User friendly process meterhas scrolling help text


The Codix 56X process meters areequipped with a practical, quick, start-up guide and scrolling help text thateliminate the need to wade throughdetailed instruction manuals.

The ultra bright LED display is easy to read

and the scrolling help texts greatly simplify

the set up and programming of the unit.

The quick start guide is a fold out card

attached to the front of the unit that can be

removed and re-attached as required

making onerous reading of extensive

instruction manuals a thing of the past.

There are three input options to allow the

connection of standard analogue,

temperature and strain gauge signals.

The two output relays can be used for limit

monitoring with adjustable hysteresis and

time delays.

One nice feature is that two inputs and one

of the front panel buttons can be

programmed to user specific requirements

allowing the units to be customised to your

exact application.

Total isolation solenoid valves (DRY) combinethe traditional valve characteristics of strengthand reliability with construction materials thatmake them particularly suitable for the controlof aggressive and/or non-contaminable fluids.

The fluid is in contact only with the valve body andthe isolation lever or isolation diaphragm; in thisway the fluid is protected from any chemicalcontamination and/or thermic shock.

Produced in 2/2 or 3/2 normally closed, open oruniversal versions plus miniaturised, silent versionsand with a latching actuator.

The numerous versions available, the variety ofmaterials employed and the possibility ofproducing special versions make this range ofsolenoid valves particularly versatile, suitable forapplications in the food, biotechnology,chemical/pharmaceutical andphysiological/medical sectors.

Unique solid staterelays offer trouble free long lifetime


Problems with interference

Power cables installed adjacent to signal cables, especially overlong cable runs, create a capacitive effect that can cause relays toswitch on or stay on after the control signal switches off. Transientsin the power supply can cause damage to relays and interferencefrom frequency inverters can provide false on/off switching.

SolutionDelcon relays have built-in capacitive suppression to allow safe,reliable operation even with very long cable runs. An RC circuitprotects the relays from transients and high frequency interference.

Problems with signaling

Electrical disturbances can cause the LED indicator of relays to glow when the relay is switched off and no input signal is present. This makes it difficult to quicklydiagnose faults and rectify problems.

SolutionThe Delcon relay LED is synchronized with the output so it isimpossible for it to glow without being on. The relays have goodhysteresis with clearly defined on/off points for reliable operation inhigh noise environments.

Problems with inductive loads

Contactors and solenoid valves are commonly used throughoutindustry; there are also problematic inductive loads forelectromechanical relays to handle where contacts can weld andlifetime is reduced.

SolutionDelcon ac output relays are rated at 3A and can switch inductiveloads without any derating. Delcon dc output relays have noderating up to 24Vdc and thereafter still offer significantly lessderating compared to electro-mechanical relays.

Problems with high DC voltage

Electro-mechanical relay contacts are significantly derated at higherdc voltages and usually require special versions that are physicallybigger and take up more space.

SolutionDelcon dc output relay types CRA & CRA4 can switch up to300Vdc without any derating compared to electro-mechanicalrelays and in a smaller package.

Changing relays is a costly business!Compared to the total system cost a relay is a relatively inexpensivecomponent but a relay that fails in a system runs the risk ofbecoming the most expensive component. Choosing a relay with ashorter life span than the entire system will probably result in costlyunwanted system downtime!

Choosing Delcon relays for your system will improve your long termprofitability. The cost of system downtime differs depending on thetype of industry but is usually very expensive. If we consider onlythe cost of trouble shooting and replacing a faulty relay for the firsttime then the initial cost of choosing Delcon is already covered.

Delcon produce specialised solid state interface relays that utilise pulse transformertechnology which gives some unique advantages over traditional electro-mechanicaland opto-coupler based solid state relays. These features help ensure a long lifetimeand trouble free performance in harsh industrial applications where difficult loads, noise andinterference can cause big problems. Please read on for more detail about these uniquerelays and how they can save you money in the long-term.

In many industrial applications signal interference immunity isoften achieved through the use of screened/shielded cables.Good termination of the cable screen to ground is essential butcan be problematic to achieve using standard terminals or lugs!

With this in mind Contaclip has developed a wide range of screenconnection clips that offer a neat, reliable clamping system while

maintaining a low resistance termination which is critical to keepnoise to a minimum.

Various mounting / connection options are available for cables upto 35mm2 and all provide a quick, easy, professional lookingsolution. A product specific brochure detailing the whole range isavailable upon request.

Do you have a reliable cable screen connection?
