MELA®
-Humidity/-temperature sensors in these series are
used to measure relative humidity or temperature or relative
humidity and temperature in air and other non-aggressive
gases in explosion hazardous arears and in locations with
inflammable dust.
The sensors comprise a sensor part with a sintered filter
mounted on a robust aluminium die-cast housing (transmitter
part), both made of stainless steel.
Connection to a non-intrinsically safe electric circuit for
humidity (F*C3.Ex/8) and for temperature sensors (T*C3.
Ex/8) is achieved with a 1-channel transmitter power
supply unit and for the combined humidity and temperature
sensors(K*C3.Ex/8) either with a 2-channel or with two
1-channel transmitter power supply units with galvanic
isolation between input-/output circuits and power supply.

Humidity/-temperature sensors
With „ATEX“ licence for locations with explosive gas atmosphere and for locations with inflammable dust
for use in atmospheric conditions
