    Buildings' fire controller system

    Hi. Our companies' building has a 6 year old fire detection system. It's outfitted with a PLC that has addressable heats and smokes also some call points and rate of rise heats with dip switches. These devices are all connected in parallel, on a 15 volt closed loop circuit. Can someone suggest...

    Replacing PLC batteries

    Thanks for the info Jdkasper...We are using a general purpose Mitsubishi MELSEC-A type AOJ2 controller. The search for a direct fit battery is now over. Your suggestion of taking Newark's PLC 3.6 volt with tabs and soldering on the 2 pin connector makes good sense.Thanks!

    Replacing PLC batteries

    My Mitsubishi PLC's lithium battery is nearly 5 years old. Problem #1 This 2 pin connected, ER17330v/3.6volt battery as it seens, is very elusive. I need a reliable battery cross reference or a distributor. Problem #2 What are the do's and don't's to changing these batteries? Thanks!

    Motor voltages / cycles

    Seems some euro communities are successfully utilizing USA motors using their 380-415v @50f .But what I really need to know is, is it possible, to run this euro 380-415v @50 cycle motor I possess, on a 460v @60 cycle feed . Or would it be better to configure it to it's 220v -3phase -50 f(euro)...
