DOTcard System - DOTcard2130 Core IdentsProduct OverviewThe DOTcard2130 two-part sleeve and core ident system is probably the most popular wayof identifying instrumentation wiring across the world today.

The system is made up of a transparent sleeve, the DOTsleeve, which has one recess for thewire and one recess for the DOTcard2130 core ident. No more having to disconnect andretest the circuit to change a heat shrunk or non-heat shrunk rubber label or other type ofmarker, simply slide the old label out then slide the new label in.

The DOTcard2130 core identification system can print up to 7,200 core idents per hour andworks with the same thermal printer and DOTlabel Software as the DOTcable markingsystem.The software enables you to import information direct from Word and Excel, savingenormous amounts of labour time and money in reduced production times.

The DOTcard2130 core identification system has numerous features and benefits such as:• Thermal printer producing up to 7,200 core idents per hour• Easy to use DOTlabel Software, which can import information direct from Word & Excel• Easy to install ‘slide in and break off ’ DOTcard2130 and DOTsleeve system• Clear, easy to read text or numbers, even on small cores• No heat gun required• Label can be changed even after termination

The DOTcard2130 core idents are ex-stock and available for immediate despatch.

DOTsleeve21 or DOTsleeve30 Transparent SleevesProduct OverviewThe transparent DOTsleeve has two recesses, one for the wire and one for the label.The DOTcard2130 core identification system has twodistinct advantages over other systems available on the market today.The first being that should the core ident require changing after thewire has been connected, simply slide the old label out before sliding the new one in.There’s no need to disconnect and retest the circuit.

The second advantage is that should the information to be printed onto the DOTcard2130 core idents not be available at the time theEngineers are ready to connect the wires and test the circuit, the Engineers can simply slide the DOTsleeves into place, connect the wiresand test the circuit and the printed core ident can be slid into the DOTsleeve as and when the information becomes available.This cannotbe done if a heatshrink labelling system is being used.

Both the DOTsleeve21 and the DOTsleeve30 are available in a range of core diameters (see table below) and are manufactured from aflexible PVC for ease of installation.All sizes of the DOTsleeves are ex-stock and available for immediate despatch.

DOT - Pipeline Identification TapeHeavy-Duty Pipeline Identification TapeProduct OverviewThe DOT-heavy-duty Pipeline Identification Tape is exactly as its name suggests, heavy-duty,long-lasting tape, which is designed and manufactured to endure arduous conditions.Theindustry was calling out for a product, which could not only stand up to the extreme weatherconditions of the North Sea, but also have a temperature performance capable of performingin diverse climatic variations worldwide.

The outdoor heavy-duty Pipeline Identification Tape has been accepted into the industry asclients found the existing products available i.e. PVC tapes and tape machines, were unable tocompete with the performance and life expectancy of this product.The product is factorymade to order and can be supplied in various formats.The format takes into account twovery important factors, safety and installation.

SafetyThe format has continuous arrows and reverse wording and British Standard colouring.Thisenables the Pipeline Identification Tape to be seen and read from whatever direction you lookat the pipe work. For overseas projects this also has proved successful, as we are able toprint dual languages on the same heavy-duty tape.

InstallationThe other advantage of having continuous arrows and wording is the time and labour saved on installation time.This isachieved by not having to line up the directional arrows and wording, and having to cut the tape at a certain length to notoverlap and distort the existing wording. With our heavy-duty Pipeline Identification Tape manufactured with the wording,arrows, colours and backing sheet all on one roll, these problems do not occur, and installation is fast, precise, clear andabove all, safe.

BenefitsThe DOT-heavy-duty Pipeline Identification Tape has considerable advantages over other forms of marking process pipework. Detailed below are some of the benefits that can be achieved by using the product.

Low Chloride Level’s - from experience we found that this is a very important issue and a hugebenefit to you the client.The product does not affect stainless steel, causing no corrosion etc, and itcan be applied directly onto the pipe work, which means that the product is flat to the surface andthere will be no build up of salt or dirt under the identification tape. In the long term this meansthat the maintenance of this product is minimal when compared to a banded or snap on product.

Backing Sheet - ideal when applying to narrow pipe work, this saves time on installation as theproduct can be slid in between the pipes without adhering, so can be cut to the required lengthand then applied simply and quickly.

Temperature Performance - minus 40°C to +150°C (minus 40° to +300°F) so works well ineither extreme cold or hot environments.

Dual Language - the product can be supplied in any language or a mixture of two languages,which is ideal for locations where English is not the first spoken language.

Water, Chemical and Humidity Resistant - tape not affected by Oil, Petroleum, Detergent /Water, Sulphuric Acid, Bleach / Water,Washer Solution and Ethylene Glyco / Water.

High Strength Acrylic Adhesive - provides permanence, high adhesion to metals, plastics andpainted surfaces, excellent long-term ageing and resists flagging and edge-lifting on flat or curvedsmooth surfaces.

DOTlaser Engraved LabelsLabels Presented in Sheet Form:

• Easy to sort

• Easy to apply

• Resulting in quick application with fewer lost labels

• Saves TIME and MONEY

Superior Self Adhesive Backing:• No additional sticking process (No “Superglue” no mess)

• No additional C.O.S.H requirements

• No more labels falling off!!!

• Saves TIME and MONEY

No Border:• Larger engraving area, important for smaller labels

• More characters per label possible

• 600 DPI resolution, standard

• Up to 1200 DPI if required

Precision Cutting:• Able to cut label to ANY shape

• Cut fixing holes if required

• Accurate to 1/10th of a millimeter

The Product:Our engraving material is made by applying a micro thin layer of ink colour, protected by a coating, to a plasticbase sheet.The base sheet largely controls the physical properties of the finished label.The base and cap, as wellas the foils, have been tested for flammability by Underwriters Laboratories, and are rated 94 HB on theAmerican UL 94 test.The foil was judged as not contributing to the combustion of the base material.

The rear of the label is covered with a 0.21mm thick self-adhesive polyester film, which is coated on both sideswith a heavy mass of a transparent high performance, high tack modified acrylic adhesive.

It has an operating temperature range of –30° to +150° Celsius, and can be applied at as low as +5° Celsius.Thisgives a wide range of conditions under which the product can be used.

The adhesive will retain its specified performance in respect of peeland shear strength for a period of ten years in a typical computerroom environment.This assumes relatively constant temperatures inthe range of 15° to 23° Celsius and relatively constant humidity inthe range 40% to 60% RH.

It is also suitable for external use and as a result of our tests andpractical experience, we expect this product to last for at least 10years when used correctly in a typical Northern European climate.
