A New Design For A Classic Tool
UEi announces the release of the ATTPC Pipe Clamp Adapter and Surface Probe which works with any meter using K-type thermocouple inputs. This unique design has a spring-loaded sensor to maintain constant contact with the measuring surface and is thermally isolated from ambient temperatures to preserve accuracy. A Velcro strap wraps around the pipe, reattaching to the probe housing, quickly securing it for reliable thermal contact. The compact size and securing method make for easy and quick measurements in crowded environments or where tubing is against appliance panels. For more information visit the ATTPC product page.

UEi Wins Design Award
UEi was recognized for excellence in product design in the third annual Dealer Design Awards Program sponsored by The Air Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration News magazine.  An independent panel of 51 contractors acted as judges awarding UEi’s  EAGLE Combustion Analyzer™ the bronze award winner in the Testing & Monitoring category.  The EAGLE’s simplistic interface design, unique functions, and user friendly documentation helps contractors set up, maintain, and trouble shoot furnaces and boilers.

“This is a great tool for setting up equipment to its best efficiency,” noted one contractor judge.  “The Eagle Analyzers is user friendly and is a great product for anyone who services fuel-fired equipment.”

UEi President Michael Kane comments, “We're honored to receive this award. It recognizes UEi's determination to pursue a customer driven product strategy. It is a tribute to the professional experience of the UEi team.”

The award was received during UEi’s celebration of their 40th anniversary. At a time when UEi has set its sights on the future and refocusing its core product lines, “The world changes, and UEi changes with it,” says Kane. “We’ve really tried to design products to match this different world.”

Kane is proud of his company’s evolving product portfolio. Not one to linger on past accomplishments, he observes how the product line has transitioned over the past decade. “It doesn’t bear any resemblance to 10 years ago except for the fact they are all test and measurement products,” he says. “The product line is broader. The features and the products are far more sophisticated, and the quality is much stronger. The goal is to create products that will have a real payoff for the contractors.

PHOENIX DL279KIT
UEi announces the release of the long awaited Phoenix Clamp Meter Series combo pack, which combines the DL279 Phoenix II Clamp-on Meter and the CH2 Hook Extended Clamp Head. The popular DL279 features an amazing long list of features and functions unmatched in today’s market like AC/DC volts and amps, micro-amps, resistance, capacitance, frequency, duty cycle, temperature, non-contact voltage, a dual display, a worklight, magnetic mount, test lead holder, test lead storage, wire sorting tip, backlit display and a three-year limited warranty.

The DL279 also has a detachable clamp head allowing the “CH2 - The Hook” to snap onto the Phoenix meter body, which means no more using fingers to sort or pull wires for clamp reading. The Hook extends the DL279’s measurement capabilities to work areas too difficult to reach with standard clamp heads, or undesirable due to the hazards associated with live contact points. The Hook’s patent pending technology increases accuracy by providing a virtual closed core inside the tip. The Hook works exclusively on the Phoenix Clamp Meter Series measures and 100 amps AC, features a worklight and is back by a three year limited warranty.
