RACO Manufacturing & Engineering (Emeryville, California), is offering a new closed-loop control system designed to permit remote actuation of control relays upon receipt of alarm signals. The control system utilizes two RACO Verbatim Alarm Autodialing, Remote Monitoring, Reporting and Control Systems operating over standard dial-up landline or wireless telephone networks. Upon detection of an alarm signal, such as low water level in a tank being monitored, the master Verbatim calls the remote Verbatim to cause activation of a control output relay, which turns on a pump motor. Similarly, a following high water level alarm would initiate an action to turn the pump off. After each control command, the remote Verbatim acknowledges that the instruction was received. If the master Verbatim does not receive an acknowledgement from the remote Verbatim, it begins an alarm calling sequence, calling a list of emergency phone numbers until it gets an answer, where the system then reports the alarm location and trouble.

The PneuMaster Actuator was developed to compliment Baker Oil's GateMaster Hydraulic Actuator and is designed for applications where the patented Quick Disconnect or other features in their standard actuator line are not required. The PneuMaster Actuator is used to open and close a reverse-acting or direct-acting gate valve through pneumatic pressure applied to a closed cylinder. Fail-safe return occurs through a coil spring that provides a return stroke in the absence of flowline pressure. PneuMaster provides a wide range of standard accessories such as electric limit switches, clear stem protectors and heat sensitive lock-out caps. Its flexibility eliminates the need to purchase special accessories by providing interchangeability with tools the customer already owns. Circle 53 on Reader Service Card. slide damper
