Air Compressor & Pump Switches
aci Air Compessor

MDR3 Series Pressure Switches


The MDR3 Series Combination Pressure Switch with Integral Overload Relay offers a simple, straight forward way of directly controlling the compressor or pump motor and providing overload motor protection, without the need of a separate motor starter. This Patented Pressure Switch offers an industry first - an Integral Thermal Overload which has been incorporated into the pressure switch to prevent an overloaded condition from burning out the compressor or pump motor. The unique combination of the reliable Advance Controls Pressure Switch and an integral thermal overload allows the MDR3 to replace old fashioned separate pressure switch / starter combinations. It is UL Listed (UL 508) to start and stop a single or three phase compressor / pump motor directly across the line. No other device or method of controlling a compressor pump motor offers the flexibility, cost savings, compact size and value as does the MDR3 Series Combination Pressure Switch with Integral Overload Relay.


MDR21 Series Pressure Switches


Advance Controls' MDR21 Series Switches provides for automatic operation of pumps and compressors. The switch is activated by the required tank pressure. This 2 pole switch is suitable to operate a 1 phase motor at the allowable ratings. The switch will control larger 1 phase and all 3 phase motors by using an ACI motor starter.

Inverter Bypass Saftey Switch
aci Inverter Bypass Saftey Switch

Inverter Bypass Saftey Switch


Inverters (Variable Frequency Drives or VFD.s) provide an economical means of regulating the speed and performance of motors. Inverters have gained a prominent place in today.s industrial and commercial arena. But as dependable as modern inverters are, they still malfunction and cease operation, often at the worst possible moment. For this reason, several methods of isolating the inverter have been developed. Until now these methods involved expensive and unreliable contactors, relays, and timers. Advance Controls, Inc.'s Patented IBYSS ® (Inverter Bypass Safety Switch) eliminates all of these unreliable methods of removing the power from the inverter drive.

Photoelectric Sensors
aci Photoelectric Sensors

Photoelectric Sensors


Photoelectric Proximity Sensors (Photoelectrics) can be divided into five groups: Through-Beam, Retro-Reflective, Diffuse, Convergent and Fiber-Optic. Photoelectrics are used to detect various materials at long ranges by non-contact sensing using a beam of light. Photoelectrics detect either the presence or absence of light and use this information to change the state of the output transistor. Since Photoelectrics detect light, they must be able to .see. the target in order to operate properly.
Photoelectric Sensors are solid state devices that use an output transistor to change the output state of the sensor. They are suitable to operate control components such as relays and contactors. These sensors are not suitable to directly operate high power items such as motors. As with all solid state devices, Photoelectric Sensors have a leakage current which is used to power the sensor. This leakage current must be taken into account when connecting other devices to the sensor.

Proximity Sensors
aci Proximity Sensors

Proximity Sensors


Inductive Proximity Sensors utilize an L/C resonant oscillator which generates a high frequency alternating electromagnetic field with the aid of a coil located in the open pot core. This field emerges from the active face of the switch. When an electrically conductive material (a steel plate for example) moves onto the electromagnetic field, an eddy current is induced. The eddy current extracts energy from the L/C resonant circuit in the sensor which produces a reduction in the oscillation amplitude. The amplitude reduction is converted by the associated electronic circuitry into a clear electronic signal, and changes the state of the sensor output. When the electrically conductive material is removed from the alternating field, the oscillation amplitude increases, and through the electronic circuitry, restores the switch to the original unswitched state.

Safety Switches
aci Safety Switches

Safety Switches


The Advance Controls, Inc. Key Operated Safety Switches are designed to provide a positive means of turning the control power in the equipment "Off" should an access panel, door, guard, etc. be opened during operation. Unlike a simple limit or reed type switch, the Key Operated Safety Switch requires a special design stainless steel key to operate the switch. By requiring this special key, the switch cannot be easily defeated, tied down, or bypassed by using simple hand tools. Removing the special key from the switch positively switches the safety contacts. The key can be inserted into the front or top of the switch head which can be rotated in 4 - 90 degree steps, allowing entrance from any one of 8 different positions. This allows the switch to be mounted in a variety of different configurations. These features make the Key Operated Safety Switch an acceptable recognized safety switch for worldwide applications.
