Major Electronix has broadened it’s Automation Product offering by adding the FPF range of Fandis fan filters and exhaust filters. The products are very competitively priced and the full range of fan filters comprises 10 basic models, which deliver free airflows from 23 to 650 m³/h (13 to 380 cfm). Physical sizes are 105 x 105, 204 x 204, 250 x 250 and 325 x 325 mm. Standard voltage is 24 V d.c. & 115 , 230 V a.c.  Fan motors have long lasting shielded ball bearings. Installation is quick and easy as only a square cutout is required and the fan-filter then simply clips in. In applications where vibration is a problem it is possible to secure the units with screws. The range is supplemented by matching exhaust/inlet filter grilles. Filter media is self-extinguishing and washable. Standard airflow is from outside into the enclosure (this keeps the enclosure at positive pressure) but extractor fans setups can be ordered.  Major Electronix will offer additional Fandis products in the coming months.

This in-line fan cord thermostat automatically turns the fan on/off as the ambient temperature calls for additional cooling.

Controlling the internal ambient temperature of electronics is critical to the proper functioning and life expectancy of those components.  The most cost effective method in controlling this is thermal management of forced air cooling.

The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature of typical equipment is considered to be 85-88 degrees F.  As ambient temperature increases due to system usage, circuit component life is reduced by up to 45% for each additional 10-12 degree rise in ambient temperature.  Product performance, service life and reliability are in direct relation to ambient temperatures.

This Patent Pending design is revolutionary to the AC fan industry.  Designed to simply replace your current fan cord, no additional wiring, circuit boards, control boxes or design changes are required.  The GardTec Green Fan Cord will automatically turn your AC cooling fan on when the system heat rises, then turn it off when the system heat drops, allowing the fan to run only during those times when the system calls for additional cooling.

Save energy, costs, reduce fan generated noise and increase product life.

These two questions are often asked by design engineers, machine programmers, and safety personnel alike. Before we list our broad offering of these products, let us answer these two questions. What is a Panel Interface Connector? A panel interface connector (herein referred to as PIC) is a device that typically mounts to the outside of a control panel housing a PLC, computer, or other type of programmable device. Once in place, the PIC, which houses convenient pass through connections, allows the user to interface with the computer, PLC, or other devices inside the control panel without opening the panel door. This in essence addresses the second question.

Why should I use a PIC?

The ability to interface with the contents of the cabinet without opening the door eliminates some potential safety hazards associated with having an open electrical panel. One of the main safety concerns is usually Arc Flash. An arc flash explosion is an extremely dangerous system malfunction that occurs when a short is created between electrified conductors.

This can happen when the conductors can no longer contain the applied voltage, or when the isolation between the conductors is breached. As a result, the air surrounding the short can ionize and create an intense “arc flash.” These explosions, with temperatures capable of exceeding 5000°F, have been know to cause severe burns and fatalities. In an effort to help protect individuals on the shop fl oor, the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has written standards (NFPA 70E) that require protection boundaries, training, and clothing, for operators. Only properly trained personnel, with fi re-resistant suits, hoods, and gloves, with non-conductive tools, are allowed access to enclosures capable of producing an arc fl ash. The training, the equipment, and the time are all expensive. The use of a PIC eliminates the need to open the door, thus eliminating the need for extra training, equipment, and time.

A basic PIC typically contains a power outlet (single, duplex, or GFCI) along with one or more of the connectors commonly used by the PLC, computer, or other programmable device within the control cabinet. These connectors include, but are not limited to, D-Subminiature (9, 15, 25, 37, or high density 15,) RJ45, RJ11, mini Din, BNC, USB, Ethernet, & Device Net. The above describes the content of a typical PIC, however, a PIC can be provided with almost any combination of connectors, those listed above plus others, and can come with or without a power outlet.

Currently there are over 2000 PIC designs in production. However, new ones are being created on a regular basis, so if you do see the layout you require please contact #800-966-2345 or sales@majorelectronix.com
