Three-phase UPS expands the product line into the lower power segment, now available in a 150-kVA rating. Offering digital electronics and the elimination of batteries, the UPS also features one of the smallest packages in the industry. In addition, the unit has a ride-through system that provides constant power conditioning and voltage regulation. (UPS 150 by Caterpillar )

Programmable logic controller has a native network interface that allows up to eight units to communicate and share data with one another while each runs its own program. Memory capacity is sufficient to store 256 lines of logic, and the built-in LCD screen can display 32 screens of text with up to 64 characters per screen. (EASY 800 by Moeller Electric Corp. )

Vertical self-contained air conditioner offers system redundancy by providing individual systems per floor. Designed specifically for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. (Versecon by Des Champs Technologies )

Category-6 UTP cable features reduced installation costs for horizontal cable runs, by achieving Category-6 performance without the use of a spline, special pair separators, bonded pairs or other unusual features. With an overall diameter of only 0.225 in., the cabling is also intended for use in non-flexing equipment cords for high-performance networks. (DataMax 6 by Quabbin )

Multi-point alarm communications transmitter specifically fits into the company’s multiplexed system where point identification of alarm, supervisory and trouble events is desired at central or remote monitoring stations. The unit transmits information to the monitoring station through phone lines using standard communications protocols, and may be utilized in both new and existing applications.

Digital phase converter allows users to supply three-phase power from a single-phase source. The 10-hp model provides power quality superior to that provided by older phase converter technologies—and even utility-supplied three-phase power—making it suitable for the operation of modern electrical equipment. Other models are being developed ranging from 7.5 to 40 hp in 230 or 460 volts. (Phase Perfect by Phase Technologies, LLC )

Facility monitoring device offers a lower cost option for web-based monitoring and alarm notification. The unit monitors environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and power, and can also monitor alarms from critical site equipment. The wall- or rack-mounted device will accept up to four digital signals and two analog signals. (Falcon Lite by RLE Technologies )
