SPECTOR family
Because one system can no longer satisfy all requirements Safety in operation, availability and cost efficiency are decisive factors for energy supply centres. Production downtimes must be avoided! And an energy supply centre is only as reliable as its weakest component. Therefore, in modern production systems, working without automation and visualisation would now be unthinkable.

Technical requirements, too, are becoming ever more stringent over time, so that these days one system is no longer able to satisfy them all. That is why we are continually expanding our SPECTOR family.

 

SPECTORcompact
Enables simple exchange between existing mechanical systems. Measured values are transmitted as standard signals or can be incorporated in existing controls by means of volt-free relay contacts, with no need for additional electronic control units. Complete controlled systems are also possible.

Features and Benefits of SPECTORcompact
● Patented temperature barrier in cylindrical body above electrode flange
● Terminal box equipped with excess temperature fuse (102 °C)
● Level electrode and controller in one unit
● Optimum system adaptation thanks to modular design
● No mounting of component parts in control cabinet (no wiring and easy planning)
● No special cable required for wiring sensing unit to control cabinet

SPECTORbus
Can easily be integrated in automation systems through remote data transmission and parameterization. Plant planning and engineering is considerably simplified, and a great variety of data relevant to the plant can be rapidly transmitted.

Features and Benefits of SPECTORbus
● Reduced cost of control cabinet (only one PG thread, five input terminals and one cable in control cabinet for all sensing units)
● Reduced installation effort and material costs, since only a single four-core cable is required between boiler and control cabinet
● Optimum system adaptation/extension without any additional wiring
● Easy installation and maintenance
● No risk of overheating
● Increased safety

Features and Benefits of SPECTORmodul
● Compact design
● Easily accessible connection terminals
● Supply voltage 24 VDC, i. e. independent of national supply voltages
● Supply via reliable networks possible without additional components (inverters)
● Intuitive operating using rotary pushbutton
● Indication by 7-segment digital display

Features and Benefits of SPECTORmodul-Touch
● Separation of power components and operating level, i. e. no elaborate wiring needed in the control
● Use of a colour touch display for intuitive, clear operating that is language-neutral
