Intrinsically Safe Humidity and Temperature Duct Transmitter with 4-20mA Output
Relative humidity, temperature sensors at 150mm stem. Measured values are also converted to other humidity interpretations: dew point temperature, absolute humidity, specific humidity, mixing ratio, specific enthalpy.
ATEX certification for use in potentially explosive environments.
Electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
Special devices that can be a source of potential danger. Such devices must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained so as to not cause the explosion in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The basic information about equipment intended for use in the potentially explosive atmosphere contains 94/9/EC (ATEX) Directive.
Potentially explosive atmosphere
An area, in which could be present a mixture of air and flammable substances (gas, vapor, mist, combustible dust) in such a concentration, that it may catch fire. Explosion may be initiated by a spark or hot surface.
T311xEx transmitters are intrinsically safe
It is a way of equipment protection, which is based on the limitation of energy (electrical and thermal) at a level lower than the level that could cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture.
The principle of intrinsic safety equipment
Lies in limitation of the amount of electric energy supplied to electric circuits from power source and energy accumulated into parts of electric circuits. Intrinsically safe zener barriers and intrinsically safe isolation amplifiers are elemental types of intrinsically safe interfaces designed to protect electrical circuits installed in potentially hazardous areas.
