A. Product overview
The FLP / Explosion-Proof Temperature & Humidity Transmitter with Display is built for continuous relative humidity (RH) and temperature monitoring in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. It measures 0–100% RH and 0–100°C and provides a standard 4–20 mA output for integration with PLC, DCS/SCADA, and building automation systems. The unit operates on 10–30 VDC and is designed for safe, reliable performance with full isolation between the power supply, measuring circuit, and output stage. Housed in a rugged IP65 flameproof (FLP) enclosure with a clear local display, it is suitable for refineries, chemical plants, gas skids, and solvent or flammable storage areas.
B. Working principle
Sensing: Internal sensing elements continuously measure ambient humidity and temperature in the surrounding air.
Signal processing: The electronics condition, linearize, and scale the sensor signals to provide stable readings across the measurement ranges.
Electrical isolation: The power input, measuring circuitry, and 4–20 mA output are electrically isolated to improve safety, reduce interference, and protect connected control systems in industrial environments.
Output conversion: The measured RH/temperature values are converted into a 4–20 mA signal for monitoring, alarms, and control actions in automation systems.
Local indication: The built-in display shows RH and temperature on-site for quick verification during commissioning and maintenance.
