New Brochure On Hoists And Winches Available From Joy Manufacturing A new 16-page brochure describing its complete line of air hoists and utility winches is now available from the Joy Manufacturing Company. Air hoists and utility winches are widely used in industry and mining. They have no spark or shock hazards and work in extreme temperatures. Typical uses are oil drill- ing platforms, refineries, construction sites, mines, and various marine applications. The brochure includes a Hoists Selector Chart as well as a full page devoted to each model or model family. The page covers hoist dimensions, foundation dimensions, general specifications, and performance curves for the hoist at "full drum," "y2 drum," and "first turn on drum."

(N62665-79-C-0004) New Ultrasonic Liquid Level Control System Introduced By Inventron Inventron Industries Inc. of Klamath Falls, Ore., has introduced a microprocessor-based level control system dedicated to pump con- trol. The new system, named the LS-99, uses ultrasonic transducers to detect product level in tanks and other vessels. Among the key features of the LS-99 is an array of front panel controls that permit the user to perform all start-up and calibra- tion routines without opening the controller cabinet. The standard configuration of the LS-99 is designed to handle single and du- plex pump stations, but as many as eight pumps can be controlled. The controller for the LS-99 can be purchased without an ul- trasonic control card, and thus can be used to control the 4-20 mA signal of essentially any type of level-control device. Lead and lag pump capability is included, and four thumbwheel switches on the front panel permit easy and fast changes in set- tings. Optional high and low alarms can be included if desired. Analog voltage outputs are included, and optional current outputs are available with the system.

The receiver was de- signed to conform to SOLAS regulations and the requirement that all vessels over 300 gross tons will be equipped with a watch receiver by March 31, 1981. According to the company the unit has been successfully proven on hundreds of oceangoing vessels, having already met all of the required Eu- ropean standards. FCC approval is pending. The DEBEG 2340 RT watch receiver auto alarm provides permanent watch-keeping on the international distress frequency, 2,182 kHz. Three operational modes are push button selectable. When in mute mode, the receiver is in operation but AF signals are inaudible. In the 2-tone filter mode, only the 1,300 Hz and/or 2,200 Hz are audible. In the normal mode, all AF signals are audible. In the mute mode, the receiver will auto- matically switch over to normal on recep- tion of the international radiotelephone alarm signal, the navigational warning sig- nal, or the EPIRB signal. The automatic switchover from mute or 2-tone filter modes with external signaling is achieved by spe- cial logic selector circuits. An optional clock is available to switch from mute mode to normal during the silence periods.
