The TLV iT5-ZB-SUN is a wireless sensor designed for monitoring a large quantity of crucial steam-using equipment such as heat exchangers, presses and turbines, equipment in difficult-to-reach locations, or steam traps via TLV's IEEE 802.15.4-based protocol. It provides surface temperature and ultrasonic measurement capabilities.

Features

• Suitable for monitoring many devices: up to 8000 sensors can be connected to one data station.
• Measurement cycles configurable between 5 minutes and 24 hours.
• Low power consuming device powered by a long-life battery pack.
• Surface temperature measurement up to 400 °C.
• Intrinsically safe construction for use in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.

INFO

Steam trap diagnostic software is required separately. Contact TLV for details. Patented.
