Fighting Covid 19 with Chauvin Arnoux

Fighting Covid 19 with ca 1227 Chauvin Arnoux

The Chauvin Arnoux Group in association with Nocheski puts all its know-how at the service of the prevention of the Covid 19 pandemic in Ghana

Measuring devices, metrology and low temperature sensors … the Chauvin Arnoux group offers a complementary offer to meet the health prevention challenges of today and tomorrow: Measure and analyze the quality of ambient air, identify potential carriers of ‘a Covid 19 Virus with infrared, control the temperature of vaccine storage freezers using low temperature probes.

Analyze the ambient air

The measurement of indoor air quality is essential to fight against the spread of Viruses, in particular that of COVID 19, in a building (schools, nurseries, offices, seminar rooms, workshops, public transport, hospitals, etc.) . At the heart of this prevention strategy, “measurement” and its analysis tools take on their full importance.

Fighting Covid 19 with ca 1510 Chauvin Arnoux

The CA 1510 portable air analyzer from CHAUVIN ARNOUX, very efficient in closed places, instantly records air particles according to standard thresholds and. It alerts by sound and “red screen” in the event of non-compliance with air quality criteria based on the CO2 level, temperature or humidity level or even the combination of the three physical quantities measured (CO2, temperature and relative humidity). Natural or artificial ventilation in confined spaces also plays a role in the spread of Covid 19 Viruses. In this respect, in addition, the CA 1227 thermo-anemometer has all the useful functions for measuring speed and air flow. Essential information to optimize the good ventilation of rooms.

 

Identify potential carriers of a Covid 19 Virus

In prevention, the measurement of potential indicators of disease such as fever are also provided by thermometers and thermal body cameras. The portable thermal camera CA 1900, easy to use, with immediate results and in complete safety through contactless distance, is one of the new sanitary devices to identify any person with too high a temperature and thus preventively fight against the risks of transmission of the disease.

Store vaccines

As part of the storage of the Covid 19 vaccine, the MANUMESURE company supports professionals in mapping their freezers at -80 ° C in COFRAC, intervening directly and quickly on site. PYROCONTROLE offers a range of low temperature (-80 °) temperature probes essential for players in the “Covid vaccine” sector; logistics (storage and transport), hospitals, pharmacists, doctors or even manufacturers of freezers …

Fighting Covid 19 with Chauvin ArnouxThe Chauvin Arnoux Group thus puts all its know-how, its adapted measuring devices and its metrology services at the service of pandemic prevention, to fully play its role in health situations such as the one we are experiencing today.

Cerbo GX & GX Touch 50:A turbo charged GX device

No comments yet

Cerbo GX

The new Cerbo GX, along with the optional GX Touch 50 display, were announced and demonstrated at METS, November 2019. GX products are Victron Energy state-of-the-art monitoring solution. The family consists of the different GX products, and their accessories.

The GX-device lies at the heart of the system – providing monitoring, and operating as the communication-centre of your installation. All the other system-components – such as inverter/chargers, solar chargers, and batteries – are connected to it. Monitoring can be carried out locally and remotely – via our free-to-use Victron Remote Management portal (VRM). The GX-device also provides Remote firmware updates and allows inverter/charger settings to be changed remotely.

Personally I’m a great fan of GX devices, the Color Control GX, Venus GX and more – all being a part of the Victron GX product range.

Detailed introductory blogpost by Panbo

However, my 6 years personal experience is with the Color Control GX model – so I’d be doing you the reader a disservice by reviewing the Cerbo GX. Also, as I blog for Victron, I admit to a natural and faithful bias. It seems only right and proper then to let an independent reviewer give you their take on this exciting new product. What I can say though – is that going by the review on Panbo, the product will be in great demand.

For a detailed introduction, I recommend reading the Panbo blog post by Ben Ellison:

Victron Cerbo GX, good AC/DC power monitoring gets better.

Introductory video

GX Touch 50 display

The GX Touch 50 is the optional display for the Cerbo GX. Its water proof, thin, and easy to mount. There is a cable coming out on the back with two plugs on it: the HDMI goes into the HDMI port on the Cerbo, and the USB (used to power the display) goes into one of the USB sockets. For all details, including dimensions and the manual, see the GX Touch 50 product page.

Optional DIN rail adapter

The optional DIN rail adapters are to easily mount the Cerbo GX on a DIN-Rail. Dimensions and details are available on its page on our website.

Conclusion

When you consider just how far GX devices have come in the last 6 years (just take a look back to 2014), then the Cerbo GX is to my mind the ultimate GX turbo charged device for connectivity.

New product range: VE.Can SmartSolar MPPT

No comments yet

Interfacing for up to 25 charge controllers

Adding to Victron’s comprehensive range of Solar Charge Controllers, we can now announce new models with VE.Can connectivity. These currently include the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 & 150/100 VE.Can with auto-select voltage for systems of 12, 24, 36 and 48 Volts.These new models are replacements for the BlueSolar MPPT 150/70 & 150/85 CAN-bus generation.The new VE.Can 150/70 and 150/100 models are now in stock and available for delivery. Further models will follow and are detailed later in this blog. Dealers can check availability and stock levels via E-Order.

Why VE.Can?

With the VE.Can interface up to 25 Charge Controllers can be daisy-chained and connected to a Color Control GX or other GX device. Each controller can be monitored individually, for example on a Color Control GX and on the VRM website.

VE.Direct and Bluetooth data communication are also features of these controllers.

To learn more about data communication such as VE.Can – see the PDF ‘Data communication with Victron Energy products’, in our Whitepapers section of the main website.

Comparison of VE.Can SmartSolar MPPT to the previous BlueSolar MPPT CAN-bus generation

  • Improved: each charger is displayed individually on a GX Device and on the VRM Portal; whereas with the previous models all units were operating synchronously and were seen as one; which made it impossible to see individual PV string performance.
  • Improved: supports ESS and control by Intelligent (canbus) batteries, just like today’s VE.Direct models; which was not possible with the previous generation. Note that this will require Venus OS v2.40, which is not yet released yet but is expected in October.
  • Synchronisation: the mechanism to operate synchronously is the same as before: equal device instances enables synchronised charging. Since they are all configured with Device instance 0 out of the box; they’ll automatically start synchronising as soon as you connect them together with the network cable.

Note: These new models cannot synchronise with the previous generation. They can of course still be used together in the same system; but will then operate autonomously.

Future developments & firmware

In addition to these new 150V, 70 & 100A models, there will also be a 150V, 85A plus 250V, 70A & 100A models. They are expected by the end of this year.

Furthermore some special and not commonly used features have not yet been released, but will come later as a firmware update. These are the virtual load output, street light, alternate TX/RX pin functions and the PAYG features.

Key product features & similarities

Key features are listed below, yet these new VE.Can SmartSolar MPPT is also very similar to the existing range of SmartSolar Chargers with a VE.Direct port; in that the hardware design is based on that reliable and proven range, they can be configured with the VictronConnect app and they support all the exact same charger settings and options.

  • Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
  • Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading condition
  • Outstanding conversion efficiency
  • Flexible charge algorithm
  • Extensive electronic protection
  • Bluetooth Smart built-in
  • Internal temperature sensor and optional Smart Battery Sense
  • VE.Can: the multiple controller solution
  • VE.Direct or VE.Can
  • Remote on-off
  • Programmable relay
  • Optional: SmartSolar pluggable LCD display
