EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE
There are three models, with each model
superseding an equivalent model in the
Power Equipment range. The models are
the PE-NANO (supersedes the EC-90),
the PE-MANUAL (supersedes the EC-
150) and the PE-AUTO (supersedes the
ACP-200).
The new range of Engine Controllers
represents a significant upgrade in
technology, functionality and physical
appearance. The sturdy case on the PE-
Manual and PE-Auto has a weather seal
to protect against dust and water. The
PE-Nano, even without a case, is rated at
IP65 for longer protection.
“Our goal has been to make the new
controllers as simple, reliable and easy to
use as possible,” Noel Heritage, Business
Manager at Power Equipment said.
“The superseded range of Power
Equipment Engine Controllers had been
in production for some years, so it was an
ideal time to undertake an upgrade.”
The features across the new range of
Engine Controllers vary. The PE-Nano
controller has keyless start and stop,
oil pressure and coolant temperature

protection plus optional low coolant
level and a water-in-fuel sensor for JCB
engines.
The PE-Manual controller takes the
functions of the PE-Nano and includes
extra functionality of two wire start/
stop, twin float start/stop, fuel pump
pressure monitoring and protection, loss
of prime, 99 hour run timer and for JCB
applications only, water-in-fuel.
The PE-Auto controller goes further
than the PE-Manual with the addition
of seven day repeatable start/stop timer
and individual daily start/stop. Power
Equipment will also roll out added
optional features on the PE-Auto unit
from July 2016. These include Remote 3G
monitoring and control telemetry.
In response to customer demand, the
“Remote Stop Shutdown” feature with
current Engine Controllers is no longer
standard. It can be ordered as a plug in
option across all three new controller
models in applications where required.
As an aid to reliability, the previous two-
piece control harness has been replaced
by a new design, one piece 2m long

The new electric portable compressors
from Kaeser, are powered by motors rated
at 15–25kW and form part of the family of
Mobilair M27, M31 and M50 compressors.
These machines are ideal for
environmentally sensitive areas such
as clean air zones or building sites
near hospitals, tunnel construction or
as bridge compressors for industrial
stations. Kaeser said electric compressors
make sense since electricity is generally
cheaper than diesel fuel and electric
compressors cost less to maintain.
The IE3 premium efficiency motors, meet
the IP55 enclosure and Class F insulation
standards, as well as comply with and
exceed prevailing Australian GEMS
regulations for 3 phase electric motors.
The Mobilair electric portable
compressors are equipped as standard
with the advanced Sigma Control Smart
Electric portable compressor range with zero emissions
controller and Kaeser`s
patented Anti-Frost
Control. The Sigma Control
Smart makes set-up
and operation – such as
pressure adjustments –
quick and simple with
an easy-to-read colour
display and the Anti-Frost
Control protects tools from
frost and corrosion.
The models are
available with a choice
of a rotational moulded
polyethylene or metal
enclosure and in both
road-going and stationary
versions. Flow rates range
between 2 and 5m³/min
for pressures from 7 to
14bar.
