WIRELESS, INSTALL ANYWHERE MINI SENSOR RANGE
RELEASED BY PRESSAC TO HELP BUILDINGS TALK
UK electronics manufacturer, Pressac
Communications Limited has released a new
range of mini, wireless, low energy sensors for
monitoring temperature, humidity, dry contact
and door or window opening and closings.
The small, unobtrusive sensors can measure
temperature and humidity, as well as dry contact
out-put, door and window status to get an instant
view of the conditions in each room or zone within
a building, transmitting data wirelessly using the
EnOcean Protocol. The data captured can feed into
an existing building management system or using
Pressac’s smart gateways, sensor data
can be made securely available in formats
such as MQTT and JSON.
Sensors in the new range include
Pressac’s Temperature Sensor, which
provides e icient monitor-ing of ambient
temperature and also available with a
combined Humidity Sensor to measure
and report both temperature and relative
humidity. The dry contact Sensor which
is designed to detect and report change

in any volt free dry contact output. Operating on
EnOcean, it o ers fast, easy and reliable push-wire
connection of two wires, reporting open/close state
of dry contact output. Finally the Door and Window
sensor is a contact sensor which senses when a
door or window is opened or closed. Once triggered
it can activate a wide variety of potential responses
to improve security and reduce energy waste.
Jamie Burbidge, Product Manager - Digital
Solutions at Pressac said: “The non-invasive, easy to
install mini-series sensor range has been designed
to complement Pressac’s existing o ering both
REACHING NEW HEIGHTS OF PROTECTION FROM HIGH-LEVEL DAMAGE
Workplace safety innovators, A-SAFE, have reengineered
their Height Restrictor to bring even
more customer benefits.
A-SAFE is committed to providing workplace
protection and safety solutions that are designed
to minimise risk, injury and damage. The A-SAFE
Height Restrictor o ers guidance and physical
protection; guarding against damage to vulnerable
corners, columns, door openings and overhead
assets such as sprinkler systems and ventilation
pipes.
“The A-SAFE Height Restrictor has proved a
popular product since launch. It can be used
as a visual aid to direct tra ic at the same time
protecting surfaces and as flagging up any specific
risks at height" reports A-SAFE's Product Manager;
adding "this latest development introduces a new
element of modularity. For our global clients this
means the product is quicker to ship and quicker to
install; reducing delivery and set-up times."
This modularity comes about thanks to two
coupling mechanisms: the iFlex coupling which is
a key component of the A-SAFE flexible polymer
barrier range, and unique to the company's energy
absorption system; and the new in-line coupling
which enables the product to be adapted to the
customers' needs in terms of vertical height.
Being easier and quicker to assemble means there
is even less disruption to day-to-day activity during
the installation process. According to A-SAFE’s
Senior Design Engineer, “We are always looking at
ways to improve the customer experience. E iciency
is a key driver and therefore anything we can do
to minimise disruption to business as usual during
installation is a key factor."
Reducing disruption and minimising downtime
is an important goal throughout the product's
lifetime. Thanks to A-SAFE's exclusive self-coloured
polymer composition, high visibility is ensured and
its inbuilt strength and durability further supports
the ultra-low maintenance solution. The unique
composition of the A-SAFE polymer gives the
Height Restrictor a unique capacity to flex, absorb
impact and dissipate impact forces whilst retaining
its integrity. This enables warehouse and factory
managers to concentrate on the job at hand, safe in
the knowledge the product is working to safeguard
the business assets e ectively year-on-year.
As the inventors of the world’s first industrial
strength polymer safety barrier, A-SAFE’s aim across
its entire range is to give each customer the tools to
create a safer, best practice working environment.
The Height Restrictor complements this, and
integrates seamlessly into the A-SAFE range of
workplace protection solutions; adding valuable
protection to busy environments.

aesthetically and functionally. The new discreet
and compact sensors are all available with optional
security in every EnOcean supported territory. Our
streamlined, lean production processes enable us to
o er per unit cost savings. These sensors form part
of a suite that we will continue to develop to match
our customers’ requirements. We are continually
extend-ing our turnkey capabilities into other smart
building solutions to make building and energy
management more economical and functional.”
All sensors o er a fast, peel and stick installation
option with optimal positioning and no wiring
constraints, so are ideal for retrofitting
into existing buildings with minimal
disruption. The back mounting plate
also allows for fixing with screws if
required. The mini series operates on
secure AES-128 EnOcean encryption
and are powered by ambient light from
the surrounding environment. They can
be supplied as solar only or solar with
battery backup for robust operation in all
lighting levels.
