E-T-A Appliance Line Filter for 3120-N Circuit Breaker / Switch Combination

December 21, 2021

The appliance inlet module X3120-A combines four functions within a single component: An IEC inlet plug, an ON/OFF switch, resettable overcurrent protection
and a line filter.

The 3120-N circuit breaker / switch combination provides the function of an ON/OFF switch and ensures overcurrent protection. The 3120-N thermal circuit breaker / switch combination protects the line filter in the event of an overload.

Benefits:
•  Reduced Planning and Storage Costs
•  Reduced Mounting and Wiring Time
•  High Availability - the circuit breakers can easily, quickly and reliably be reset after tripping. Fuse replacement is eliminated.

ZF Offers the RF Pushbutton Switch Module

December 16, 2021

Flexibility, Cost & Energy Efficiency in Smart Home

Big topics of discussion within the lighting sector include sustainability, energy efficiency, low cost systems, connectivity and convenience through flexibility.

One solution to address these issues, is the wireless and battery-free RF pushbutton module designed by ZF.

For the connection between lighting components and pushbuttons in buildings, cables are the established solution. This variant seems to be cheap and simple to install at first. Unfortunately, the initial low maintenance can quickly turn into an expensive undertaking. Installing cables creates inflexibility. As soon as it comes to modifying buildings updating cables between lights, actuators or sensors, it involves a huge effort and cost. Renovations require planning, knocking down walls, laying new wires and returning the building to its previous state.

ZF offers a sustainable alternative based on RF and completely free of batteries and wires. This concept eliminates the disadvantages of wired and battery powered systems. A tiny and compact generator (20.1 x 7.3 x 14.3 mm) produces enough energy by pressing the button by means of induction, so that it can reliably transmit RF commands to a paired receiver. As a wireless solution it guarantees flexibility and the possibility to retrofit easily according to individual requirements. As a battery-free solution and with a lifetime of 1,000,000 switching cycles, maintenance and disposal requirements of battery replacements can be avoided.

The RF light switch module from ZF is the only one which is directly compatible with the RF standard KNX-RF and it supports the RF standard EnOcean3.0 too. In cooperation with onsemi, ZF has published a reference design for an Energy Harvesting Bluetooth5.0® Low Energy switch and a first demo light switch module. It is compatible with standard frames and can also be combined with customer-specific control and design panels.

Cynergy3 IWPTL Series – Low Range Industrial Wireless Pressure Transducer

December 7, 2021

      Cynergy3_logo.jpg

The IWPTL Wireless Pressure Transducer is a cost effective replacement to a traditionally wired pressure transducer that offers the advantages of a low-cost installation in inaccessible and expensive installation environments.

It is easily paired to the compatible IWR family of single- or five-channel wireless receivers thus offering a “plug and play” solution to your pressure measurement applications.

The instrument uses a piezo-resistive silicon sensor mounted within a 316 stainless steel housing giving excellent media compatibility for the harshest of applications. A swivel adaptor is available which allows the head to be easily aligned to the IWR receiver - see IWPT-SA.

The IWPT sensor can be used with either an IWR-1 or IWR-5 receiver. A line-of-sight range of up to 500 m is possible depending on the wireless receiver used (refer to datasheets IWR-1 & IWR-5 for further information).

Each device is temperature compensated, calibrated and supplied with a traceable serial number.

Features:
• Suitable for liquids and gases
• Pressure ranges from 0-50mbar to 0-1000mbar gauge
• Up to 500 m line-of-site range (depending on receiver)
• Piezo-resistive stainless steel sensor with stainless steel body
• Five-year battery life at 10 second transmission update rate
• Simple DIL switch pairing with the single or five channel receiver
• Single or five channel receivers available
• User-selectable transmission update rates
• User-selectable 1-5V or 4-20 mA receiver outputs
• Receiver clean contacts provide process alarm functions

Typical Applications Include:
• Simple cable replacement installation – dispense with expensive cable runs
