Stout Tool Launches Revolutionary Cutting Station

Stout Tool Corp is proud to announce the launch of The Ultimate Cutting Station.

The Ultimate Cutting Station, a portable "docking" system, converts Stout's new, improved hand-held X-Band STX-250™ series cordless band saw into a compact, bench top, stationary cutting sensation.  Stout's cutting station allows professionals, trades people, contractors and do-it-yourselfers to cut virtually anything, anywhere.

The Ultimate Cutting Station allows users to cut materials up to 2-1/2" in diameter without ever picking up a tool.

The Ultimate Cutting Station can be transported easily between jobsites and workshops or from construction sites to lifts.  Rather than dragging materials back and forth between a stationary band saw and the worksite, contractors and do-it-yourselfers can bring The Ultimate Cutting Station and the X-Band saw to materials.

Blackburn ® Direct-Burial Splice Kits Offer Simple Weatherproof Splicing of Underground Cable

Thomas & Betts has simplified the splicing of underground cables with the introduction of Blackburn ® Direct-Burial Splice Kits, which require no training to install, are UL ®-listed for direct burial and rated for 600 volts. Available in two models, one for underground feeder (UF) and one for non-UF cables, Direct-Burial Splice Kits offer a one-piece design that makes splicing cables for direct-burial applications quick and easy. Both kits include an outer heat-shrink tubing insulator, making them weatherproof and watertight for underground installation, and adhesive for proper sealing, with no additional adhesive products required.

Ruud Responds With 1000-Watt Area Light

In response to the increasing demand for a higher wattage area light, Ruud Lighting has created the AeroDome TM , a 1000-watt area light.

The AeroDome is available in a Type III, Type IV and Type V optic and meets IESNA Full Cutoff Classification. Its rugged one-piece, die-cast aluminum 25” wide by
14.5” deep housing accommodates 250- to 1000-watt PSMH, MH and HPS lamps. Mountings include Side-Arm or Round Tube Center Direct Post-Top. Both feature an integral one-piece, field-replaceable electrical component ballast module with a quick-disconnect design for ease of installation and long-term serviceability . T he high-impact, clear tempered glass lens secured to the die-cast aluminum door frame features a high-temperature silicone gasket that seals the lens from water and insects. The lens assembly features a tool-less, quick-release mechanism for easy maintenance.

The AeroDome features our exclusive Colorfast DeltaGuard TM finish with ultra-durable powder topcoat and is covered by a 7-year warranty.

The AeroDome is well-suited to large parking lots with strict cutoff and uniformity codes. It achieves higher footcandle averages, minimums and improved uniformities when compared to a 400-watt fixture. Contact our Application Engineering Department for more information.

 


Amprobe ® Introduces the New DM-III Multitest and DM-III Multitest F

Amprobe, a business unit of SPX Corporation, has announced its new DM-III Multitest and DM-III Multitest F. Both models are feature-rich and support multiple electrical applications.

 The DM-III Multitests incorporate advanced single and three phase Power Quality Recorder, Megohmmeter, Ground Resistance and Resistivity testers, and measure and record a broad spectrum of PQ parameters, including: AC Current, AC Voltage to 600V (including Sags and Surges), Harmonics (THD and individual up to 49 th), Active, Reactive and Apparent Power & Energy, Peak Demand, Power Factor, Frequency and Phase Sequence. The DM-III Multitest is supplied with standard 1000A current transducers, and the DM-III Multitest F with Flexible 3000A.

Both instruments feature a built-in advanced Megohmmeter with selectable 50,100, 250, 500 and 1000 testing voltages and a programmable timer to perform the dielectric absorption radio test. The Sensitive Ohmmeter allows technicians to check for resistance of motor windings, and selectable polarization of the ohmmeter allows for checking ground continuity. The Automatic Voltmeter protects against misuse on hazardous energized systems.

Additionally, both models perform advanced ground resistance and resistivity tests such as the 2 point continuity/resistance test, 3 point Fall of Potential test and 4 point Earth Resistivity measurement. The DM-III Multitests come as complete kits, including: CTs, Voltage Leads, Ground Probes and Leads, PC software and a download cable. For more information, visit www.amprobe.com
