The EE046 condensation monitor helps to prevent condensation on critical cold spots. With the help of its relative humidity (RH) sensing element, it reliably detects the danger of condensation just before it occurs. Condensation on a surface occurs when the relative humidity of the air close to the surface reaches 100 %RH. Because of the very good thermal coupling with the surface, the EE046 measures the RH of the air directly at surface temperature. Its properties make it the ideal choice for applications where control guards are required to prevent dripping or mould. The relay output provides an early warning before condensation actually happens. It also indicates a power supply failure or a broken cable. A status LED indicates normal operation, alarm or power supply failure.The E+E proprietary coating protects the humidity sensor against dust and dirt.
