WITH SIMPLICITY AND CONVENIENCE
NEWBURYPORT, Mass., June 7, 2007 - Ferraz Shawmut, a global leader in the field of circuit protection, announces the DIRIS - a digital multi-measurement device that's part of the Socomec product line. Designed for the niche market of switchboard builders the DIRIS measures and monitors the electrical values primarily on switchboards, while providing energy metering and management (electricity, water and gas). It also remotely controls and commands equipment with the correct add-on modules installed.
The DIRIS offers quick data access with convenient pushbuttons, allowing users to reach any measurement without pressing any button more than four times. A backlit LCD display guarantees clear visibility, and an ASIC chip ensures superior accuracy levels. In addition, add-on modules plug into the back of the DIRIS to provide expanded capabilities like pulse output, communications and harmonic analyses. This allows users to only purchase the capabilities they need.
"This device has become a proven leader outside of the North American marketplace, because it offers easier operation, better visualization and the option for users to add only the feature modules they want - without exhausting their budgets," said Mike Quinlan, business development manager - switch products.
The compact 96 sq. mm meter makes the DIRIS easy to install, with quick-mounting retaining clips and easy-to-wire terminal blocks. The device comes in A20 and A40 versions. It's UL listed and CSA certified.
