CBW examines some of the industry suppliers who are supporting the conference this year
Each ALBUM Conference attracts a number of companies looking to promote their offering to the various operators in attendance. Below, we outline what some of the exhibitors are bringing to the event this year.
Alfatronix
Specialising in providing solutions for voltage critical equipment in the coach and bus sector, Alfatronix says it understands vehicle electronics and is proud to be celebrating the success of both its stabilised dc-dc voltage converters for providing a clean 12vdc/24vdc voltage where required and its dual output converters, which provide a permanent output. The dual output converters also have one switchable feed via the ignition for maintaining radio memory and permitting correct shutdown of the DVR for CCTV.
The sensitivities of modern electronic equipment to variable input voltages, susceptibility to EMC interference and in some cases, the need to isolate the supply has made voltage stabilisation an important section of the Alfatronix product range. The company said start/stop technology has added to this problem and it is seeing more demand for its wide range of 12-12vdc and 24-24vdc isolated products that ensure a stable and reliable voltage onboard the vehicle.
Some automotive equipment, such as radio communications, usually has two links to the vehicle’s electrical system, one for memory back-up and one for switching the equipment on or off. In addition, the DVR for CCTV in some cases requires an additional input to permit correct shutdown when the vehicle ignition is switched off. The dual output converter is used by Sure Transport for this application.
The on/off function is controlled from the ignition switch, so that when the ignition key is removed, the equipment is turned off, preventing the battery from becoming discharged whilst leaving the memory back-up circuit still active. Both products are currently installed across vehicle fleets throughout the UK and Europe where they are working behind the scenes to provide this power conversion for every day equipment. […]
