Lighting fixtures

Available in three models, the TP series of lighting fixtures has an internal accessory cartridge, which takes a wide range of C-size accessories like color filters, spread lenses, light-blocking screens, and louvers. The TPM38 metal halide fixture is available in 70W or 100W, with a lamp-life of 10,000 hours. The TP36 fixture has a snap-in socket that accepts PAR36 and AR111 lamps as high as 75W. The line voltage TP38 takes any PAR38 energy-conserving, medium screw-based lamp. Each lamp is made of extruded and cast aluminum and is available in graphite, platinum, silver, black, and white finishes.

Battery capacity analyzers

Available in two models, these battery capacity analyzers can complete a test in about 6 sec to determine the serviceability of a battery for use in emergency lighting, UPS backup, service, research and engineering, test, and manufactured bench applications. The model 601 can identify the capacity of 6V and 12V lead acid batteries, and the model 602 works with 24V and 36V lead acid batteries that may have be deteriorated or are defective. Both analyzers measure and digitally display the percentage of capacity left in the battery.

DC power supplies

Available in three models, the Telemecanique Phaseo DC power supplies have integrated overload, short-circuit, overvoltage, and undervoltage protection. They're now more compact with a high degree of output voltage stability, and come in a modular format to install in control panels. The single-phase power supplies measure 2.25 in. × 2.75 in and provide the DC voltage necessary for applications with 100VAC to 240VAC and 12VDC to 24VDC. The 3-phase ABL7UPS is available in 10A, 20A, and 40A and is designed to accept 420VAC to 520VAC and output 24VDC. The ABL7CEM measures 3-in. × 1.75 in. × 2.75 in. and it accepts 100VAC to 240VAC, and outputs 24VDC, and can accept dual frequencies that cover 40 Hz to 50 Hz in one unit.
