Communications Video encoders VideoJet X family of encoders from Bosch combines high quality video with intelligence to extend CCTV over IP coverage in challenging environments. The VideoJet X10 (singlechannel), X20 (2-channel), and X40 (4-channel) video encoders operate in temperatures from 22 F to 140 F and relative humidity of as high as 95%. The encoders have a 10-V dc to 30-V dc operating range, suitable for remote surveillance using battery or solar power. The series includes three network ports: two standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports plus a 1 Gbps small form factor pluggable optical transceiver slot. www.boschsecurity.us Fire Protection Fire suppression system ProInert from Fike is an inert-gas system that prevents destructive turbulence from occurring with a steady flow rate within 60 sec. of activation. The constant flow rate of the system reduces hazardous pressure peaks and allows the user to incorporate small-diameter, low-pressure piping from the inert gas container all the way to the nozzle. The smaller venting area reduces installation costs by 60% and provides zero ozone depletion. www.fike.com Electrical distribution management Po w e r X p e r t Gateway 400 from Eaton manages electrical distribution and control equipment. The designed installations include electrical assemblies, motor control centers, low/medium voltage switchgears, or switchboards. The controller consolidates the data available from components such as breakers, meters, motor controllers, and protective relays. The controller integrates power equipment onto an Ethernet network. Whether INCOM, QCPort, or Modbus RTU is used to communicate, all devices are visible for at-a-glance monitoring. www.eaton.com Fire control panel AEGIS from Kidde Fire Systems is a single hazard conventional control panel that provides state-of-alarm based control. The device meets all the requirements of ANSI/UL 864 and is approved for carbon dioxide, wet and dry chemical, sprinkler, deluge, pre-action, foam, and foam-water systems. The panel features seven configurable initiating circuits, three programmable notification appliance circuits, two configurable agent release circuits, three programmable and one trouble Form-C relays. The 120/240 V, 50/60 Hz ac input power supply also features microprocessor protection that allows combination device mixed releases. www.kiddefiresystems.com Network monitoring Liebert vNSA network switch from Emerson Network Power allows multiple Ethernet-ready devices to communicate and function as a team. Equipped with the iCOM display, the network switch permits interconnected cooling units to work together and facilitates lead/lag operation. The switches support a range of connected units from four to 13, and it supports twisted-pair RJ45 CAT5 network cables. The switches feature auto-negotiation, auto-polarity, and auto-crossing, which eliminate the need for crossover cables. www.Liebert.com Auxiliary/condensate drain valve NeverTrip auxiliary drain valve assembly from Metraflex is designed to eliminate frozen ball valves and avoid accidental tripping of fire sprinkler systems. A single turn of the handle allows the user to close and then drain condensation without tripping the system. The valve conforms to NPFA 13 requirements and in the drain position, condensate drains from the collection chambers. The chamber assembly has a sight glass that lets maintenance personnel see if condensate reached a level requiring the system to be drained. www.nevertrip.com Consulting-Specifying Engineer • M AY 2008 Specifiers Guide 11 http://www.fike.com http://www.boschsecurity.us http://www.eaton.com http://www.kiddefiresystems.com http://www.nevertrip.com http://www.Liebert.com
