Ram Meter Inc. - July 2020 Newsletter

July 7th, 2020:
We have just released our July 2020 Newsletter. Read on to see what we have in store this month.

In addition to celebrating the birth of our American independence this month, here at Ram Meter Inc. we are also celebrating the addition of a brand new product line - Phares Sensors!

Why Phares? It's simple! Not only are they made right here in the USA, but Phares helps customers solve problems! Their years of experience enable them to develop technology and apply it in new ways. They offer innovative solutions incorporating field-proven products and technologies which enables them to develop and deliver solutions ideally suited to your equipment and process requirements.

At Phares, quality means producing products that match or exceed customer expectations. They’re continually testing new designs as well as updating and improving existing products. Their products are built with confidence. They are robust, reliable, low maintenance, and able to withstand hostile environments such as heat, corrosion, humidity, and vibration. And once again, they're made in the USA!

Phares MS0303-04 Mini Hall Effect Sensor

The Phares MS0303 Electric Digital Output Hall Effect Sensor switches logic low ("0") when the magnetic field strength at the sensor face exceeds the hall effect operate point threshold, and switches logic high ("1") when the magnetic field strength falls below release point threshold. The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the hysteresis of the Hall Effect Sensor. This built-in hysteresis allows clean, fast switching of the output, even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. The omnipolar operation allows activation with either a north or a south polarity field of sufficient strength. In the absence of a magnetic field, the output is off.

Features:

  • MS0303-04 = Sinking NPN Square Wave Output w/4 ft wire length
  • Output Signal: Square Wave
  • Senses magnetic targets
  • Operating voltage range: 5-24 VDC
  • Operating Temperature: -40°F to 140°F
  • Magnetic Pole Detect: North and South (Positive and Negative Field)
  • Dimensions (in inches): 3” Long, 5/8” Diameter, 5/8”-18 UNF Threads

Phares ZS09P1-120M Zero Speed Sensor

The Phares ZS09P Zero Speed Switch Sensor is a self-contained device that combines sensor and switch for use in over speed, under speed, or zero speed applications. It senses magnetic or high iron content targets, depending on model #. Outputs are isolated and can be easily integrated with any controller or existing system. It is about the size of a prox switch, but incorporates intelligent speed sensing circuitry not found in simple on/off devices. Use the ZS09P Zero Speed Switch Sensor for switching control circuit loads up to 5 amps. When motion is either detected or reaches set-point (depending upon application), the relay output changes state. It remains in this state until under speed or zero speed condition occurs (depending upon application).

Features:

  • ZS09P1-120M = SPDT N.O./N.C Power Relay Output, 120VAC Input for sensing Magnetic materials
  • Self-contained unit incorporates sensor and relay
  • Isolated outputs with 5 Amp switching capacity
  • Operating voltages: 6-24VDC or 120VAC (depending on model)
  • Senses magnetic or ferrous targets (depending on model)
  • Use outdoors or in wash down areas
  • Adjustable Set-Point
  • Diagnostic indicators
  • Not rotation direction sensitive
  • Relay latch option

Phares T6-A-E5 5-Digit Panel Mount Tachometer

The Phares Model T6 Panel Mount Process Tachometer is an economical, easy to use, maintenance free device which utilizes proactive sensing to catch potential issues before they become a problem. Proactive sensing provides a soft landing instead of a hard crash. This prevents broken belts, gears, chains, sprockets, shear pin, and stressed, overheated electric motors. The T6 Process Tachometer features an LED display, 0-10V and 4-20mA analog output signals, and 3 SPDT programmable relays, giving you real time support for your production line. The power of data visibility dramatically improves your production. Typical applications include belt conveyors, drag conveyors, bucket elevators, fans, blowers, rock crushers, and pumps.

Features:

  • T6-A-E5 = 5-Digit Red LED Display w/100-240 VAC Power
  • Process tachometer with programmable relays and LED display
  • Red LED display, 1/2″ high alpha numeric characters
  • Adjustable parameters
  • 3 programmable relays with isolated N.O./N.C. (Form ‘C’) contacts
  • Isolated relay contacts make integration easy into new or existing systems
  • 4-20mA and 0-10V output signals, scalable, proportional to speed
  • 4-20mA loop externally powered or powered via the T6 Tachometer
  • 1 – 5,000 PPR (pulse per revolution), adjustable
  • Universal sensor input, 2 or 3 wire, PNP or NPN for added ease of integration
  • Measure RPM, Feet/Minute, and more
  • Programmable Scaling and Decimal Points
  • Suitable for use in wash down areas (IP67)

Need a tach for that speed sensing application? Then look no further than the Phares T6-A-E5 5-Digit Panel Mount Tachometer!

Phares UMS03-04 Ultra Mini Hall Effect Sensor
