Temperature measurement device

The 3460 2D Thermo HiTester performs 2D temperature measurement with a thermopile array sensor (8 x 8 elements), dividing the measured part of the visual image into 64 boxes and displaying the temperature with a high-speed response of about .2 sec. The standard unit offers three selectable screen display modes (visual image, 64-point mosaic, and 64-point box display) and is equipped with a compact flash card slot, making it possible to simultaneously record an image in JPEG format and measurement data in CSV format.

GFCIs

The SmartLock meets UL’s new listing requirements for GFCIs that went into effect Jan. 1, 2003, including a diagnostic indication of line/load miswiring, greater surge immunity, and improved criteria for corrosion-resistance. The unit’s lock-out action prevents continued use it if it’s damaged and no longer offers protection. The TEST button can still be operated in the event of an open neutral condition even though the GFCI circuit is no longer powered. A built-in line-load reversal feature also prevents the GFCI from resetting if the load and line connections are mistakenly reversed.
