AIR-SPADE
Utility Air-Spade 4000
Air-Spade, a division of Guardair Corporation, announces the availability of the Utility Air-Spade 4000 SERIES excavation tools. These tools are safe, non-damaging alternatives to traditional digging methods that often puncture sensitive underground cables and pipes during soil-excavation applications. The Utility Air-Spade 4000 is designed for safe excavation around buried utilities. Electrically insulating materials as well as non-sparking materials make excavating around high voltage power lines and gas lines safe. The Utility Air-Spade comes in two sizes—the 105 cfm with 4-foot barrel and the 150 cfm with 4-foot barrel. They feature patented supersonic nozzles that utilize compressed-air to produce high-speed laser-like jets that move at twice the speed of sound for faster, more effective digging in the toughest soils. For use in utility locating and repair, keyholing, potholing, valve box cleaning, and cable trenching. For more information, visit www.airspade.com or call 800.GUARDAIR (800.482.7324).

OVEN INDUSTRIES
Model 5R7-350/347 Temperature Controller
Oven Industries’ Model 5R7-350/347 is an economical thermal controller especially designed to operate with thermoelectric (Peltier effect) modules. Most of these modules may be operated in either a cooling mode or a heating mode depending on current direction. The 5R7-350/347 thermal controller may be field configured for either of these operating modes. These thermal temperature controllers were designed with a proportional/integral control algorithm to provide the best control at the most economical cost. Either a fixed or adjustable proportional bandwidth and integral rate permits optimizing individual thermal systems. Additional external heat sinking will permit operating load currents in excess of 10 amperes. For more information, visit www.ovenindustries.com/product/5r7-350-pid-temperature-controller/.
