-by-side designs. A true load-break device, the standard Russelectric bypass/isolation switch provides break-before-make bypass operation. This design allows the operator to bypass directly to either the normal or emergency source regardless of the position or condition of the transfer switch.
