Innovatronix unveils EV (Electric Vehicles)

2011-05-11T09:57:00.004+08:00

Innovatronix proudly introduces the Tronix Ecart, the first Philippine-made electric cart, with state of the art design yet made to be economically affordable, suitable to the needs of industries, communities and consumers of an emerging economy such as the Philippines.

Ramon Castillo, Innovatronix' top boss said, “with our very good product development in the past years, the Tronix Ecart, with excellent battery range and charging, carrying capacity of 4-5 people and at amazing price of approximately PhP200,000 (about USD4600) and driving the Tronix Ecart costs as little as 60 centavos (PhP0.60) per Km. So there really has never been a better time and opportunity to introduce electric vehicles to the Philippine market but now!”

Tronix Ecarts are designed to be used in golf courses, manufacturing plants, warehouses and commmunities or townships.

This is not the first time that the company had forayed into electric vehicle manufacturing. Since 2003, it has been coming out with a few models of electric bicycles. Its latest model, the Tronix Ebike Exceed, a foldable electric bike, was released in 2009.

Prototypes are now running at Innovatronix facility and the company will behttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif coming out with 5 more prototypes prior to its release, to fully test and characterize its performance and reliability.

Innovatronix releases Tronix PowerCore: Online UPS

2010-08-15T15:32:00.003+08:00

Following its success in portable power products, Innovatronix Inc proudly releases its newest product, the TRONIX POWERCORE. Designed to provide up to 24hours of power for most critical equipment such as computers, servers - during long and rotating power interruptions or sudden power failures.

Tronix PowerCore is an online UPS that can continuously provide 24+ hours back up power to critical PC/workstations (single PC load), with ZERO transfer time upon loss of power. It protects these equipment from data loss or corruption due to sudden power failure or longer power interruption.

Unlike common off-line UPS, Tronix PowerCore guarantees zero transfer time upon loss of main power. Such feature is best for conditions where electricity flickers. With its zero-transfer time feature, critical equipment are guaranteed to be always up and online.

Compared to other on-line UPS units that provide up to 10-20 minutes back up power, Tronix PowerCore provides about 24 hours of back up power supply. Ideal for longer power interruptions such as long, rotating brownouts or interruptions caused by disasters such as typhoons or storms.

It is recommended for most critical PCs (data storage, servers) and medical refrigerators (storing sensitive medicines or vaccines).

It can also be used in IT & Communication, Scientific and Laboratory, Manufacturing, SOHOs and other varied businesses and industries.

2010-05-01T14:26:00.001+08:00

Most flash guns are now equipped with wireless remote control systems that they can also serve as studio flashes.

It is an external power supply which converts AC power to high voltage DC power that connects to the flash gun's external power port. Since connected directly to AC, your flash gun will recycle faster and will give unlimited number of flashes.

Energy Saving Devices for Smart Homeowners

2009-10-06T13:59:00.004+08:00

Electronic devices used in the house now function beyond making homemakers' lives easy -- these gadgets have actually become tools to help save energy, and in effect, the environment.

Innovatronix, a Filipino-owned company that has been making innovations in the field of electronics for over 15 years, is now offering energy-saving devices for the homeowner. Innovatronix products offer simple yet significant functions that could spell big savings for the household budget -- truly a home investment that shouldn't be missed!

These devices were developed to help homeowners regulate electricity consumption when it comes to using appliances that have become house staples, but also demands high power -- spelling high electricity bills! These appliances range from refrigerators, airconditioning units and others. Aside from savings, these gadgets help maintain appliances by protecting them from damages brought by sudden power surges or brownouts.

One such product is the Tronix Power On Delay (POD10). Brownouts, power failures and severe voltage fluctuations can damage electrical and electronic appliances, but with the Tronix POD10 device, one doesn't have to worry about sudden power surges. The POD10 protects homes and offices equipments by delaying electrical connection for about four to six minutes until the power stabilizes. Appliances with compressors need at least two minutes for their pressure to equalize, and with the device, refrigerators, freezers, TV sets, audio systems and fax machines are sure to be in no danger of being damaged by these power surges.

Next on the list is the Ref Clock Saver (RCS) -- an electronic device that can generate a low-power consumption for refrigerators and improve the on-off cycle for a smoother temperature regulation. The savings is based on the preferred time setting of savings mode. This device can cut the refrigerator's power consumption to almost half than the usual monthly use -- spelling big savings! This device is also equipped with a power-on delay feature. The RCS has an on-off cycle of eight minutes to 52 minutes.

For air-conditioning units, Tronix ACT 20 is most recommended. With the use of a timer and a power on delay, it manages the aircon’s ON cycle and protects appliances from power surge caused by brownouts. Aircon units can be set to turn on from one to nine hours or continuous on. It has a fan outlet that turns on the electric fan when the timer lapses. It is recommended for window-type airconditioners rated at 2HP and below. This way, homeowners can time usage of the aircon without having to constantly worry of over-using it, and the convenience brought by its timer and fan-outlet features.

If you are looking for a sensor activated device for your lighting fixtures – the Tronix Automatic Night Light (ANL) would do the job. It is a heavy-duty sensor that automatically turns on the CFL in the evening when the surrounding turns dark, and turns off on its own during daytime. This cutting-edge device make for a very efficient evening light as one doesn't have to grasp around the dark just to look for a switch -- avoiding bump accidents. The ANL uses a light sensor switch of about 5mm in diameter, and since it's fully capable of rotating in any direction, it's very easy to use when placed anywhere in the house. Simply use a CFL of up to 60 watts, and at P390 per unit, the ANL is definitely a steal.

Tronix Energy Saving Devices are now available in selected hardware stores and in Tronix Imaging Centers nationwide. For more information on Tronix off-the-shelf products, call 645-1592 or 645-6124; e-mail: marketing@innovatronix.com or log on to www.innovatronix.com/prodphil.asp.

Discover hidden travel spots on ebikes

2009-07-22T17:05:00.001+08:00

Modern day travelers have come a long way – literally. Before, tourists are packed in one bus and follow a pre-arranged itinerary in one whole day. Pre-set stops and schedules rule out chances for more interaction with the locals and other personal experiences.

Today, travelers have learned to explore on their own, mapping out longer trails with the help of friends’ and locals’ advice, along with the buzz word on blogs and in the Internet. With such unlimited options, they get to enjoy the benefits and flavors of a new place – the essence of travel.

This also explains the popularity of walking tours, and more recently bike tours. On bikes, tourists get to travel in comfort and at a leisurely pace, while reaping new and exciting experiences during their trip. Plus, it’s more affordable too while providing a physical activity or workout that fitness buffs enjoy immensely.

Innovatronix Inc., a Filipino owned company producing electronics and other equipment, recently came up with another innovation that can serve as a travel partner for adventure junkies the Tronix Ebike Exceed: the next generation electric bicycle that is a hit among travel buffs.

With a 16” wheel diameter, this foldable electric bicycle can run up to 30kph and up to 20 kms on a full charge.

This smaller and foldable version of the phenomenal Ebike developed also by Innovatronix is easy to bring during biking trips and other travels.

Why choose Tronix Explorer XT?

2009-07-09T15:31:00.001+08:00

Why Choose Tronix Explorer XT?

Photographers will always have to face a situation of shooting outdoors. Most often, in locations where electricity is not always available and when natural light isn’t just enough.

Solutions to these problems, if you are going to bring your lighting equipments out on location, include long, unwieldy extension cables, gas-powered generators or inverters. Going with battery-powered inverter is the easiest and most flexible solution. But, how you do you know which one, among the commercially available products in the market, is the smart choice?

There are other inverters in the market today, which ranges from USD100 to USD1000, or in some cases, even more. Depending on the built or brand of your gear. But generally, some people are fine with something that just works flawlessly.

Are you an enterprising individual who sees earning or small business opportunities? Or do you have the knack for direct selling?

Top 10 Cheap Lighting Tools for 2009

2009-05-06T17:20:00.001+08:00

Lifted from: http://www.studiolighting.net/top-10-cheap-lighting-tools-for-2009/

The Prince of Cheap here! I've been at it again and I gotta say it… we got TONS of questions, comments and info from other photographers like you about the first 10 or more things cheap list from last year and this year. Here we go again! This time I looked for lowest price & most useful in my cheap things. I try to avoid listing cameras because that inherently ties one to a particular system of lenses flashes (and I'd love to live in a world where all lens and flashes were universal).

Anyway, here are the top ten things that continue to fuel my (and soon yours) photography fire!

New Product: Using Tronix Air Blowers

New Product: Tronix Air Blowers

2009-01-19T14:00:00.000+08:00

Flowing hair and dresses. Indoor or outdoor shoots need some of these effects. Just like smoke machines used during photo shoots, use of wind effects add glamour to your images.

Most air blowers are either gas powered or AC powered. Some portable or battery powered air blowers give less reliability and are often more expensive. With the new Tronix Air Blowers - which can be powered by Tronix-made portable power supplies or readily available battery sets - wind blow effect becomes more easier.

Depending on the product model, these blowers are can be directly hooked up to the Tronix Explorer XT and the Tronix Auxiliary Battery pack.

There are two models - Tronix Portable Air Blower and Tronix Handy Air Blower. The large blower is best recommended for powerful air flows, covering large areas. The handy air blower is recommended for partial or directional blows, such as left side of the model's hair or dress.

The Search for Tronix Image Model 2009 is on!

2008-10-20T15:22:00.000+08:00

The path towards stardom may be a tough one – but it just takes a single photo to start your journey to become a celebrity. So if you have a face that can be featured in posters, a smile that distinguishes you from a million smiles, and a personality to charm a crowd, then you can join the Innovatronix Inc.’s search for the Tronix Image Model 2009.

The Tronix Image Model is on a lookout for the best male and female faces, 13 to 24 years old, which can be featured in display materials found in all Tronix outlets in malls and different establishments in Metro Manila and major cities in the provinces. Add to that, the 2009 search will also include a category for young girls, aged 6 to 12 years old.

“We are inviting everyone who has a photogenic face to join this search. All they need to do is fill up an application form available at selected Tronix Imaging Centers , Tronix Evo3 kiosks, or any Pix Imaging outlets in the Luzon region. Submit the form along with an ‘Image Model’ package for P195 which includes all the required pictures to be submitted,” said Ms. Adelaida Jumarito, Operations Manager of Innovatronix, Incorporated. Deadline for submission is on November 30, 2008.

Twelve female finalists (for the 13 to 24 years old category) and six female finalists (for the 6 to 12 years old) will be chosen in December 2008 while only six male finalists (for the 13 to 24 years old category) will be picked. The lucky ones will undergo a pictorial session with a professional photographer. The finalists’ pictures will then be posted at all participating outlets. The public can join in the fun since they can vote for their favorite contestants who will ultimately be the Customers’ Choice.

“The winners of the Customers’ Choice will be determined through ballots; while the Image Model winners shall be chosen by a panel of judges,” said Ms. Jumarito, who added that the 24 finalists will already take home some prizes. Top winners will receive cash, products and gift certificates.

“More than the prizes, the winners’ faces will grace all the Tronix outlets nationwide. This could be the start of their modeling or acting career. It just shows that a single photograph can pave a way for a brighter future,” said Ms. Jumarito.

For details, see posters found in selected Tronix & Pix outlets in Luzon Region or you may call the Innovatronix office at (02) 645 1903, (02) 645 1598, (02) 645 6124 or (02) 645 1592.

Customer Advisory on Foreign Fees

2008-10-09T10:08:00.000+08:00

This article will explain why some card holders see additional fees appearing on their card statement.

=========================================

Some customers have asked why they were charged a "Foreign Fee" when purchasing a product or service online.

Explanation of Foreign Fee
In 2005 Mastercard and VISA began imposing an additional fee for cross border transactions involving currency conversion. I.e. If a card was used outside the country it was issued from and the transaction was in a foreign currency an additional fee was applied to the processing charges by the card companies. The cross border fee is charged to the bank that issued the card, not to the cardholder and not to the merchant.

The issuing banks passed on the fee to the cardholders by adjusting of the currency that transaction was processed in to the currency of the card. In 2007, card companies and issuing banks in the US lost a class action suit brought against them for not disclosing this practice.

The card companies must now ensure that the issuing banks fully disclose additional fees passed on to cardholders.

VISA International Service Assessment (ISA)
VISA's cross border fee is now known as the International Service Assessment (ISA) fee.

VISA began charging issuing banks the ISA on all international purchases from April 2008. If a card is accepted by a foreign bank in the same currency as the bank that issued the card the ISA is 0.8%. If the transaction is made in a different currency then the ISA fee is 1%.

Prior to April 2008 VISA only applied the Cross Border fee of 1% when there was a foreign exchange conversion.

Mastercard Cross Border Fee (CBF)
In principle, Mastercard's Cross Border Fee is the same as VISA's but the wording is slightly different.

If a card is accepted by a foreign bank in the same currency as the bank that issued the card the CBF is 0.8%. If the transaction requires currency conversion an additional 0.2% is applied by Mastercard.

ISSUING BANK FEES

It is important to remember that the Mastercard CBF and VISA ISA fees are charges applied to the issuing bank and not to the cardholder or (us the merchant).

According to the card companies, it is up to the issuing banks as how they apply the fees. Some issuing banks are passing the fees on to the cardholder. Some banks are also applying an additional fee on top of the VISA and Mastercard fees. The additional fees range from 1% and 3%. Some banks choose not to pass on the Foreign Fee as they receive income from the interchange fee. The interchange fee is paid to the issuing bank for taking part in the transaction.

It is clear that some banks are attempting to make additional profit on transactions originating overseas. "Foreign fee" appearing on card holder's statements for card issued by US banks.

In Europe, VISA ISA and Mastercard CBF are collectively known as the cross border fee. Mastercard has stopped applying the CBF to European issued cards.

Tronix Explorer XT Product Review

2008-09-10T12:03:00.001+08:00

Product Review from DIYPhotography.net

I try to do almost all my outdoor shooting with Nikon Speedlites. This should be quite obvious to anyone who reads this blog. However, strobes can not always provide all the light you need. (Unless you can stack a gazillion of them together). Some cases where a strobe will not cut it are shooting against a harsh sun, lighting huge deserted interiors, having to use large diffusers outdoors, and more.

Those are just the types of scenes where I use a studio flash... Hey there! waitaminute!! You said shooting outdoors. Are you pulling my leg with the studio flash thing?
