A multicolor module supporting up to three standard colors in a single segment is now available for Banner Engineering’s TL70 tower light. This module has the same brightness and form factor as a single color segment and can be used to replace a three segment tower light – ideal for applications where tower space is at a premium. A TL70 can accommodate one multicolor module per light. A single color segment or audible module may also be used with a multicolor module used in the bottom position.
Also available for the TL70 tower light is a loud 101 dB audible module. This module is twice as loud as the standard audible module and the volume can be controlled via dipswitches on the module. This module specifically addresses customer requests for a louder audible module that can be easily heard in environments where high ambient noise competes with critical alerts and alarms.
FEATURES
- Standard audible 92 dB or louder 101 dB audible modular segments available
- A single multicolor modular segment supports up to three standard colors (2-color and 3-color models available)
- Modular or pre-assembled versions available
- Bright illuminated modules provide easy-to-see operator guidance and indication of equipment status
- Light and audible segments are easy to configure using DIP switches on each segment
- Rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV stabilized material
- Black or gray housing options available
- Cost-effective, and easy-to-install multi-segment indicators
- Segments appear gray when off to eliminate false indication from ambient light
- Choice of 5 different LED segment colors: red, green, yellow, blue, white
- Three flash rates per LED segment: solid on, 1.5 Hz flashing, 3 Hz flashing
- 92 dB or 101 dB alarm with four audible tones per unit: pulsed, chirp, siren, continuous

The new UNO-UPS from Phoenix Contact is a compact, 24 V DC solution used to provide standby power in the event of an AC mains power loss. This UPS is perfect for compact controllers, PLCs, an HMI, and other low-power devices.
This cost-effective UPS includes an integrated 0.8 Ah VRLA, Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) lead-acid battery. This battery allows for application temperatures from
-15°C to +50°C. You can expect this AGM battery to last for up to five years.
LEDs indicate the unit’s operational condition. The status may also be communicated to a supervisory control system through the integrated status contacts. Additionally, the battery runtime can be adjusted by a rotary dial to prevent the battery from being deep-discharged. Runtime may also be controlled through remote shutdown input.
An external 24 V DC power supply is required to supply input power to the UNO-UPS. The UNO AC to DC power supply, P/N 2902992, is an ideal choice to power this UPS.

The Platinum Series family of microprocessor-based PID controllers offer unparalleled flexibility in process measurement. While extremely powerful and versatile, great care has gone into designing a product that is very easy to set-up and use. The automatic hardware configuration recognition eliminates the need for jumpers and allows the firmware to automatically simplify itself, eliminating all menu options that do not apply to a specific configuration. Offered in 1⁄32, 1⁄16, and 1⁄8 DIN sizes, the 1⁄16 and 1⁄8 DIN models can be configured with dual displays.
Each unit allows you to select the input type from 9 thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, and N), Pt RTDs (100, 500, or 1000 Ω, with either 385, 392, or 3916 curve), thermistors (2250 Ω, 5K Ω, and 10K Ω), DC voltage, or DC current. The full bidirectional voltage or current inputs are fully scalable to virtually all engineering units, with a selectable decimal point that is perfect for use with pressure, flow, or other process input.
Control can be achieved by using on/off, PID or heat/ cool control modes. PID control can be optimized with an autotune feature; and in addition, a fuzzy logic adaptive tuning mode allows the PID algorithm to be continuously optimized. The instrument offers up to 16 ramp and soak segments per ramp and soak program, with auxiliary event actions available with each segment. Up to 99 ramp and soak programs can be created and program chaining offers unparalelled programming flexibility. Multiple alarms can be configured for above, below, hi/lo, and band triggering using either absolute or deviation alarm trigger points.
The Platinum Series temperature controller features a large, 9-segment LED, three-color, programmable display with the capability to change color and/or change the state of designated outputs every time an Alarm is triggered. Various configurations of mechanical relay, SSR, dc pulse, and analog voltage or current outputs are available. Every unit comes standard with USB communications for firmware updates, configuration management, and data transfer. Optional ethernet (1⁄16 DIN and 1⁄8 DIN models only) and RS232/ RS485 serial communications are also available. The Analog Output is fully scalable and may be configured as a proportional controller or as retransmission to follow your display. The universal power supply accepts 90 to 240 Vac. The low voltage power option accepts 24 Vac or 12 to 36 Vdc.Additional features usually found only on more expensive controllers make this the most powerful product in its class. Some of these additional standard features are: remote setpoint for cascaded control set-ups, high-high/low-low alarm functionality, external latch reset, external ramp and soak program initiation, combination heat/cool control mode, configuration save and transfer, and configuration password protection.

Phoenix Contact introduces three additions to the PTPOWER
family. PTPOWER 35, 50, and 150 now extend our reliable spring
type connection on conductors up to 300 MCM.
Screw-type connections have long dominated larger wire
terminations, because a suitable spring version was not available.
More customers have requested a spring-type version for the
added benefits it offers, including a faster termination as well as
consistent connection technology among all connections within
their cabinet. PTPOWER fulfills these requirements with a fast,
safe, and reliable connection.
These high-power blocks have a similar design and accessories to
their smaller counterparts in the CLIPLINE complete line, including
marking and testing adaptors.
All PTPOWER products from Phoenix Contact feature Power-Turn technology. This patented design enables
large conductors to be connected quickly and easily with the turn of a lever. Up to three high-quality springs
work with the prismatic terminal body base to create a vibration-resistant conductor connection that is stable in
the long term. In addition to this quick and safe Power-Turn feature, our unique push-in capabilities can still be
used. With the terminal block in the “closed” position, the user simply pushes a wire in until it stops. This is the
world’s fastest way to connect wires greater than 2 AWG.
FEATURES
- All PTPOWER blocks are UL Recognized
- Both DIN rail (15mm) and direct mounting versions available
- Product range includes sets of 3, 4, or 5 terminals at once
- Conductors enter through the side, eliminating the need to
accommodate a bending radius
- Two and three position insertion bridges available on 50, 95,
and 150 blocks
- Test points are included on both sides of the terminal, with an
option for a 4 mm test socket block
- The AGK 10-PTPOWER voltage pick-off terminal fits two
conductors up to 6 AWG
