CALEDONIAN INTRODUCE THE EMS20 COMBI INTERLOCK WITH DUAL CURRENT SENSORS.

This customer led development has been created in response to feeback from our interlock market. The EMS20 Combi control provides a ventilation to gas interlock control for two fans together with Caledonian's unique fail-safe current sensor, known separately as the ECS10/e. The EMS20 is based on Caledonian's EMX interlock technology, which has been certified by Advantica to comply with BS6173, the standard which covers the use of gas burning appliances in commercial kitchen environments. The twin integral current sensors are unlike other similar sensors in that they can easily detect ventilation defects caused by broken belts, reversed motors, progressive filter blockage and the like. Additionally the sensors are tested at every start up using the 'Safe Start Check' method, an internationally accepted fail safe procedure.

Managing Director, Bernard Patrick comments:

"Whilst we prefer only to make bespoke controls for our larger OEM customers, we were persuaded by 'customer clamour' to add the EMS20 Combi to our interlock range. We fully accept that installers of BS6173 compliant solutions quite often prefer to use indirect current sensing methods for testing fan performance. Checking that the fan is drawing a current, as used in simple current sensors, is insufficient evidence of airflow. This is why we have developed our unique current sensor which can easily detect ventilation defects. Unlike other systems on the market, the EMS20 control has fully shielded electrics, so final adjustment whilst the system is in operation is completely safe and moreover, legal. We also believe that independent NAMAS certification, combined with the unique and fail safe current sensing, offers an invaluable aid to specifiers and purchasers of this type of equipment, who need to demonstrate that they are using safety control equipment which complies with their legal obligations."
