Looking Forward in 2010
Dear customer.
First of all please accept our thanks for your support during 2009 and best wishes for 2010.
Traditionally this is the time of year when suppliers review their sales prices and set new pricing levels for the New Year. This year we have taken the decision to maintain our prices at existing levels for as long as possible during 2010. We do not anticipate, at this time, any increases until 30th June 2010 at the earliest. We hope this will help our customers and ourselves remain competitive.
We have also prepared a new Energy Catalogue which will be available February.
This catalogue contains many new products such as MID certified energy meters and 3-phase block current transformers.
If you would like to receive a copy of this catalogue click on the ‘More Information’ link below.
NEW - Multifunction meters for less than *£50.00!
Based on our highly successful Nemo 72-L and Nemo D4-L ranges the Conto 72-Sh and Conto D4-Sh meters provide the following measurable parameters.
Total Active Energy
Partial Active Energy
Total Reactive Energy
Partial Reactive Energy
Power Demand
Power Max Demand
Phase Current
Phase Voltage
Linked Voltage
Three Phase Active Power
Three Phase Reactive Power
Three Phase Apparent Power
Phase Active Power
Phase Reactive Power

Power Factor
Available with either a pulsed output or an RS485 Modbus RTU output.
Both multifunction energy meters can be configured to use either 5 Amp or 1 Amp current transformers. The meters can be set up to be used on single phase or three phase circuits, as the units are self supplied - no auxiliary supply is required.
Our meters are manufactured by IME in Milan who are one of the largest suppliers of energy meters in Europe. We also offer an extensive range of DIN rail mounted and panel mounted (72/96mm) instruments. Not to mention our wide range of current transformers.

Building Automation at Interbuild Birmingham NEC
Rayleigh Instruments Building Automation are showing off their intelligent building control system called INELS at Birmingham NEC from the 18th to 21st of October.
The INELS system is designed for both small and large installations. It is already in widespread use throughout mainland Europe, with many installations ranging from homes to shopping centers. INELS is a modern and intelligent electrical installation which provides effective management of lighting, shutters, Venetian blinds, heating or cooling of individual rooms, security, electrical appliances and even control of television and sound systems. INELS may be operated locally, centrally or remotely. Methods include touch screen panel, universal remote (IR) control, voice activation, computer, mobile phone or internet.
INELS allows complete control of the building from anywhere in the world...
Benefits to the home owner include the provision of an automated and more comfortable living environment, enhanced security, and peace of mind when away from the property, energy savings, prestige and added value to the home. The system can also be expanded in the future without undue expense.
Benefits to the installer include ease of connection via a 2 wire bus system. Work can start without knowing the exact layout and function of each device, as units can be added to the bus at any time. All functions are programmed by computer using simple software. Time is saved as control cables are not required therefore also preventing possible mistakes during installation like missing wires etc.
Remote diagnostics can be run by the electrician or where necessary by Rayleigh Instruments.
Inels is energy efficient, modern and easy to install. Three good reasons to visit us for a demonstration on Stand D107 (Hall 5) Interbuild NEC.

INELS is a winner at CEDIA EXPO 09
Rayleigh Instruments (Building Automation) are delighted with the launch of the INELS intelligent building control system at CEDIA Expo 09.
The interest at the show exceeded expectations. The custom installation market appears to be buoyant and the feedback from the exhibition confirmed the need for a simple building control solution.
Each day an iPod or MP3 player has been won by one lucky visitor, the winners are; Akik Miah from Face to Face Digital, Maciej Bilkiewicz from MGM Builders and Gemma Brown from J S Crawrford Builders who won the MP3 player.
Rayleigh Instruments have been established nearly 50 years as component manufacturers and distributors. The INELS system is designed for both small and large installations, the CU2-01M being the brains and heart of the system sitting on a two wire 'bus' and programmable through the IDM software which is available free upon request. Rayliegh have taken the opportunity to expand into the automation market as a natural path for company expansion. The CU2-01M performs the mediation between the user programmable software environment and the sensors and actuators connected to the bus.
INELS is a modern and intelligent electrical installation which provides effective management of lighting, gates, shutters, blinds, curtains, HVAC control of individual rooms, security, electrical appliances and AV systems. INELS may be operated locally, centrally or remotely. Methods include touch screen panel, universal remote (IR) control, voice activation, computer, mobile phone or internet.
Remote diagnostics can be run by the electrician as required and remote updates are possible. INELS is energy efficient, modern and easy to install, three good reasons to contact Graham Lockhart on 01268 749359 or by email g.lockhart@rayleigh.co.uk.

New Building Automation Web Site
The launch of our Rayleigh Instruments Building Automation web site at www.buildingautomation.uk.com signals the launch of Rayleigh Instruments into the field of intelligent or 'Smart' Building control systems. This is both a logical and exciting progression for Rayleigh Instruments who have been at the forefront of supplying electrical measuring, monitoring and control products for many years.
'Future Proof’ Multifunction Energy Meter.
You can install one meter knowing you will not have to replace it if your needs change, for example, you now need RS485 communication – no problem you can purchase a separate module to plug into the back. The modules are inexpensive and easy to install. The following modules are available:
RS485 modbus
RS232 modbus
Dual pulse
Dual analogue output
Dual alarm output
Neutral current
Profitbus communication
Single pulse
LonWorks and there are also more in development.
The new Nemo 96HD is aesthetically pleasing and has a very clear high constant display which is easy to read at any angle. As well as the standard parameters this multifunction energy meter allows you to measure neutral current, total harmonic distortion, phase sequence and partial/total energy.
Our meters are manufactured by IME in Milan and are one of the largest suppliers of energy meters in Europe. We offer an extensive range of Din Rail Mounted and panel mounted Din 72/96mm instruments.

The First Category 4 Stand Alone Safety Switch
COMITRONIC, a French manufacturer and world-wide distributor of BTI branded safety equipment have recently revolutionised machine safety by launching the Vigil range of safety switches.
These stand alone, non-contact safety switches, equipped with an integrated self-control system are the first in the world to reach the safety category 4 according to the EN 954-1 without connection to a separate safety relay!!!
The switch is designed with two independent, interactive coded electronic systems. If one is defective, the system will shut down in a fail-safe mode. The internal failure detection is based on self-monitoring closure of one of the contacts of the safety line.
The switches consist of two parts a receiver and a transmitter mounted on a door of a machine. As soon as the door opens, or if the system fails, it is detected and the machine stops until the door closes or until the system failure is rectified. LED indication is also available.
The VIGIL uses unique, totally electronic technology ACOTOM 3 ®, based on a multi-decoding system, which, unlike competing reed contact based systems, is completely tamper-proof.
The VIGIL switches are housed in an easy to mount polycarbonate case and equipped with 3, 6 or 12 m long cable. It is possible to connect up to 30 Vigil switches in series. There are 2 versions: VIGIL SXR or VIGIL SXRS. VIGIL SXR reaches safety category 3, VIGIL SXRS reaches safety category 4 without a safety relay. The monitored manual reset is integrated in the VIGIL SXRS version.
For information on this product or other coded safety magnetic switches within our extensive range, please contact our Safety Department on 01268 749302 or email us at safety@rayleigh.co.uk
