Wireless Gas Detection Transceivers

Detcon’s Model RXT-300 wireless transceivers are ideal for transmitting signal data in a wide range of industrial detection and alarm system applications. Signal data can be analog 4-20mA DC or serial MOD-BUS™. Wireless network integrity and security is achieved using direct sequence spread spectrum wireless mesh technology. Applications can be as simple as a single field device communicatiing with a host controller, or any number of field devices forming a network of subscribers. — Detcon, 888/367-4286, www.detcon.com Circle 1 on Card

Safe Storage for Combustibles

These buildings are designed for compliant storage of Class 3, and other combustibles, such as lubricants and some oils. Many industries find prefabricated buildings to be a safe, cost effective drum storage solution. Drums may be stored for inactive use and supply, or they may be outfitted with pumps for continuous access to dispensing. Many accessories are available such as; ventilation, lighting, and climate control. All buildings include spill containment. Interior and exterior wall finish is a high performance epoxy base primer, and a high finish modified urethane top coat that provides resistance to abrasion and corrosion. — US Chemical Storage, 800/233-1480, www.uschemicalstorage.com Circle 3 on Card

Welder’s Cooling System

The CoolBelt™ is a lightweight belt-mounted cooling system that integrates into most Miller welding helmets. Designed for extreme industrial environments, it offers multiple air speeds with directional air controls to provide air movement over the user’s face and head.
