Not all Sensors are
Created Equal
With the experience gained from
21 years of manufacturing sensors for the demanding industrial
and meteorological markets, Enercorp has created a series of quality
Energy Management sensors.
Our goal has been to design into
these sensors the long term reliability and accuracy expected
of industrial sensors while employing mass produced components
and volume production techniques to achieve costing required by
energy management customers.
Site replacement of failed sensors
can be very expensive and relying on data from inaccurate sensors
can be even more costly. Enercorp has taken the decision to design
in reliability and accuracy even if this adds to the development
cost because we believe this will result in the lowest long term
system cost and most trouble-free operation.
If you've ever installed a duct
sensor you'll appreciate our hinged cover and single captive screw
design. If you've dropped the mounting screws and had to go back
down a ladder to find them or set the cover down and misplaced
it in construction debris you may refuse to use anything else.
We think about cost and ease of installation.
Have you ever had the buiding engineer
mad at you when you took his glass thermometers away so you could
use the thermowell for the DDC system? Take a look at our pipe
sensor with LED readout. You get your choice of DDC sensor and
he gets a bright beautiful degital readout. That 's win/win. When
using these old thermometer wells our adaptor bushings and brass
sleeves make the job simple and professional.
These are just some examples of
how we try to make our sensors the best value on the market. When
you compare our "apples" to the other guys "oranges", take
a look at some details the other guys may have left out:
- Enclosures: Our hinged
covers are easily closed with one captive screw. Slots for transmitter
boards and recesses for field labelling are incorporated. Some
competitors provide screws in a separate paper bag and leave
transmitter boards dangling from the case by their leads.
- Fully Assembled: Our
sensors are assembled when you receive them. Some competitors
provide a sensor, a case, a cover, and a bag of screws unassembled
and let you do the work.
- Sheath Closure: The end
of our sensor sheaths are TIG welded with 316 stainless steel
to provide continuous unbreakable protection for our sensing
elements. Some competitors glue a plug into the end of their
sheaths. If this plug vibrates loose the sensor may fail.
- Sensor/Lead Connection:
Enercorp solders the delicate sensing element legs to a miniature
circuit board and then solders the lead wire to the same circuit
board. This eliminates all strain. Some competitors connect
lead wires directly to the sensing element. If this junction
is strained during construction the sensor could fail prematurely.
- Certification: Enercorp
supplies all humidity instruments with a NIST traceable certificate
at no extra charge. Most competirors charge significantly
for this service if available at all.
- Status Monitoring: Our
new D225 current operated switch is factory set to switch whenever
current above 1 amp is flowing in the line being monitored.
No field adjustments are necessary. Just plug and play. Some
competitors products take longer to install because they must
be field adjusted.
- Calibration: All our
I/P transducers are individually calibrated for both voltage
and current inputs. Some competitors have no provision for
voltage calibrations.
- Air Quality: Our air
quality sensors are calibrated, interchangeable and offer 0-5V,0-10V
and 4-20mA true transmitter outputs, while being fully scaleable
and configurable from an inexpensive hand held programmer. Some
competitors have none of these features.
