wireless remote control for irregation

A sprinkler system generally consists of a powerful pump – for example, the pump that pumps out the water from a ditch. When the computer indicates that the spray gun has finished with its program, the pump is expected to stop immediately.

This is done with the help of an Aquarius transmitter and an Aquarius receiver.

Aquarius M2M system

The Aquarius is programmed as a transmitter that receives a signal from the spray gun and sends it to the pump (at a distance of 700 meters!) which then directly shuts down. All this without human intervention, without the touch of a button.

This solution comes from the demand for a stable communication signal that the user can always trust. Tyro Remotes offers this guarantee with the M2M control systems based on the latest radiographic technology.

Machine-to-machine

The term ‘M2M’ or ‘Machine to Machine’ stands for the communication between machines without any human intervention.

Service vehicle equipped with Tyro remote control
, , , , , ,

Arcxis, located in Belgium, specializes in fitting out commercial vehicles. For one of their customers, they have fitted out a service vehicle that uses a remote control by Tyro Remotes.

The commercial vehicle is fully equipped to provide maintenance and servicing for semi-trailers and trailers on the road should they run into problems. This vehicle is equipped with hose reels for compressed air, gas, and oxygen so that welding or other necessary repairs can also be carried out on the road.

The Pyxis 8F remote control in combination with the Aquarius 10F receiver is specifically configured for the 24V cable reel. The cable reel with 20 meters of cable and 13-pin plug is used to control the lighting on, e.g., a trailer. With the remote control in your hand, you can stand behind the trailer to easily and efficiently test the lighting.

This Wireless ATB is designed to be a simple cost-effective replacement for traditional ATB systems.

With a quick installation, it is an easy way to remove the headaches associated with the wires, rusted contact, and loose springs of traditional ATB systems.

This wireless system eliminates both the cable reel and the anti-two block switch and the headaches associated with them. The self-contained switch is immune to mechanical failures and water damage since both the switch and the receiver are designed with solid state components which are fully encapsulated; the system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible. There’s no need to worry about the potential for a cable being broken by branches or other objects and no more need for a cable reel.

This is also a perfect solution to eliminate the corrosion factor in the reel contacts and their loose springs. Installation is as simple as mounting the wireless switch at the boom tip and installing the receiver at the base of the boom. This simple installation allows OEMs to reduce manufacturing costs by removing brackets, wire guides, and the associated labor.

Dependable electronics are an absolute necessity in hazardous environments. However, the combination of combustible gases or dust with an arc or a spark from these products can potentially cause devastating fires or explosions. Whether you are at the chemical plant, on your oil platform or offshore drilling rig, in your mill, or somewhere equally as dangerous, all of your equipment is likely carrying a hazardous rating like Class I Div 2, Class I Div 1, IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 or Zone 2. But what does that mean exactly and how does this affect what lighting you should buy? Read on for more clarity on hazardous environments and ratings.

What is a hazardous location?

Hazardous locations are in more places than you think and it’s important to be aware of them if you are purchasing electronic equipment including LED lighting. Even your local gas/petrol station is considered a hazardous location because of the potential for an explosion. If, for example, a spark or lit cigarette collides with a drop or puddle of gasoline – FIRE! Your gas station needs hazardous-rated lighting.

According to UL (a US-based global certification laboratory), a hazardous location is “where explosion or fire hazards exist due to the presence of flammable gases, flammable or combustible liquid-produced vapors, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers or flyings.”

This could mean anything from the obvious like a drilling rig or chemical plant where highly flammable substances are mined or processed. Or it could mean the less obvious like a mill or sugar processing facility where the minute particles in the air have the potential to create a spark in the right conditions. Each facility is rated differently, based on their potential for explosion, which we’ll dive deeper into below.

What are some of the hazardous UL Ratings?

UL ratings are seen and adhered to most often in North America but do apply to countries in South America, Asia, and the Middle East. When looking at a hazardous UL rating, you’ll find the Class first and then the Division.

Dialight most often sees and certifies Class I, II, and III. The main difference between the three is the presence of flammable gases/vapors; combustible or conductive dust; or fibers like wood chips and cotton (see the chart below). The lower the Class the higher the hazard.

The Division (1 or 2) is what defines the likelihood of there being hazardous substances in enough ignitable concentrations in the atmosphere (i.e. what is the likelihood that there is enough gas or dust in a given situation that it would ignite or explode and what is the circumstance for that). If your facility is Div 1, it means that the particles or gases/vapors created at your facility are always potentially going to ignite and severe caution is needed to prevent a spark (think chemical processing). Div 2 means that an explosion or fire could only happen in the event of some breakdown or system failure but that extreme caution should still be observed to prevent catastrophe (ex. A platform in an oil refinery may be a CI D2 environment as the decks tend to be outdoors and far enough away from the source of the flammable gas. It would only become hazardous if an abnormal condition occurred like a valve failure or similar accident.)

What are some hazardous ATEX Ratings?

IECEx/ATEX ratings are seen most often in Europe, Australia, and parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. They are relatively similar to UL ratings in that the lower the Zone the higher the probability is for fire or explosion based on the materials present and their concentration in the atmosphere. Both UL and ATEX classify certain substances in groups. Check out our ATEX reference chart below.
