Title: BRX Inputs
Post by: jwbaker3 on March 14, 2017, 08:59:54 AM: I was just going over the spec's on the BRX, thank you for two BIG things for me. 1. The inputs will take ac or dc I lost a job not too long ago because all of the controls were 24 vac and I would have to do interposing relays on the inputs for the 205 DoMore. It made the cost too high for the wiring and panel space. 2. Making the analog's current/voltage selectable. (this is something I asked for when you asked what we wanted in the platform) This will allow me to stock fewer units in the service trucks for our Tech's and lower my overhead cost for inventory and we will have what we need when we need it.

The other BIG thing for me is it is made in the USA. We use the best products we can find to do the job required, we and most of our customers like the fact a product is made here. We would rather not get a job than use junk to lower the price. It is nice to find a product that has a good price point very good quality and is made in the USA.

Also Happy PI day! Make sure you do the math before having the slice!

I realized I was going to hit Pi I with 5 implied decimal places on my '98 Ranger today and watched it make the rollover to 314159 on 3/14/2017. Sadly, I had passed mile marker 314 16 miles before. Wait! make that mm 314 15.9 miles before! Happy!

SWEET! What are the odds? 8)
