Digital climate sensor KS-17: Protection of sensitive electrical devices through climate monitoring

Embedded systems allow for optimised performance in increasingly complex control cabinets, server rooms and other electrical installations. In order to avoid corrosion of electrical components, overheating, leakage currents and even short circuits, it is crucial to maintain the best possible climatic conditions in these kinds of systems.

Adapted temperature and humidity conditions ensure increased safety and extend the service life of devices and components. This can significantly reduce service efforts, breakdowns and repair costs for companies.

Product innovation: digital climate Sensor KS-17

With our new digital climate sensor KS-17, we offer a small, compact climate sensor for simultaneous measurement of temperature and relative humidity that is ideally tailored for OEM customers, allowing direct connection to a microcontroller via I²C bus.

With its integrated mounting bracket, the climate sensor KS-17 is designed for use in control cabinets and, thanks to its small housing dimensions of only 45 x 23 x 30 mm, it can easily be positioned in the exact locations where the measurement of climatic conditions is needed the most.

In addition to the advantageous design, this sensor is characterised by its high precision. Low deviations of only ±2% rH and ±0.3°C T show the extraordinary measuring accuracy. As a result, precise dew point control is guaranteed with the help of our flexibly applicable climate sensor KS-17.
