The SmartguardAir is powered by two AA batteries which provide up to 2 years of battery life when operated 300 times a day. A very useful feature in both versions is the backup memory chip which allows you to record all the programmed access codes. You can then remove the chip and use it to program other keypads on the same site. The Smartguard Stand-Alone Keypad includes the following features: Up to 1000 unique 1 to 10 digit codes for greater security and versatility in a multi-user application (up to 10 billion permutations). Selectively add and delete user codes – easy administration of multi-user system. Memory backup facility – guarantees data security. Multiple outputs for improved functionality. Anti-hack feature – prevents access through vandalism. Various alarm conditions including duress and panic – increase situational safety. The programmable down counter allows a limited number of entries. Elegant sturdy construction – for greater durability. Weatherproof – suitable for both interior and exterior use. Backlit keypad with audible feedback – improved usability in dark conditions. Optional anti-tamper switch – provides warning of physical tampering. Optional anti-knock shield manufactured from brushed 304 stainless steel – provides greater resistance against vandalism. For more information download our product datasheet. SMARTGUARD STAND ALONE KEYPAD DATASHEET
Bur Extractor Tool is designed to help you remove the smallest of burs from your Vortex F5 Carver. We found very small steel needle nose pliers works best. These heat treated steel needle nose pliers is the perfect tool for removing the small burs like the FG-33½ or FG-¼. These needle nose pliers feature a nonslip comfort grip and a drop forged construction for added durability.
Directions: 1) Twist Vortex F5 cap to the open position. 2) Grip “shaft” of bur with Extractor Tool. 3) Carefully nudge the bur from the spindle. 4) Replace bur by wiping the shaft clean. 5) Seat bur completely into the spindle. 6) Twist Vortex F5 cap to the close position.
Why We Use Ceramic Bearings
Ceramic Bearings are ideal for the Vortex F5. They are superior to common steel bearings in many ways. Ceramic is the ideal material for obtaining higher RPM (faster speed).
Ceramic balls need less lubricant and have a greater hardness than steel balls. This contributes to increased bearing life. Thermal properties of ceramic balls are more superior than steel resulting in less heat generation at higher speeds.
Ceramic bearing assemblies use ceramic balls but they are constructed with steel inner and outer rings. Ceramic balls weigh up to 40% less than steel balls. This reduces centrifugal loading so ceramic bearings can operate up to 50% faster. Also, the outer race groove exerts less force against the ball as the bearing spins, reducing the friction and rolling resistance. The final results, ceramic balls allows the bearing to spin faster and uses less energy to maintain rotational speed.
By not having to insert burs by bear down on a hard surface like other carving tools, radial bearings can be utilized instead of angular bearings. Radial bearings are better suited for carving on their sides. Angular bearings which are primarily used in a vertical position and drilling.
Permanently Lubed for Life Turbine Bearings
Within the nosecone of the Vortex F5, there is a turbine bearing assembly. The bearings are permanently lubed and never need oiling. Warning: using an in-line mist fog oiler or placing drops of oil or cleaner into the hose may cause damage to the carver and void the warranty.
