Let us know what URS Electronics can do for you in 2022!

In case you did not have a chance to catch last week's email, here is the gist for your mind movies with some updated text.

It is 2022, and we ask - What can URS Electronics do for you?

We are asking our customer base if there are any products, services, and changes that you would like to see.
Here are some conversation starters:
Do our current hours (8AM - 4PM, M-F) work with your schedule or are we missing you?
Are we missing that one product or product line that you always need in a pinch?
What could we do to help make placing orders more convenient for you?

If you have feedback, please kindly send a note to sales@ursele.com email. This is not a catch all email that then goes through a labyrinthian process only to give you the discourtesy of an auto attendant. No! This email goes straight to a living breathing human being ready to respond to your inquiry.

In the meantime we would encourage our readers and dedicated fans to get reacquainted with our list of vendors and manufacturers (more info)

OEMs, contractors, government agencies, redistributors, students, veterans, circuit benders, junior engineers, armchair engineers, engineer engineers, people with moustaches, people without moustaches, hang gliding enthusiasts, cosplayers, llama owners, well-behaved llamas themselves...EVERYONE is welcome in our store front.

Come in and check us out. See why people call us Radio Shack 2: The Return of Radio Shack - although I am bias and think we are a wee bit different.

Again we want to implore you to let us know what URS Electronics can do for you in 2022!

*this message brought to you by URS Electronics, a subsidiary of URS Electronics Enterprises in association with URS Electronics Pictures LTD LLC INC. No animals were harmed in the production of this email. Good dogs are welcome in our store.

Two must-have Crouzet products for your automation toolbox

As mentioned a few months prior, URS is now a vendor of Crouzet products. While some of our readers are familiar with Crouzet, we want to circle back around to highlight a couple of products we think are particularly useful.

Crouzet's SYR-Line Universal Digital Timer lives up to its moniker with a wide time range (0.1s to 100-day delay), universal voltage input (12 to 240 VUC), and universal mounting connection. Furthermore, it includes ALL the classic TDR functions with such hits like: OFF-Delay, ON-Delay, and REPEAT-cycle. For anyone in the world of industrial automation, the SYR-Line Universal DT is a must have. 

In addition to the timer, we highly recommend checking out Crouzet's phenomenal Millenium 3 series of logic controllers. To say that it "slices, dices, and purees" would be a gross understatement (despite the humorous pop-culture hyperbole), as the M3 combines monitoring, timing, counting, temperature control, level control, and countless other functions in one easy-to-use logic controller. Besides the astounding array of functions, the other aspect we like about the Millenium 3 is that it sheds the myth that powerful and complex logic controllers must be a pain to program and use. Even better, one can download the M3 software for FREE via the Crouzet website, and start working out logic control functions on a theoretical basis before applying them in the real world.

Crouzet is an independent company manufacturing electromechanic and electronic components providing: Switches and Sensors, Electromechanical Actuators, Electrical Protection Equipments, and Automation Controllers and Relays. For more information on Crouzet logic controllers, time delay relays, and other products, please reach out to your URS representative. No rep, no problem - call us at (503) 233-5341 or email inquires to sales@ursele.com.
 

Autonics Proximity Sensors, Temp Controllers and Modular Switches

At any given time, we stock a broad range of Autonics proximity and temperature sensors as well as a robust number of temperature controls, timing relays, and modular switches.

For proximity sensors, we have several flavors of the CR Series – Cylindrical Capacitive Proximity Sensors – which can detect any material with a dielectric different than air. They can detect a wide range of materials from conductive to non-conductive types AND are easily configurable to boot!

In addition to the CR series, we have robust offerings in the PR Series and PRCM Series of proximity sensors. Both series are available in various sizes and sensing distances and are designed to work in a diverse range of applications calling for non-contact detection of metallic objects. One thing we noted is that you will not have to worry about EMI interference as both series feature noise immunity with a specialized sensor IC.

Switching gears, we offer a wide variety of Autonics Temperature Controllers ranging from the high performance TK Series featuring high precision temperature control with simultaneous heating and cooling options, to the economical dual display TCN and TC series as well as the highly-touted dual-speed TZN series which feature dual-speed PID control for high-speed or high-precision temperature control.

Lastly, to fill that IDEC sized whole in your heart, we carry Autonics modular switches and pilot light products. We are high on these products for a number of reasons including their reputation for long-lasting durability, smooth operation (queue the song "Smooth Operator", high electrical conductivity, modular design, stackable contacts and the wide variety of colors and actuator forms to choose from.

For more information on Autonics product options, please conntact your inside sales representative or give us a call at 503-233-5341.

Single Pair Ethernet a game changer for OEMs

If you are in the industry, at some point in time you have probably heard of the coming of single-pair ethernet. You may have thought, well it has been hear for a while. It could be that the reticence to move away from legacy infrastructure keeps single-pair ethernet in a bleeding-edge limbo of sorts. The fact is, single pair ethernet is here, it is getting better and it can go a long way to meeting the demands your infrastructure requires. 

A brief history of single-pair ethernet

Around 2015 the auto industry begin to rely more heavily on SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) due to it's cost, space, and weight saving properties while being able to transmit data at a fast rate. SPE controls all of the snazzy modern computerized functions that cars now come loaded with without weighing down your conveyance with miles of heavy cabling. 
 

Why SPE for industrial applications?

SPE allows for consistent data transmission at a field level while only using one-pair versus two, four of more pairs. 

The advantages:

• Thinner cables, lower weight, and less space requirements

• Lower cost

• Smaller bending radii and drag chains

• Less bulk material like copper and plastics

For more information on SPE contact your inside sales representative or give us a call at 503-233-5341

URS Electronics offers a wide variety of SPE options form Weidmuller, Belden, Panduit and more.

The FLIR One Pro

Staff Editorial - The FLIR One Pro epitomizes what science historian James Burke termed the “warm blanket of technology”. Let’s face it, technology makes some things undeniably easier. Yes, there are drawbacks and unintended consequences to some tech, but who could argue with the necessary usefulness say of a CT Scanner in the hands of a medical imaging professional, or a Satellite Telephone for a search and rescue team. The FLIR One in the hands of an HVAC tech or a general contractor, could be deemed necessarily useful. 

The FLIR One Pro connects to an iPhone via the lighting port.

A field tech or a contractor, in many ways, is like a magician; working with things often unseen to please the audience, in this case, the customer is the audience. The FLIR ONE Pro is geared toward finding invisible problems – hot electrical panels, mechanical problems, HVAC issues, water damage, etc. - and this is important - before they become large-scale, highly-visible problems.

Here's the lowdown on how this technological dynamo becomes a tech's magic wand - it comes loaded with state of the art innovations. The FLIR One Pro boasts enhanced resolution through VividIRᵀᴹ which improves thermal sensitivity and image quality, while FLIR MSX® technology adds finer details and perspective to images. And, it has the FLIR OneFitᵀᴹ connector, which extends up to 4 mm to attach the device to your smartphone through many popular phone cases. Pretty cool if you ask us!

Hmmm reminds me of a certain blockbuster movie from the ‘80s.

So why the "Predator" reference in the headline graphic? We admit, it is a bit odd, but we cannot help but see thermal images and set our mental way-back machine to 1987, the year that produced arguably the finest cinematic experience of all time - John McTiernan's "Predator". The movie is as infinitely quotable/watchable as the FLIR One Pro is useful. And who knows, maybe the Predator was using FLIR imaging tech the whole time.

For all you contractors, HVAC techs, field workers out there, the FLIR One Pro allows you to channel your inner "Predator" by hunting for problems before they prey on your project.  Or if the magician analogy is more fitting, with a wave of the FLIR One Pro, you can see that which is invisible to the naked eye, and solve an issue before things escalate. 

Easy to use and portable, the FLIR One Pro is ready to be your magic wand in diagnosing problems invisible to the naked eye.

Call on of our highly knowledgeable sales reps at 503.233.5341 or hits us up at sales@ursele.com for more info on this cool and highly useful gadget.

Take care out there!
