Monitor and control the MP8000 Bluetooth® Overload Relay on your Apple® device. Use the MP8000 app to configure the relay, view real-time data, and troubleshoot fault codes via a Bluetooth interface in the relay. No need to open the control panel. Keeping the panel door closed, keeps workers safer from the dangers of arc flash. The app has a range of 30 feet so workers can stay far away from the panel and can even stay in their vehicle in remote applications. * Easily pair multiple MP8000 Relays to your Apple® device * Stand next to the motor or pump – not the relay – to monitor equipment startup on new installations * Improve safety: monitor your motor or pump from 30 feet away * Reduce set up time with less wiring PAIRING Pairing is safe and secure. Pair with Apple® iPhone® or iPad® (version 7.0 and higher) smartphone or tablet. A unique pairing code is printed on the side label found on the MP8000 relay. MP8000 RELAY The MP8000 enhanced overload relay protects any motor drawing 0.5-1,000 full load Amps (external CTs are required above 100 Amps). It is designed for single or 3-phase systems with operating voltages of 90-690 VAC (use of external potential transformers can extend upper voltage range above 690 VAC). Common applications include conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, saws and grinders, fan motors, and almost any pumping application. PROTECTION FROM * Overload (Overpower) * Underload (Underpower) * Overcurrent/Jam * Undercurrent * Current Unbalance * Phase Loss * Phase Reversal * Overvoltage * Undervoltage * Voltage Unbalance * Rapid Cycling/Jog * Contactor Failure * Zero-Sequence Ground Fault * PTC Motor Overtemperature WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING “This is a HUGE opportunity. During a new installation, I can be right next to the motor at start up to see if it’s binding (or other problems) and shut it off immediately”

Visual Components Experience (VCE) for iPhone and iPad allows you to view and share your manufacturing simulations on-the-go. You can collaborate with your colleagues, customers or partners on your layout designs and present your simulations on your preferred device anytime, anywhere. The app supports VCAX format that you could create from your Visual Components desktop app within few clicks. Simply open that file with the app to watch your layouts in action. You can easily navigate inside a layout with touch screen controls and with simple dual touch zoom in and out features you can take a closer look at a robot cell or watch simulation of all your processes from a bird eye view. One touch rotation allows you to see your simulations from different angles. The latest VCE 1.8 version supports point clouds that adds more realism to your simulations when sharing your designs through visual components experience app. EULA: https://terms.visualcomponents.com/eula_experience/eula_experience_v201911.pdf 3rd party copyright: https://terms.visualcomponents.com/3rd_party_copyrights_experience/3rd_party-copyrights_vc_experience_v20211015.pdf Privacy Policy: https://terms.visualcomponents.com/privacy_policy/Privacy%20Policy%20_v201911.pdf
