Innovative April Informer

This year daylight savings is due to end on Sunday 4th April when clocks go back one hour. i.e. 03.00am becomes 02.00am.


Some Eastern Australian States will also  end daylight savings on Sunday the 4th April.
 

So if you're heading away for the Easter break......be safe, if you're camping, let's hope the weather holds out and we don't have to pull  our tents down in the rain.   Please remember, if you're in accommodation over the long weekend and you need to be out by 10am on Sunday morning it would actually be 11am. ;-)

Summer is approaching

  .....

Summer is just around the corner for the Southern Hemisphere and with it comes daylight savings which occurs this year in New Zealand on the 27th of September.  
 
To all our NZ customers... don't forget to put your clock forward an hour and to all our overseas contacts please try to allow for the hour change in time difference. (although after hours support is still available.)

Included in this newsletter is a new Customer Feedback facility included within our famous Brainteaser section.  Customers who provide feedback will receive an additional entry for the prize draw.

Place pen in fan before blowing air (purple pen in image)Fan Operated Power Supplies

 
Summer brings higher temperatures that play havoc with hard working power supplies.  Now is the time to think seriously about the fans that operate within your PSU's on a 24/7 basis.  For Innovative manufactured products, it is recommended that the lids be removed from these products and a check of the fan be made for bearing noise or any other sound other than blade noise, if in any doubt contact our sales office or service dept for pricing of a replacement fan.
A pencil or screwdriver must be placed through the fan blade to prevent bearing damage whilst compressed air is blown across the fan blade.  The cost of replacing the fan is far less than the associated cost due to the loss of an important or critical system.










EMC Chamber available for hire EMC Chamber for Hire



 

Innovative Energies Ltd has an Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test facility available for pre-compliance testing on a hire basis.  The test results can be printed, saved to disc or e-mailed for future reference.

The facility is not officially calibrated and therefore certified compliance testing cannot be performed.  However, comparison of results obtained from this facility have shown to closely resemble certified compliance test results.  Many companies have used this facility to substantially reduce costs of compliance testing as Innovative does not charge based on your failures!  
If you are interested in hiring the EMC chamber please contact the sales office.

    Seasons greetings to everyone ...
     
    It seems like only yesterday that i was typing the same message. Where has the year gone? All we know is that it's not that long to the rugby world cup (2011 for those who have not been near the internet or have more important problems to solve). 
     
    Thank God that New Zealand is a ‘safe’ democracy and we should be pleased that we have controversies like whether we should build a national stadium on Auckland’s waterfront.   No solution will ever please everyone but it is good to  see that there are people interested enough to participate in the debate and express their views.   If  Nicky Hager was a Russian he would probably have been poisoned by now.

     

    In other words there are events which are beyond our control and which most of us choose to only observe from a distance.   We salute those who endeavour to change the world so that  it is a better place for everyone.

     

    Anyway we hope you have had a good year and we look  forward to helping you next year with all your power supply requirements

     

    Merry Christmas from everyone at Innovative Energies

    Amtex product range now fully represented here in NZ

    We are pleased to announce that Amtex Electronics Australia have appointed Innovative Energies as their exclusive distributor for New Zealand

     

    As a proud local manufacturer, we are  aware that for ‘standard’ mass produced  products our costs are simply too high to be competitive with imported lines.  Whilst our own product fits superbly to many applications, and we have the flexibility to customize for specific jobs, there are a myriad applications for which a comprehensive range of product is needed in order to meet varied customer needs.

     

    The Amtex range presents a wide range of product carefully selected from reputable international manufacturers,  eg. Lambda, Artesyn, Absapulse, XPPower,  Mascot.   All of this product meets one or more of the international standards including CE mark, EN, UL and CSA, EMC standards. 

     

    We now have an  offering that is unmatched by any other power supply specialist in NZ.

     

    To add convenience for you our customer, we have dramatically increased our stockholding in Amtex ‘preferred’ lines, eg ZWS..,  SWS..,  DLP.., NLP..,  NFS.., PP..  ranges of PSUs and converters.   We are able to deliver from the Sydney warehouse very quickly should we not have what you need in out Auckland warehouse.
