March 2005 Products of the Week

March 14, 2005
EC&M's editors' picks for products of the week

Electrical block insulator















EnergyBlock is a piece of foam insulation molded to fit securely around standard electrical boxes, which reduces the chance of mold forming due to moist inside air escaping and condensing on an exterior wall. Electricians can install EnergyBlock in less than two minutes, and it’s sealed after rough wiring is complete so there’s no chance of breaking the seal. The block provides a solid R-10 insulation behind the outlet every time and meets the International Building Code for flame spread and smoke development.

Low-profile occupancy sensors




























Available in three models, this family of occupancy sensors features 360° coverage, advanced detection technology, and a low-profile design. The ceiling-mount sensors come in either line and low-voltage models and feature SmartSet technology, which allows the sensors to automatically adjust time delay and sensitivity based on occupancy activity and space characteristics. The UT-300 features ultrasonic sensing technology, the CI-300 employs passive infrared (PIR) technology for occupancy detection, and the DT-300 relies on both ultrasonic and PIR sensing technologies. The sensors also feature a walkout mode that turns lights off automatically after brief visits.
