Electronic Digital Thermometer - SIKA - #2

...is already available now from SIKA. The new SolarTemp and DiTemp series offers remarkab­le new features and performance characteristics for lo­cal indication of temperature. For the first time, consistent accuracy and freedom from maintenance for the entire lifespan of the product is thus combined in one instrument.

Mechanical 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 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
