Produktinformation
The P18/P18L is ideal for monitoring temperature and humidity in production environments. Choose either 2 x 4-20mA output or RS485 Modbus RTU output.
Key points:
- Wide range suits most industries
- Analogue or serial outputs
- Choice of filters for the sensor
- Rugged, reliable, smart.
The LEL18 transducer is for the continuous measurement and conversion of relative humidity and ambient temperature into a digital or analogue voltage or current standard signal. The transducer may be programmed and calibrated through the RS-485 interface.
Sensor shields allow the transducer to operate in various ambient conditions, dusty, dry, corrosive, etc. The transducer is designed to be mounted on a wall.
Applikationer
- calculation of selected physical quantities, (dew-point temperature, absolute humidity)
- conversion of measured quantities into a linear output signal
- memory of maximum and minimum values for each value
- programming of the measurement averaging time
- servicing of RS-485 interface in MODBUS RTU mode.
