  • Publication number: 20210231335
    Abstract: A measuring apparatus having a housing, at least one internal sensor, an electronic control unit, at least one radio module, an operating device and an information carrier. The measuring apparatus is configured to be connected to external sensors by cable and/or wirelessly, the electronic control unit is configured to convert measurement signals from internal and external sensors into digital measurement data and to provide the digital measurement data to the information carrier. The information carrier is configured to provide and display as priority, in the case of simultaneous availability of wired or wireless sensors, either the data of the wired sensors or the data of the wireless sensors. A system for performing measurement tasks and managing measurement data, and methods for starting up and/or maintaining an air conditioning system are also provided, as well as methods for starting up and/or maintaining a system.

  • Publication number: 20190170392
    Abstract: A water handling device comprising a water processing unit and an outer shell housing of vibration and/or pulsation damping material. The water handling device comprising opposed end plates including a water inlet connector, a water outlet connector, and a power connector. A circuit board extends between the opposed end plates and is connected thereto. An inner housing made of cured encapsulating material filling an interior volume defined by the outer shell housing and the end plates. The encapsulating material is hard or elastic relative to the soft outer shell housing. Vibration and/or pulsation damping elements protrude outwardly relative to the outer shell housing.
