Product Spotlight IEN / AUGUST '16 15 www.ien.com MRO/Plant Maintenance Dual-Laser Infrared Thermometer Klein Tools (Lincolnshire, IL) introduces a multi-function 12:1 Dual-Laser Infrared Ther- mometer (Cat. No. IR5) at an opening price point for professional-grade IR thermometers. The IR5 features dual-lasers that use a tight 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio for accurate mea- suring of temperatures between -22°F and 752°F. It also offers several calculation modes for a wide range of temperature measurement applications. According to Klein, dual-laser targeting technology makes it easier to visualize the area being measured by an IR thermometer, resulting in more accurate measurement performance versus a single laser. The IR5 is compact with a soft-touch, overmolded housing for comfort and can withstand drops of more than six feet onto concrete or steel. www.kleintools.com; 847-821-5500 Training Simulators for Operations & Maintenance Personnel Russelectric (Hingham, MA) Training Simulators allow operations and maintenance personnel to train on the automatic (and manual) operation of Russelectric Power Control Systems in the safety and comfort of an offi ce environment. Designed and programmed to mimic the actual operation and performance of the customer's Russelectric switchgear/system, Russelectric Simulators help person- nel: • Familiarize themselves with the system and its operation. • Accurately diagnose a range of utility, generator and breaker problems. • Assess the impact of changes to programmable logic controller (PLC) setpoints, such as kW values and time delays by seeing how the system responds. By allowing personnel to run an almost limitless number of failure scenarios, Russelectric Training Simulators are also a powerful tool for developing and validating site operating and emergency procedures without interfering with the operation of the actual system. And any time the switchgear is upgraded, the simulator can also be used to thoroughly test the modifi ed PLC and operator interface panel (OIP) logic before downloading it to the online PLC system, reducing live system testing time. www.russelectric.com; 781-749-6000 Trial Offer 2 King Sized Cans for $14.50 plus $5.95 shipping SUBSCRIBE TO AT WWW.IEN.COM/SUBSCRIBE Electronic Counter Helps Manage Pneumatic Tools Cleco, a brand of Apex Tool Group (Sparks, MD), introduces its new TULMan Electronic Counter, a universal product designed to effectively manage pneumatic tools. The electronic counter allows users to mon- itor tool usage and implement preventative maintenance.
