Bar code products and online information! Following our acquisition of Datasensor UK at the end of last year, we took over responsibility for Datalogic’s sensor and safety business. Of course Datalogic are also a worldwide market leader in barcode systems and we have seen a strong interest for these products from our existing customers. Our team are fully trained in these products and are able to offer on site or remote support so please give us a call if you need barcode readers. You will find one of the latest examples of these leading edge products on page 8.
Viscosity compensated flow switch With the launch of the HR2V Honsberg has completed their range of viscosity compensated flow indicators and switches, designed to accurately measure the flow of oil with varying viscosities. The HR2V utilises a specially designed piston and flow chamber to accommodate oils with varying viscosity whilst maintaining an accurate measurement of the flow through the unit.

Pushbuttons for specific functions How can you best communicate a pushbutton’s function to the end user in a clear concise way? Along with Baco we would like to offer you a good solution to obtain greater clarity in your product functions. Firstly we are expanding our range of standard push buttons with different markings to fit into today's new applications such as disabled access or recycling. Then we make it even easier for you to get special markings for push buttons to fit just your specific application. This allows you in a very simple and cost effective way to make it easier for your end users to understand the different functions to be controlled. There are really no limits to what can be printed and standard numbers or texts can be sufficient but symbols are often easier to understand.
They can also be read by everyone internationally regardless of language which is ideal if your equipment is exported outside of the UK. Please contact us with your ideas about how you would like to make it easier for your customers and we will help you to find a good solution.

mPm completes the range with circuits! mPm completes its field –attachable, external thread valve connectors with the introduction of DIN form B, C and micro DIN versions with electronic circuits that complement the existing Form A connectors. Options include a bi-polar LED power-on indicator, LED with blocking diodes to protect against over voltage or peaks when switching off or bi-polar LED with a voltage dependant resister (VDR) to protect supply and switch.
Available with 24Vdc, 115Vac and 230Vac circuit options.
The external-nut design on the mPm DIN valve connector series provides a greater and more consistent torque for a uniform seal between connector and cable, with 20% greater cable retention force over internal nut designs for increased reliability. When assembled the connectors achieve an IP67 seal allowing for a wide range of rugged applications to be satisfied by the new DIN’s with circuits. 6

Modules with integrated LED for 50mm signal tower range The established modular 50mm signal tower range from Auer now has a new option for dedicated light modules with integrated LED’s. Previously this range only allowed a solution using BA15d LED lamps fitted in standard light modules. These new modules incorporate latest technology, high performance LED’s in steady, flashing, single strobe and multi strobe options. When compared with a traditional 1 Joule Xenon strobe the LED equivalent offers a similar signalling effect at a similar price but with all the advantages of much longer
lifetime, reduced nominal current and excellent shock/vibration resistance. Compared with the competition we can offer the widest and most complete range of modern, UL certified LED modules on the market with options for 40, 50, 60 and 70mm modular signal towers.
