Honeywell is pleased to introduce its TruStability™ Board Mount Pressure Sensors, RSC Series, a high-end, high-value addition to its TruStability™ portfolio. The RSC Series is designed for applications that require higher performance than existing TruStability™ products. When compared to Honeywell’s existing TruStability™ sensors, the RSC Series provides greater than 18 bits of real resolution and a Total Error Band that is four times tighter while utilizing the same small, stable package. The Series is a more cost-effective than premium laboratory grade devices.

The RSC Series integrates proven sense element technology and stable packaging used in the TruStability™ platform with Honeywell’s innovative 24-bit analog to digital converter. Rather than having one-size-fits-all internal math, compensation co-efficients are stored in internal EEPROM, which provides flexibility because customers can customize compensation for specific applications.

With the recent reminders of the need to protect against flood water and other detrimental water leakage, Finder has expanded its range of liquid level control relays with the introduction of the 072.11 surface water sensor.

Working in conjunction with a liquid level control relay from the 72 series range, the surface water sensor has been designed to sense water levels as low a 1 mm, making it ideal for a range of applications, from detecting spillage around vending machines in sensitive areas such as computer suites, to the early detection of flood water in the basement or ground floor of a home.

Reinforced electrical isolation between the three circuit elements within the level control relay helps the system designer meet the personal safety required in virtually all equipment standards, and low voltage makes the sensor safe to touch.
