Wet sink - The load is energized ("ON") as long as the sensor tip is immersed in fluid.Dry sink - The load is energized as long as the sensor tip is dry (i.e. not immersed in fluid).
What does it mean to be "Intrinsically Safe?"
The term "intrinsically safe" refers to equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most easily ignited concentration.
What is an IoT sensor?
A sensor in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) is a device that detects and measures physical parameters from its environment, such as temperature, humidity, motion, or light, and converts them into signals that can be processed, transmitted, or stored.
What is a pressure sensor/pressure transmitter?
A pressure sensor converts the pressureinto a proportional electrical signal (usually 4-20 mA, 0-10 V or digital fieldbus).
What is a pressure switch?
A pressure switch is basically an electrical switch that turns on or off at a preset pressure level. When the thresholdis reached, an internal micro- or macro‐mechanical element (diaphragm, bellows or piezo‐kit) is activated that closes or opens a contact.
