EMCIA

COMPONENT OF THE WEEK

Azbil C15MTV0TA0200 (also known as SDC15 or Model C15) is a compact single-loop digital PID temperature controller. It is a panel-mounted device (48 × 48 mm, 1/8 DIN size) designed for precise measurement and control of temperature (and sometimes other process variables) in industrial applications.

APPLICATION IN THE INDUSTRY

✅ Industrial ovens and furnaces (electric, vacuum, etc.)

✅ Plastic injection molding and extrusion.

✅ Packaging machines (sealers, shrink tunnels).

✅ Food processing and drying equipment.

✅ Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

✅ Chemical and pharmaceutical reactors.

✅ Laboratory equipment and test rigs.

TEMPERATURE INSTRUMENTS (FIELD DEVICES) & CALIBERATION TOOLS (CALIBERATORS)

INSTRUMENT COMMISSIONING

COMPONENT OF THE WEEEK

Fluke 1664 FC Multifunction Installation Tester

FEATURES:

✔️ Rugged, ergonomic design with a yellow-and-gray case, large rotary dial selector on the right for switching between test modes (e.g., INSULATION RISO, CONTINUITY RLO, LOOP ZL, RCD types, VOLTS, EARTH, PHASE ROTATION).

✔️ Large backlit LCD screen (currently off or in standby in the photo).
Buttons: TEST (large silver button), MEMORY, F1–F4 function keys, ON/OFF, backlight, and arrow keys for navigation.

✔️ Fluke Connect compatibility (FC model) for wireless data transfer via Bluetooth to a smartphone app.

✔️ Insulation Pre-Test (unique to the 1664 FC) — a safety feature that detects if appliances or loads are still connected and aborts high-voltage insulation testing to prevent damage.

✔️ Auto Test function — performs multiple required tests (up to 7) in a single sequence with one connection, significantly reducing test time.

✔️ Supports testing of EV charging stations (RCD type A-EV or RDC-DD for 6 mA DC residual current devices).

PRIMARY APPLICATIONS

✅ The 1664 FC is used to:Verify that fixed electrical installations are correctly wired and safe before energization or after modifications.

✅ Perform initial verification, periodic inspection, and certification of electrical systems.

✅ Test RCDs/GFCIs (residual current devices) for proper operation.
Conduct insulation testing on wiring without damaging connected equipment (thanks to Pre-Test).

✅ Measure fault loop impedance to ensure protective devices (circuit breakers, fuses) will trip quickly enough in case of a fault.
Support EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) testing, including special DC-sensitive RCDs.

✅ Generate compliant test reports for regulatory bodies or clients (data can be stored, shared wirelessly, or imported into software for certificates).

COMPONENT OF THE WEEK

Honeywell BW™ MicroClip XL (also known as Gas Alert Micro Clip XL), a compact, portable multi-gas detector.

It is a personal safety instrument designed to simultaneously monitor and detect up to four atmospheric hazards in real time.

✅ Combustible gases (LEL — Lower Explosive Limit, typically 0-100% LEL or 0-5% v/v)

✅ Oxygen (O₂) (0-30% by volume)

✅ Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) (0-100 ppm)

✅ Carbon monoxide (CO) (0-500 ppm)

Common industries and use cases include

1. Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and Refining: Monitoring for H₂S (sour gas), CO, and combustible hydrocarbons during drilling, production, maintenance, and pipeline work.

2. Confined Space Entry (e.g., tanks, vessels, sewers, manholes, silos): Mandatory in many safety protocols for pre-entry testing and continuous monitoring.

3. Construction and Tunneling: Detecting oxygen displacement, CO from equipment exhaust, or flammable vapors in trenches and enclosed sites.

4. Utilities and Electrical (e.g., vaults, substations, wastewater treatment): Identifying low O₂ or explosive gas buildup.

4. Manufacturing and Chemical Processing: Protecting against leaks or vapors from machinery, solvents, or processes.

6. Mining, Firefighting, and Emergency Response: Personal protection in a variable or hazardous atmosphere.

7. Laboratories and General Industrial Maintenance: Monitoring storage areas or workspaces for CO buildup or oxygen issues.

It is especially popular because of its affordability, ease of use (one-button navigation, automatic calibration/bump test reminders), reliability, and long shift runtime, making it suitable for daily wear by field technicians, operators, and safety personnel.

Many organizations use it as part of a broader gas detection program that includes bump testing, calibration, and fleet management software.

The 3rd delivery for the week is a diaphragm repair kit (also called a wear parts set or Verschleißteilsatz) with part number 1247732.0000.00000. It is specifically designed for the Buschjost 8493635 (a 2-inch pulse jet solenoid valve)

This week's 2nd delivery is Allen-Bradley Bulletin 855PC Panel Mount Sounder with LED, It is a compact industrial signaling device manufactured by Rockwell Automation under the Allen-Bradley brand.
