Web-based search engine

Autodesk Seek is a Web-based service that allows users to search for building parts and associated design files and specifications directly from within their CAD or BIM application. According to the company, once the design files are located, they can be dropped directly into the user's building model or drawing, reducing the need to recreate individual components in the design. Available in the 2009 U.S. versions of the company's Revit-based software applications, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, and AutoCAD MEP, the Web service is also accessible through standard browsers.

CFL housings

This redesigned socket cup is for the company's Architektur Series of compact fluorescent housings. The socket cup features a new spring position to provide easier installation and adjustment to the reflector, according to the company. The updated design also ensures the lamp maintains its vertical position and improves rigidity and consistency from cup to cup and spring to spring. In addition, the product's minimized height changes to the socket cup to accommodate limited plenum spaces.

Electrical connector

The Powerpole T-Pak is designed to work with the company's 4-position Powerpole Pak connectors. According to the company, the unit splits the current from one incoming circuit into two outgoing circuits. Made from high-impact and corrosion-resistant black thermoplastic, the device is preassembled for a 20A, 3-phase AC configuration. The electrical contacts use the company's red, black, and white standard 30A poles and the green pre-mate ground pole. Two mounting holes allow the unit to be mounted in any location, and integral latches prevent accidental disconnection of equipment.

Combination devices

This line of decorator combination devices is outfitted in a thermoplastic rocker, top, and backbody. Ultrasonic welding and integrated construction of the strap and body also provide enhanced ground integrity. In addition, the product's automatic grounding system eliminates the need for a bonding jumper in a grounded metal enclosure and provides a redundant measure of ground continuity where a jumper is used. Specially crafted switches feature a break-off provision for wiring multiple devices on the same circuits or separate circuits.

Emergency ballast

The B4CF3 Cold-Pak extended temperature fluorescent emergency ballast is designed for use in compact lamps. Measuring 6.0 in. × 5.5 in. × 1.62 in., the ballast operates in temperatures ranging from -4°F to +131°F and is suitable for use in damp locations as well as sealed and gasketed fixtures. In addition, the device powers one 13W to 42W twin, quad or triple twin-tube, 22W to 40W T5 circline, or 18W to 39W long compact lamp for a minimum of 90 min. in emergency mode and provides up to 1,250 lumens of initial light output.

Voltage detection switch

The CVDS-120 contact voltage detection switch signals hazardous, life-threatening stray or contact voltages on lighting poles. The device's housing contains a single, visible red/green single indicator life that signals a safe energized power load (green) or an unsafe de-energized load (red) or a complete loss of all power (no indicator light). The indicator light operates in 50 msec from green to red and switches back when power is reset. When red, power load shuts off in 120 msec. Detector switch sensitivity operates to 6.5 µA at 33VAC.
