New Relays Protect Process Equipment
Highly automated process industries can’t run the risk of production line shutdowns. The new control measurement relay line, Zelio® RM17 and RM35, monitors and detects abnormal operating conditions and informs users of these conditions so that action can be taken to prevent shutdowns. The relays enable users to initiate necessary corrective action to avoid equipment damage or serious and costly breakdowns.

The RM17 and RM35 relays offer expanded functionality to monitor more values. They also maintain a consistent appearance with other Schneider Electric control products, making them an attractive choice for control panel builders who seek uniformity.

We offer four new categories of control measurement relays — frequency, pump, speed and temperature control — expand protection into additional fields and more equipment. They join the existing control and measurement relays:  phase control, voltage, current and level.

Osiprox® Capacitive Sensors
For use in Packaging and Conveyance, Food and Beverage, Assembly and Canning and Filling, the rugged, easy to operate capacitive sensor line, Osiprox® Capacitive Sensors are ideal for sensing non-metal objects, level control of fluids and granular material.

The capacitive proximity sensors offer nickel-plated housing with ratings of IP65 and 67 which make them ideal for harsh environments. They and are programmable in Normally Open or Normally Closed functionality with NPN / PNP outputs and do not require physical contact between the object and sensor. Depending on the dielectric constant (εr) level, adjustments can be made to “zero out” the presence of an object allowing the sensor to sense “through” a bulk material or liquid level.

The Osiprox® Capacitive Sensors feature a LED status indicator and the threshold level is adjustable via a 20-turn potentiometer at the rear of the sensor.

Vigirex™ Ground-fault Relays
Designed to help protect equipment and reduce downtime from damage due to ground faults, the new Vigirex Ground-fault Relays also provide warnings when preventative maintenance is needed.

The wide range of Vigirex relays can be used at all levels of an installation: power distribution, industrial control, final distribution and for a variety of OEM equipment. The relays are offer increased immunity to nuisance tripping at low sensitivities and protect electrical distribution systems from low-level earth leakage and high level ground faults.

They are available for panel or DIN-mount installation and offer a variety of sensors for a wide range of amperages (10A to 3200A) and ground-fault setting from 30mA to 30Amps. For more information about Vigirex Ground-fault Relays, click here.

Nautilus™ XMLG Pressure Transmitter
The most versatile, reliable and easy to use solution for fluid control application, the Nautilus XMLG pressure transmitter is a necessary part of any pumping system.

The XMLG pressure transmitter converts applied pressure to an electrical signal that can be used to control and/or monitor a process variable. With pressure ranges from -14.5 to 8700 psi, analog current output (4-20mA),  and voltage output from 0-10V the XMLG pressure transmitters can be used anywhere exact pressure measurement is required.

The ceramic sensor technology meets stringent requirements for high impact mechanical performances and the compact, rugged, robust construction provides years of uninterrupted service and long-term stability. In addition, the XMLG pressure transmitter is designed with excellent immunity to electromagnetic interference and offers verified environmental protection with IP66 and IP67 ratings. Short-circuit and reverse polarity protection are standard features and the product will not leak in the event the destruction pressure is exceeded.
