Stay Out of the Dark with WIKA InSight™ Options

Robin Daughtry | February 13th, 2015

 

WIKA has one great option with its new Insight™ and InsightGlow™ Technologies

Readability has greatly improved for WIKA gauges with this new illumination option – particularly when industrial conditions hinder a proper gauge reading.  Oftentimes the conditions don’t lend to an easy read, whether it’s a low lit area, areas in shadow behind complex machinery, the interior of chemical plants including tanks and pipes, difficult to reach corners of process equipment, heavy steam areas, or even emergency situations involving heavy smoke.

WIKA Insight™

The InSight option includes a retro-reflective material affixed to the dial face. At daylight, the fluorescent color absorbs non-visual UV light reflecting additional light and making the gauge even more visible. At low light, the pattern of the retro-reflective material also makes the dial more visible to stand out among other regular gauges.

This easy-to-view option comes in three colors: white, fluorescent yellow, and fluorescent orange. It is currently available on industrial and process type gauges (SS wetted parts) and bimetal thermometers for both dry and liquid-filled case options, in sizes from 2 ½” to 6” in diameter.

WIKA Insight Glow™

The InSight Glow option uses a retro-reflective, photo-luminescent dial design that illuminates the entire front of the instrument dial for an extended amount of time when exposed to a light source for as little as 10 seconds. The dial appears bright white in darkness, fog, smoke, and fire. InSight Glow meets the National Fire Protection Association’s standards for bright-white visibility in a power outage.

The Glow is also available on industrial and process type gauges (SS wetted parts) and bimetal thermometers for both dry and liquid-filled case options, in sizes from 2 ½” to 6” in diameter.
