The Latest Vacuum Cleaning Equipment Is NOT Your Mothers Old Machine!

The Latest Vacuum Cleaning Equipment Is NOT Your Mothers Old Machine!

There was a time not to long ago when a vacuum cleaner was basically the same machine no matter where or how it was purchased. In previous times, the decision on what vacuum cleaner to purchase was based more on the “extras” the salesman offered but more often than not, it was the financing arrangements that were available.

Like now, most families could ill afford the additional expense of replacing home appliances, what few that were available. The vacuum cleaner however was one piece of equipment that was considered almost a necessity once it was used, especially with the advent of wall to wall carpet.

Many homes pre-1960 didn’t have wall to wall carpet but instead relied on area rugs for floor coverings. These large rugs could be taken out to the backyard, hung over a fence or clothesline and beaten with a carpet beater to remove ground in soil.

Vacuum cleaners removed the need to take rugs out of the house for cleaning. Today however, there are several carpet cleaning technologies available. Two of the most popular types of vacuum cleaner technologies include HEPA filtration and bagless.

Both technologies have the champions and like everything else have their positives and negatives. The positive with HEPA filtration is that small particulate dirt is better captured. This allows for a cleaner exhaust and theoretically, a cleaner indoor environment. The negative with HEPA type filters is that because they capture the finer dirt particles, they tend to need more frequent bag or filter replacement. Another potential issue is that as the HEPA filter captures more dirt, it also tends to lose some suction power as the filters fill.

Bagless vacuum cleaners are exactly what the name suggests. Bagless vacuum equipment typically features a cup or hard plastic container that captures the dirt during use. This makes emptying a lot easier and the amount of consumables like vacuum bags and filters is a lot less.

Consider not only the technology but the ease of use, general quality of the equipment, weight if you’re going to carry it up and down stairs, etc. Onboard tools are nice but why carry around all that extra weight when not needed. Every vacuum technology has their share of people who love and people who hate it. The key is to find the vacuum cleaner you like.

Fiber Optics Test Equipment: Diagnosis Needed

Fiber Optics Test Equipment: Diagnosis Needed

Testing for continuity, checking signal loss and troubleshooting problems – these are the reasons why a fiber optics test equipment is here for. After a cable set-up, installation, connection and termination has been made, fiber optic testing is in order. One has to check whether everything – every parameter for a fully functional and operational fiber optic system is within specifications.

A fiber optics test equipment is made to test for different parameters and factors. As important as having the right tools – and fully functional at that, is the necessity of knowing how to use these. It is thus advised that before going to the field for actual work, one must check every fiber optics test equipment he will be using, making sure these are working well and properly calibrated.

Before one goes out to the field, it is important that one have the cable layouts to have a guide on what needs testing. One also needs to record results of the test data gathered. This documentation is important so that there will be records for reference and for tracing back if it would be necessary.

Some of the commonly used fiber optics test equipments are:

Fiber Optic Tracer

This fiber optics test equipment is used to check for continuity and to trace a fiber’s path from one point to another. This type of equipment has a LED source that mates to a fiber optics connector. With a cable attached for testing, one needs to look at the other end point to see if the light from LED source is transmitter through the fiber. If one finds no light, check the intermediate connections to determine the defective portion of the fiber optics cable. Also, instead of a LED, tracers that are more powerful use a laser. The breaks in fibers or the high loss connectors can easily be seen with the obvious red laser light.

Fiber Optics Microscope

This is used to check the quality of the termination process on the connectors. This allows one to do the inspection procedure from several angles. Always be careful though when checking cables with this microscope, making sure no power is present in it.

Fiber Optics Power Meter

This fiber optics test equipment measures power. The meter should be set at the appropriate range before doing the test. Check if there is enough power for the system. Having too much power overloads the receiver, while having too little will make the receiver treat the signal as noise.

Do you want all the necessary testing tools?

If you want a more complete set of tools or equipment for your fiber optics testing job, then you may like having a fiber optics test kit. One can choose from many brands out there. It is important that you get high-quality tools to help you perform your fiber optics testing efficiently, and do these the safest way.

Maintainence of new equipment lengthens company investments

With any investment comes the importance of maintenance. As the CEO of a large company, I wanted to ensure the greatest length of use when installing my new company investment. After purchasing a multi-line digital phone system, I wanted my purchase to last for a lifetime. This would make the cost of the investment more sufficient to my future budgets.

My employees were extremely satisfied with the new installation. Their easy-to-use features allowed for a greater productivity level throughout the company. Customers were happier; employees were as well, which leads to my current state of happiness as well.

After purchasing this large system, it was suggested that close attention be made to the maintenance of the equipment. In order for the phones to remain 100%, they must be taken care of. My employees use the system all day, 7 days a week. It is essential for the phones to remain new and fresh.

By taking time on a daily basis to clean the phones with a cotton cloth and rubbing alcohol, employees can be assured that their health is secure. This is an effective way to remove the usual residue that backs up on a phone because of its constant use. This also will lead to greater success of the phones in the future.

Studies show that most of the germs that we pass along come from the telephone. This added cleanliness factor may result in less sick days being taken by your employees. This also adds to the overall success of your company.

By maintaining the phones, my large equipment investment could be lengthened. By taking a few moments to clean the phones, their continued satisfaction for customers, my employees and myself is guaranteed. This satisfaction ensured even greater success for my business and most importantly, satisfying the concerns of my customers.

When Do You Need Dictation Equipment

When Do You Need Dictation Equipment

Dictation equipment is a method to record ideas rather than writing them down. It is also used in business as it allows for quick and accurate recording of information. In addition, it is used when writing isn’t practical such as in medical services. There is a variety of dictation equipment on the market and it’s important to choose the correct one for your needs.

There are two main situations for dictation. The first is when note taking is too time consuming or difficult, such as when one is traveling. In these situations a recorder can easily record a necessary conversation.

The second situation is to shift the burden of typing from highly paid executives and professionals to lower salaried employees. Executives and professionals such as doctors dictate. Transcribers then transcribe the work to document form.

There are two types of Dictaphone equipment available – analog and digital. Analog is the older technology and it’s pretty straightforward. You can choose from either desk units or pocket recorders which have a built in microphone. Micro-cassettes are the standard recording device.

One very important feature to have is indexing. This lets the user add a tone at the start and end of a dictated message, which makes it easier for the transcriber to find the beginning and end of a document.

Voice activation is another feature to consider. With voice activation, when you speak the recording starts automatically. However, the first couple of words are usually distorted.

Digital dictation equipment is the new kid on the block, and it’s a great deal more complex than analogue equipment. It offers many different capabilities depending on what is needed.

Transcription equipment is used to convert messages that have been dictated to written documents. You should purchase equipment that lets the transcriber modify both the speed and volume of the dictation, as well as rewinding and forwarding.

The best machines have foot controls so the transcriber doesn’t have to stop typing to backup or adjust the tape. Also look for units where the buttons are placed so that the record button can’t accidentally be turned on; thereby erasing a dictated message.

Dictation equipment can range in price from under to over 0,000. Yes that’s correct! Low end units can be purchased online at many sites that offer office equipment and, of course, you can also find them at local retail outlets.

Most users will be looking for a fairly basic Dictaphone but larger systems, like those 0,000 systems, are going to need support and installation. They will need to be purchased through specialized firms that can provide these services.

Dictation equipment is an important part of many business environments so give it the attention it deserves.

Purchasing new phone equipment leads to greater company success

Purchasing new phone equipment leads to greater company success

Communication is key to a successful business. As a customer service representative, the quality of my business’s current phone system isn’t exactly the most technologically-advanced equipment. After twenty years of customer service experience at 3 different companies, I have discovered through the years that effective phone systems are essential for a business. They ensure the greatest availability and accessibility for employees to assist customers with their concerns.

Because of my forward-thinking work ethic, I researched new phone systems and decided to initiate a new phone system purchase from a website that sold a variety of top manufacturers at a low, more affordable price for growing businesses. The low prices made it easier to convince my boss to invest in them. This site helps companies to further extend their phone systems throughout their company, therefore allowing for a greater rate of success after installation occurs.

The convenience of online usage in literally anything, allowed for a quicker decision to be made. Both my supervisor and I viewed the systems online. We both decided these systems would help our future success and ultimately the customer’s. This played a large part in our decision-making process. Our customers are always the first people that we are concerned about.

After discovering that there are a variety of systems, key, PBX, digital or hybrid systems, we decided to implement a Complete Avaya Lucent Partner package. This system allows for the ability of 5 lines and 9 telephones to access it. Most importantly, it can be expanded to 17 lines and 41 phones. Our investment would include everything we needed to get started at a comparable lower rate than any other company I researched.

The easy-to-use service and affordability factor made it hard for my boss to say no. And now a month after installation, my colleagues and I enjoy a great phone system that allows us to effectively answer the questions and concerns of our customers. Our daily concerns of our old phone systems are gone. Now we can remain calm and assured that our new phone system purchase was the right choice to make!
