OMC-408 Ex Temperature and humidity Transmitter

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The OMC-408 Ex Temperature and Humidity Transmitter is designed for use in hazardous areas within the petrochemical industry, including offshore platforms. It is an advanced version of the OMC-406 sensor, providing safe and accurate measurements in explosive atmospheres.

Specifications
The OMC-408 consists of a probe and transmitter, suitable for Zone 0/20 and Zone 1/21 or 2/22 environments. It features explosion protection classes for both gas and dust, with a stainless steel probe that is interchangeable and intrinsically safe. The transmitter operates as a loop-powered device with a 4-20 mA output and is housed in an IP66 protection grade casing.

Features
  • Explosion protection classes: Transmitter (II 2(1) G Ex eb mb [ia Ga] IIC T5 Gb, II 2(1) D Ex tb [ia Da] IIIC T80°C Db) and Probe (Ex II 1/2 G Ex ia IIC T5-T4 Ga/Gb, Ex II 1/2 D Ex ia IIIC T80 °C…110 °C Da/Db).
  • Suitable for offshore environments.
  • Standard cable length of 2m, with options for 5m or 10m.
  • ATEX Directives compliance: 2014/34/EU(ATEX)CSA22.2, UL 508.

Performance
Humidity Measurement: Range from 0 to 100% RH with an accuracy of ±0.8% RH at 5°C.
Temperature Measurement: Range from -40 to +60°C with an accuracy of ±0.1°C at 5°C. Both measurements use a linear output of 4-20 mA, loop powered, 2-wire, 10-28 VDC.

OMC-408 Ex Temperature and humidity Transmitter-2

General The OMC-408 is a dual-channel meter for precise humidity and temperature measurement in an explosive atmosphere, where an ex classification is required. lt consists of a probe and transmitter. The connected sensor is encapsulated in a stainless steel sensor tube and is designed for use in Zone 0/20. The transmitter itself is only designed for use in Zone 1/21 or Zone 2/22. The transmission signal is composed of two two-channel current loop interfaces, where the signal is formed in an accurate flow of each 4 to 20 mA. Between the measurement circuit on the secondary side and the primary...
