bloy UK has launched a new free SMARTair training course at its Digital Access Solutions Academy, helping installers to gain an understanding of the wireless access control system. Abloy UK’s Digital Access Solutions Academy is a purpose-built facility to showcase, work with, install and test Abloy’s extensive range of products, with a particular focus on new digital solutions and ecosystems. Abloy UK has now expanded its training offering to introduce SMARTair – a battery-operated access control system offering users different access control management levels in a single wireless system. SMARTair is ideal for facilities looking to improve security and simplify day-to-day operations. SMARTair’s intuitive access control software and wireless door entry system provides a detailed security overview of a building, including who enters, where and when. Built around three main elements, the

oor indoor air quality contributes to respiratory and allergy problems. Inadequate ventilation creates ideal conditions for condensation and mould growth. Vectaire’s MVHRs help tackle these problems. Incorporating two fans, they deliver low-level continuous ventilation – extracting stale air from wet rooms, and bringing in air from outside. The two, separated airflows pass through a heat
The course is designed for Abloy’s partners to understand the portfolio of products under the SMARTair umbrella and its integrated systems. At the end of the course, installers will have confidence in commissioning and installing SMARTair systems.
exchanger, recovering heat from outgoing air and filtering it before transferring it to the incoming, fresh air supply. It’s then ducted to the living areas for a comfortable environment. The Midis, upright WHHRs, for loft or cupboard installation, are for residential properties up to 170m2. They recover up to 94% of the heat from extracted air and have variable choice of trickle, boost and purge speeds, with summer bypass and integral frost stat and are available with or without LCD and humidistat. The ‘AT’ versions (sound tested by BRE) operate really quietly (sound levels down to <5dBA). There are two other models in this range – the Maxi for areas up to 250m2 and the Maxi Plus for areas up to 400m2. Contact Carol Auster, Vectaire Ltd, 01494 522333 01494 522337 www.vectaire.co.uk

Aico’s newest innovation Wieland’s robust switch in Multi-Sensor Alarms, for field use the Ei3030 T he new IP67 Ethernet switch from Wieland Electric enables reliable operation even under the most adverse environmental conditions

ntroducing the latest addition to Aico’s technologically advanced 3000 Series, the Ei3030 Multi-Sensor Fire and Carbon Monoxide Alarm combines individual Optical, Heat and CO sensors, for the ultimate fire and CO response. This device can be fitted in any room where both fire and CO protection is required (except a kitchen), meaning that coverage can be provided with fewer alarms. Built-in dust compensation technology allows the Ei3030 to self-monitor minute changes in dust levels, recalibrating the alarms trigger point to reduce the risk of false alarms. The devices’ Thermistor Heat Sensor and high performance Optical Sensor work together intelligently but operate independently. An electrochemical CO Sensor provides an accurate CO response, which is translated into the alarms visual indicators that flash depending on what has triggered the alarm. Aico’s Ei3030 utilises their easi-fit base, is mains powered, has a 10-year
rechargeable lithium cell backup, and is compatible with other Aico mains-powered units. The device is compatible with the Ei3000MRF for wireless interconnection and data extraction via the Ei1000G Gateway. This device holds Kitemarks for British Standards BS EN 14604:2005, BS 5446-2:2003 and BS EN 50291-1:2018.

Modular and flexible machine concepts are growing rapidly in importance. As this happens, more and more automation parts are being connected in a way that is not centralised. This also applies to IP switches, which are no longer only mounted in the control cabinet, but also directly onto the machine. To ensure that network components operate reliably under these conditions, the devices must meet stringent specifications as they are directly exposed to potentially harmful influences such as dust, moisture, and electromagnetic radiation. Wieland Electric offers a suitable solution to this with its new IP67 switch. The wienet IP-SWITCH UMS 8-WM12 is equipped with a robust metal housing and can therefore be used under the most adverse environmental conditions. Splashed water, contamination and high temperatures up to 75°C are handled without any problems. In addition, the switch complies with the EN 50155 standard, making it suitable for the

harsh requirements of railroad applications. Fluctuations and interruptions in the power supply are tolerated, as are vibrations, shocks and high relative humidity. The compact device is easy to maintain and features a long service life and high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The new Wieland Electric IP67 ethernet switch's plug-andplay feature allows for quick commissioning even without programming experience. Eight M12 Fast Ethernet ports allow sensors and actuators to be connected in a stable and consistent way which contributes to low failure rates. Its compatibility with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) within the IEC 61131-2 framework also ensures reliable network operation with the lowest possible failure rate.
