CtrlSpecBuilder™Launch of Free, On-line HVAC Specification Tool

CtrlSpecBuilder™ provides tool for preparing quicker, easier specifications

Atlanta, GA -  - A new website was recently launched providing HVAC engineers with a new productivity tool. Previously engineers wrote specifications from scratch, cut & pasted from previous projects, or relied on proprietary vendor "canned" specifications. CtrlSpecBuilder is a free, on-line tool that prepares non-proprietary, custom specifications. It follows ASHRAE Guideline 13-2000, Specifying Direct Digital Control Systems, and CSI MasterFormat for section 15900. This tool also generates point lists and sequences of control for all HVAC equipment in the project, and can provide specifications in US or metric units.

CtrlSpecBuilder prepares specifications in a fraction of the time previously required, and eliminates the omitted or conflicting text common to "cut & paste." It makes it simple to specify new technology, like BACnet, web-based controls, and advanced energy savings options. By reducing errors and preparing detailed specifications, it will reduce change orders and cost overruns.

CtrlSpecBuilder can be accessed at www.ctrlspecbuilder.com.

Stylish New Color CCD Camera from Samsung Combine Both High Resolution and Vari-Focal Auto Iris Lens

New Color CCD Camera from Samsung Secaucus, NJ – Samsung Camera has introduced a new, economical series of high resolution CCD cameras equipped with a 3.8mm to 9.5mm auto iris vari-focal lens for ease of installation and crisp monitoring.

The SOC- 4020 series Color Cameras come in 24 volt AC or 12 volt DC versions. All cameras feature 1/3” interline-transfer color CCD technology with 410,000 pixels. They achieve a horizontal resolution of 480TV lines and a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux at F1.2. The SOC-4020 has been designed to be at a price advantage over the traditional price of a separate camera and lens combination.

The cameras offer excellent backlight compensation, as well as sharpness control, flickerless control, and white balance. According to Samsung Camera’s National Sales Manager for CCTV Frank Polidoro, because of their good looks, excellent backlight compensation and sharp imaging, the SOC-4020 cameras are outstanding candidates for mounting in modern interiors in places such as banks, hotels, theatres, restaurants, airports, department stores and office buildings. Additionally, since the camera and lens are an integrated combination this eliminates the need for the installing dealer to stock multiple parts.

Industrial Ethernet SwitchNew Industrial Ethernet Switch Provides the Engineer More Control in Monitoring Networks

Downers Grove, Illinois - The Ethernet Switch is essential to the operation of a building automation network. Engineers not only need ruggedized hardware but the ability to adjust individual parameters in the switch. Contemporary Controls meets these requirements with the design of its new, configurable switch in the CTRLinkÒ family-the EISC16-100T.

It has 16 10/100 Mbps twisted-pair ports plus an additional RJ-45 connector for an uplink connection. Engineers need to detect a fault in the network which can be accomplished through the switch's programmable fault relay. The fault relay contact can interface to annunciator devices, or act as an input to a controller (PLC, PC, etc). Programmed monitored faults include power loss to the switch, communication link down and unexpected communication link up on any number of ports. Besides the auto-negotiation of data rate, duplex and flow control, these settings can be manually configured for each port to provide reliable operation upon powerup.
