For the first time, consistent accuracy and freedom from maintenance for the entire lifespan of the product is thus combined in one instrument. | | Mechanical industrial thermometers for local indication of temperature are already available for the industrial sector. But although they manage without an external power supply, they have only an analogue display. These are filled with mercury or gas or supplied in the form of bimetal dial thermometers. The extremely low energy consumption of electronic digital thermometers from SIKA makes them a completely new kind of instrument. The SolarTemp uses a solar cell integrated into the display module as energy source and the instrument works reliably in artificial light levels of 50 lux or more. Since the statutory minimum light level for industrial operations is 100 lux, the SIKA SolarTemp can be used practically anywhere. The DiTemp has a lithium battery as energy source that has a service life of around 10 years. These instruments function without measuring liquids such as mercury, which also poses a risk to the health, so potential environmental pollution is effectively removed both during production and at disposal. Remote-working thermometers are also available. These are considerably easier to install since routing a flexible industrial electrical cable presents few problems compared to a rigid capillary tube. The sensor is connected to the display unit by a plug connector. A front pane of hardened glass with FDA approval is available for food applications. | | |
| | | No maintenance whatsoever required over the lifespan of the product through the use of a photovoltaic cell (for artificial light from 50 lux) or a lithium battery (service life approx. 10 years) Because these instruments do not have a mechanical measuring mechanism, they are extremely vibration-proof and wear-free Optionally available with analogue output or freely programmable switching contacts The integrated transducer saves space as well as acquisition and installation costs Easy to read display, both analogue and digital Intrinsically safe to RL 94/9/EG (ATEX) for zone 1/21 | | |
