Kele Custom Panel Shop

With continued investment in new technology and manufacturing innovations, Kele is expanding its capabilities to bring greater efficiency, precision, and consistency to the panel-building process. From engineering and design to advanced production and hands-on assembly, our Panel Shop brings the people, technology, and components together to help simplify panel production and keep projects moving.

Gas Detection Central Panel: Do You Still Need One?

A gas detection central panel is easy to keep specifying, because specs get written once and then reused for years. Today’s detectors carry communications and outputs that used to require that panel. Knowing the difference can be worth thousands of dollars on a bid.

Replacing a Valve Actuator: What to Know Before You Order

Replacing a valve actuator starts with information, not a part pick. This short guide covers what to capture at the valve so the replacement actuator matches the application the first time.

Current Switch vs Current Transducer vs Current Transformer

Current switch vs current transducer vs current transformer: three devices that all detect current, and three completely different outputs. This short explainer covers what each one sends back to your system so the right part ends up on the order.

Valve CV vs Control Authority: How to Size a Control Valve

Valve CV vs control authority are two different concepts, and mixing them up is how valves end up oversized. CV is the coefficient of flow, the gallons per minute a valve passes when it is fully open. Control authority is how much of the flow the valve actually controls once it is placed in service in the line.

Pneumatic to Electric Actuator Retrofit: What to Plan First

A pneumatic to electric actuator retrofit is possible on most valves and dampers, but it is a planning job before it is a parts job. This guide covers the two decisions that drive the work: fitting the new actuator to what is already there, and routing power and control signal to a location that was never wired for either.

Buy Restricted Controls Products: How Contractor Accounts Work

Some controls lines are restricted, which means you cannot simply buy them off the shelf. To buy restricted controls products you need to be licensed by the manufacturer, because those products take real expertise to design, install, and service, and the manufacturer wants the building owner to get what they were promised.

Commissioning Software Issues: Graphics, Testing, and Point Mapping

Commissioning software issues are usually avoidable, and most of them trace back to work that was skipped before anyone reached the job site. Abel Ramirez and Randy discuss what shows up most on the software side of commissioning and how to get ahead of it.

Nuisance Alarms in Building Automation: The Most Dangerous Alarm

Nuisance alarms in building automation are the alarms that teach operators to stop looking. They come from alarming on everything and from alarm parameters set so tightly that normal operation trips them. In this conversation, a Kele expert explains how they accumulate and what to do about it.

Controls Project Delays: What You Can Actually Prevent

Controls project delays split into two categories: the ones outside a contractor’s control and the ones created inside the office. A Kele expert walks through both, and makes the case that detailed planning by the project manager prevents most of what actually goes wrong.

BAS Startup vs Commissioning: What Each One Proves

BAS startup vs commissioning is a distinction worth getting right before you bid the work. Startup is the controls contractor bringing the system to life and proving the points. Commissioning is a neutral third party verifying and documenting that the system performs the engineer’s sequence of operation.
