June's Meeting Sponsor

HESP extends its thanks and appreciation to the vendors. The synopsis that were submitted follow: .

Alps Controls, Inc. - Alps Controls, Inc., a progressive wholesale controls distributor, offers you ONE SOURCE for access to over 200,000 products and virtually all leading manufacturers of control devices/products. It is your complete resource for the best pricing, the widest choice of products, and the most outstanding customer service in the HVAC/building controls business. Please check us out at www.alpscontrols.com. Call Wendy Siefert at 412.464.1730. Alps extends its appreciation for your current business.

Automated Enhance Systems Co., Inc. - automatic Door Safety: With the ongoing concerns pertaining to litigation, automatic door safety needs to be elevated on the list of priorities for all facilities departments.

Recent A.N.S.I. standard changes are requiring more defined detection patterns for safety sensors to insure safety. Besam has even developed a concealed sensor application which "talks" to the door controller to insure a safer application.

An easy way to insure door safety is to follow the daily safety check lists which are attached to the door jams of every automatic door. These lists help you to determine the activate and safety patterns of the door to insure a safer application and require a minimal amount of time to implement. - Automated Entrance Systems, Co., Inc., Ken Nowak, Sales Representative.

Delval Equipment Corp. - Delval Equipment Corp., represented by Bob Schell, Bob Weber, and Con Gerber, presented a brief outline on Delval's 50+ years, service capabilities, and pressure vessel repair service.

A cleaver-Brooks HAWK ICS Programmable Logic Controller Demo unit was on display with touch screen 10" color monitor, and everyone was shown how to make all boiler control adjustments from this monitor.

Several people got to use the switches and controllers to put the HAWK ICS through its paces. For further information, call Bob, Bob, or Don at 724-743-0410.
