www.thesafetymag.com/ca 9 E2S INTRODUCING NEXT GENERATION OF ITS M RANGE E2S, a provider of audible and visual notification devices, has introduced the next generation of its M range industrial alarm horn sounders. The new MA1F and the MA2F employ the enclosure and mounting, as did previous MA112 and MA121 versions, but now feature enhanced electronics containing the new D Class amplifier technology, with lower in-rush current, wider voltage range, lower current consumption and improved alarm tone choice and control. The MA1F uses a standard directional flare horn; the MA1R features the E2S '1R' omni-directional horn that is particularly suitable for applications requiring a compact device. For higher sound output requirements, the new MA2H alarm horn sounder utilizes the new E2S '2H' super high output flare horn, which is engineered to maximize audible signaling performance across the widest range of frequencies at a sound level of up to 130dB(A). The alarm horn sounder DC voltage range is now extended from 10 to 60VDC, and the AC versions have a universal power supply, accepting inputs from 100 to 240VAC. Higher voltage DC versions are available on request. The MA1 versions are factory set to a low current consumption of only 224mA at 24VDC with a sound output of 117dB(A). The MA2 versions feature two user selectable power modes that provide the optimum combinations of current consumption and sound output: 391mA and 126dB(A) to 888mA and 130dB(A). A total of four remotely selectable alarm stages/channels are standard and can be activated by a variety of methods. A new set of 64 alarm tone frequencies can be independently set as either first or second stage. Pluggable, duplicated cable terminals simplify installation. Combined audible/visual units also benefit from the MC1X05 with Xenon strobe beacon and MC1LD2 with high output LED. All units feature robust, thermoplastic fire-retardant enclosures with 316 (A4) stainless steel mounting brackets — for applications in harsh environments where Type 4/4X/13/3R IP66/67 protection is required. Cementex T-Handle tools now available Safety tools provider Cementex has announced the availability of its T-Handle driver tools, including hex Head wrenches, six-point socket wrenches and drives. All of the T-Handle tools incorporate the Cementex two-layer insulation system and solid core handle to distribute pressure evenly through the gloved hand. The T-Handle hex wrenches are available in multiple shaft lengths and a range of combinations in order to meet each application's unique insulated hand tool needs. The wrenches can be purchased individually or in kits, and can be added to custom Cementex insulated hand tool kits. Additionally, the T-Handle six-point socket wrenches and drives are available in a range of sizes and lengths to meet users' needs. Innovative Kenzen data dashboard improved alarm choice Kenzen has launched a data and analytics dashboard, the latest component of its smart PPE- connected worker solution. The dashboard captures workers' core body temperature (the greatest predictor of heat stress and illness), productivity and microclimates caused by clothing under hot and humid working conditions. The analysis consists of tens of thousands of data points collected per worker per day from the Kenzen wearable which tracks physiological factors, including core temperature and heart rate. The Kenzen system enables companies to identify and address challenges and opportunities related to work in hot and humid conditions. The information allows them to manage risk and improve processes to keep workers safer and more productive. will.i.am debuts XUPERMASK in partnership with Honeywell A partnership between musical artist will.i.am and Honeywell, the new XUPERMASK joint venture offers an innovative smart mask for the mid- and post-pandemic world via wearable technology, created to fit ergonomically and enhanced with multiple functions for the modern lifestyle. XUPERMASK is constructed out of innovative materials, including silicone face seal, and secured by an elastic strap for comfort. It features dual 3-speed fans and HEPA filters for enhanced breathability. Alongside its integrated features, XUPERMASK features active noise cancelling audio and microphone capabilities, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, LED day glow lights, a magnetic earbud docking system and more. "We created XUPERMASK to change the game of our new normal. In this new age of style and security, XUPERMASK is an uncompromising face mask design with high-tech performance for the modern lifestyle. Alongside Honeywell, we've engineered a state-of- the-art Smart Mask to provide function with style," said will.i.am. "XUPERMASK offers wearers cutting-edge design and functionality. Its blend of fashion, technology and function is unparalleled," said Darius Adamczyk, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell. Created in two colorways (white/gray/orange and black/black/orange), XUPERMASK arrives in two ergonomic sizes each, including a XUPERKIT containing a carrying case, three months' supply of HEPA filters, multi-size ear tips, USB-C charging cable and a fabric mask. lower current consumption wider voltage range
