Airlines use cockpit flight simulators to train pilots. Nuclear power plants use
control room simulators to train plant operators. Each simulator replicates the
layout and response of a specific control room. Recently Weschler provided
more than 600 panel instruments for a $13M simulator at the Cook Nuclear
plant in Michigan. These instruments included various Weschler switchboard
meters, plus products from Yokogawa, Simpson, International Instruments,
KEP and Ashcroft. Many required custom scales or special colors to exactly
match the Unit #1 control room. Weschler was uniquely able to provide this
broad variety of products and customization services.

Kilowatt Transducer Feeds Factory DCS
An industrial customer wanted to monitor
the power into a large oxidation oven, and
tie that information into his existing
distributed control system (DCS). He
needed to measure three phase currents
(to detect unbalances and phase loss),
plus total kW. After considering several
options for a power transducer with digital
communications, he chose instead to use
four analog 4-20mA loops to feed the DCS.
The Crompton INT1560 Energy
Transducer has the required inputs and
outputs. It measures 50 electrical parameters and provides both digital and
analog outputs. Initial setup can be done through a plug-in display unit or
through the RS-485 Modbus port (using Crompton's free configuration
software). This rugged unit has an extended temperature range and
enhanced noise immunity, so it can be installed on the plant floor. More

Why settle for spot temperature measurements when you can move up to a Thermal
Imaging Camera for only $1599? The
Extech i5 Infrared Camera is faster & more
accurate than an infrared thermometer. Use
the i5 to quickly scan large areas. Pinpoint
equipment hot spots and dangerous
conditions. Troubleshoot wiring, breaker
panels, motors, controllers and other power
devices. This handheld camera is also
useful for predictive maintenance & energy
audits. Images are displayed on the color
LCD & stored on a miniSD memory card.
Measurement range is 0-250C (32-482F)
with 0.1deg resolution.
Extech is a subsidiarly of Flir, a technology
leader in infrared imaging. The new low
price for the i5 Camera makes it even
easier to upgrade from a single-spot thermometer. More

The Simple Logger II products from AEMC are small
data recorders with non-volatile, 240000
measurement memory. The new ML912 is a two
channel AC current recorder powered by 2 alkaline
batteries. The attached 6' Mini-Flex probes fit wires
up to 1.77" dia. User selectable input ranges measure either 0.5-100A or 5-1000A.
The Simple Logger® II stores time-stamped data at
a user programmable rate from 8/sec to 1/day. For
each data point, 64 samples are taken on one line
cycle to calculate a TRMS value. Non-volatile
memory and three storage modes prevent loss of
data. An optically isolated USB port connects to a
PC. The free Dataview™ software displays real time
waveforms, extracts stored data, performs harmonic
analysis and generates reports.
