<BODY> <div> Delavan Universal Level Switch Immune To Material Build-Up Delavan Electronics' Cap Point 511 R.F. Capacitance point level control is widely used in liquid, slur- ries and powder bulk solids applica- tions. A unique feature with the Cap Point 511 is its ability to ignore material build-up, reportedly elimi- nating false signals. Unlike many Capacitive or Ad- mittance type devices, the Cap Point 511 requires no calibration under normal conditions. The Cap Point 511 is available with several sensing element con- figurations to handle virtually any application. Several temperature and pressure ranges are available as well as integral and remote mounted electronics.

Hammar HandelsAB (HAMMAR) for the ACR Electronics, Inc. (ACR) RLB-23 Category I, 406 MHz EPIRB has affected the ability of the hydrostatic release to cut the ACR retain- ing rod. This cutting action enables the unit to be automat- ically released from the case when it is submerged. ACR was only recently made aware of the design changes. ACR will issue a modified rod replacement kit to anyone who purchased the model RLB-23 Category 1,406 MHz EPIRB or a hydrostatic release and/or rod kit for the RLB-23, subsequent to August 31, 1992 when the design changes were implemented. Kits will be sent to any users who have registered their units with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and to distributors who were shipped RLB-23 Category I, 406 MHz EPIRBs or hydrostatic release/rod kits after August 31, 1992. Detailed, easy-installation instructions are included with each kit. CALL ACR FOR YOUR FREE REPLACEMENT KIT. ACR Electronics, Inc.

It has already been well- received by naval architects, ship- yards and others in the shipbuiding industry including companies such as Beneteau, Ifach, San Lorenzo, and Belliure. The unit is reportedly ideal for maneuvering into tight mooring places, fighting winds and currents, and moving at low speeds. The Retract is available in three lightweight models that occupy mini- mal space under the floorboards.
