HELLERMANNTYTON BOOSTS ITS UV-RESISTANT PORTFOLIO WITH AN INDUSTRY FIRST
HellermannTyton has bolstered its range of cable identification systems with the launch of its first environmentally friendly, UV-resistant loop cable markers.
A first for the cable marking industry, HellermannTyton has designed loop cable markers that do not require cable ties, saving customers a significant amount of time and money, as well as minimising plastic waste.
Up to now, much of the industry only offered cable marking solutions with cable ties for the sole use of pre-assembly; whereas HellermannTyton’s new loop cable markers can be used post-assembly and have a recess built-in to enable the use of cable ties if desired.
As part of HellermannTyton’s expansion into the renewables industry, the loop cable markers are specifically designed for applications where cables are continuously exposed to UV light, such as within solar plants, or for use with air source heat pumps. They are also suitable for any indoor or outdoor applications requiring identification, including maintenance, assembly, test and inspection, electrical, mechanical engineering, maintenance, and panel building.
Printable with HellermannTyton’s premium range of thermal transfer printers, the loop cable markers consist of a robust and flexible halogen-free polyurethane material; ensuring their suitability for harsh external applications where UV resistance is a necessity.
Mary Arrowsmith, Product Manager for HellermannTyton comments, “We are delighted to launch loop cable markers not only to cater to the solar industry, but also for many of our customers who will be able to save a significant amount of time by applying markers without cable ties. We are proud to be the first supplier to bring this product to the industry as, for the first time, our customers will have access to a solution that they can use for post-assembly and without cable ties, improving their efficiencies in the process.”

NEW BATHROOM DOWNFLOW HEATER BOOST TO AIRMASTER SPACE HEATING RANGE
Already one of the broadest ranges of Space Heating on the market, Airmaster now features a 2kW Bathroom Downflow Heater, providing a more powerful pull cord option to the current Quartz 1.5kW fitting. As for the rest of the range, virtually all elements were upgraded for last winter.
Starting with Panel Heaters, whilst the standard and slim ranges were enhanced with remote control versions, the exciting additions were state-of-the-art smart free-standing Wi-Fi enabled heaters, including a glass panel option. New improved ranges of infrared wall, pedestal and tower products were also introduced last year.
Whilst the buzz is always in exciting new products, the heart and soul of the Airmaster range lies in the established free standing 2kW Floor and Upright Fan Heaters, 2kW Convector Heaters and the wide range of Oil Filled Radiators from 0.5 to 2.5kW.

SCOLMORE PUTS SAFETY FIRST
Scolmore has added Safety Lampholders to its Click Wiring Accessories range. A B22d safety pendant and batten have been designed and manufactured by the company with the aim of keeping the user safe from electrical shocks. The J-slot mechanism has the ability to disconnect power to the plungers when the lamp is removed. This will prevent the risk of electric shock when removing or installing lamps.
When there is no lamp inserted the electrical connection is isolated to the Lampholder contacts. When a BC/B22 lamp is inserted into the Lampholder and secured in the J-Slots, the electrical connection to the contacts and lamp is restored.
The new range comprises 9” and 6” T2 BC Ceiling Safety Pendant Sets and a T2BC Loop-in Batten Safety Lampholder with Straight Skirt.

MAGDUO – TWO-WIRE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM FROM ESP
ESP’s MAGDUO Two-Wire fire alarm system is aimed at small to medium contractors, offering them a highly flexible and adaptable system that will save them time and money on the installation process.
Two-Wire fire alarm systems are based on standard conventional system technology.

This advanced technology can reduce both installation and material costs.
In total, ESP’s MAGDUO range comprises 25 individual products including two, four and eight-zone fire panels (available in a grey or black finish), as well as repeater panels with the four and eight zone panels able to support up to eight repeater panels.

C.K TOOLS LIGHTS THE WAY WITH NEW HEAD TORCH
C.K Tools has launched a brand new Wide Field Head Light (T9630) to ensure greater visibility and safety when accessing wires or cables in dark and confined spaces.
The COB LED head light comes with an RRP of £39 and four modes of operation – spotlight, wide field, full beam, and dipped beam – providing the versatility needed to suit all manner of environments electricians find themselves in.
More importantly, the head light performs at a high CRI (Colour Rendering Index) rating of 80, which when optimised with a combination of 400 lumens of brightness (equivalent to a 40W LED bulb) and 5,700K of colour temperature (similar to natural light), means it can more closely project the true colour of the object it is shining on – critical when working with coloured electrical wires in dark spaces.
For extra portability, the head light is charged via USB, with six hours of runtime, three hours of charge time, and a charging indicator.
