CALEDONIAN CONTROL TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (CCTL) LAUNCHES ECS10 MOTOR CURRENT MONITOR

Caledonian Control Technology Limited (CCTL)

07/07/2008

CCTL are pleased to announce that the ECS10 motor current monitor is now available for use with their range of commercial kitchen gas interlock controls. The ECS10 is a fully indicating instrument that allows an output relay to operate at precisely determined current levels.

Managing Director, Bernard Patrick continues: “Whilst the HSE accepts the use of current monitoring as a means of proving the safe operation of fans, it is important to realise that this type of sensor can only be safely used if safe ‘pull-in’ and ‘drop-out’ current levels are precisely determined and then set. All too often installations are encountered that are unsafe because an inappropriate ‘works every-time’ current level is used.

For safety critical applications such as BS6173, the ECS10 allows the ‘pull-in’ and ‘drop-out’ current levels to be set both quickly and easily via the front panel.

The clear LCD screen continuously displays the average motor current during operation. When the ECS10 is used in conjunction with the certified EMX50 gas interlock control, the system will perform to internationally accepted fail safe levels.

Lastly, a word of caution, in that the relationship between fans motor current consumption and the workload of the fan is dependent on several factors. If a fan motor has been greatly oversized it may well be impossible to use its’ current consumption as a safe indicator of performance.”
