Finder’s 7F Series Filter Fans

May 11, 2021

Finder’s sleekly designed 7F Series cooling fans and filters are essential components for reducing heat within the panel, ensuring the performance of components and instrumentation within control panels and enclosures

Vital for control panels to cool increasing ambient temperatures between -15…+75°C, Finder’s 7F Series keeps internal devices working at optimal levels, while also preventing dusty or contaminated air from entering the panel, allowing for smooth operating systems. Reverse flow versions are also available.

With its slim construction and wide range of sizes, the 7F can slip into some of the most compact of panels and takes minimal depth within the enclosure, offering a time-saving installation and maintenance for installers. New size 4 filter fans are available with 250 and 400 m3/h.

Available in 24V DC, 120 and 230V AC (50/60 Hz), Finder’s cooling fans and filters offer a flexible, reliable and competitive range, along with Finder’s premium quality reputation. The 7F Serie’s air volume is (24...400)m3 /h (free flow) with air volume (14...270)m3 /h (with Exhaust Filter installed in cabinet).

Finder’s 7F Series also has a replaceable G3 rated filter mat which can be removed quickly and tool free. The size of the Exhaust Filter should match the size of the Filter Fan to achieve the best ventilation within the cabinet. Safety is ensured with the filter mats with a DIN F1 fire rating and other plastics comply with UL 94 v-0.

Finder Type 18.5K - KNX Presence and Movement Detector

May 19, 2017
Finder.jpg

A new technological product has been added to the range of presence and movement detectors of Series 18: this is the type 18.5K detector with KNX technology.

Type 18.5D

The new movement sensor uses the reliable and tested detection technology that already characterizes the previous Series 18 detector models and is suitable for applications in building automation systems featuring the KNX standard.

Technical features:
Specifically designed to sense micro movements, this sensor is the ideal solution for the management of lighting systems in offices and work environments in general and schools.

The sensor lens has been developed to obtain higher sensitivity in the detection of micro movements and guarantees two reading and sensitivity areas, identified as
•a movement area, which is larger and covers an area of 8x8 m;
•a presence area, which is more important for detecting small movements, and covers an area of 4x4 m.

The type 18.5K movement and presence sensor is provided with 2 software outputs, one of which is controlled according to the light measured by the internal sensor (this function can be disconnected), and is also appropriate for particular types of systems where it is necessary to control both the lighting and the heating/air conditioning.

There is also a third software output that sends only movement information to the KNX Bus: thanks to specific software inputs, sensors can be networked in Master/Slave configuration. This functionality is particularly suitable for controlling large rooms.

Accessories included in the package:
The detector is supplied complete with supports that can be used for ceiling or suspended ceiling mounting and is powered directly by the KNX Bus.

Finder Introduces Type 18.5D Movement and Presence Detector

January 19, 2017

Finder.jpg

Type 18.5D

Finder presents its new movement and presence detector Type 18.5D with Bluetooth programming technology, and DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface), making programming through a smart phone easier than ever.

The detection of small movements make this detector particularly well suited for applications in schools, offices and other environments where there is not necessarily high levels of movement.

A special lens has been developed to sense both normal movements and micro movements. Normal ‘movement’ is detected over the wider area of 8 x 8 meters, while the ‘presence zone’ has increased sensitivity for the detection of small movements within a central area of 4 x 4 meters.

Through the use of Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) technology programming the detector’s operating characteristics can be easily and conveniently done using an Android or iOS smartphone.

After installing the 18.5D, simply download the Free App Finder Toolbox from Google and Apple’s official stores and set all the required parameters.

Finder's New Masterlin System of Push-In Relay Interface Modules

June 22, 2016

Finder.jpg

MasterlineGet a grip on panel installations with Finder’s new MasterIn system of push-in relay interface modules. Finder’s latest advancement provides a high performance, screwless system that allows panel designers and installers to save precious time and money.

When challenged head-to-head, the push-in terminal technology outperformed the conventional installation method— a whopping 80 per cent faster than manual screw drivers, and 25 per cent faster than electric screw drivers.

The MasterIn System also demonstrates better clamping performance under vibration and movement than its screw-in rivals.

Jumper links allow quick connections and separate test points add to the flexibility of the system and are further reasons to choose the new Finder interface range.

The MasterIN System incorporates the existing 39, 48, 4C and 58 Series Finder Relay Interface Modules, and caters for a wide range of applications including industrial automation, building management systems and electrical control panels.
