Wireless temperature and humidity sensor

Banner Engineering has introduced the SureCross temperature and humidity sensor, optimised for use with the company’s SureCross wireless network. This sensor is factory-calibrated to determine relative humidity to ±2 or ±3.5% (depending on the model) and delivers temperature accuracy to ±0.3°C for simple critical data monitoring. Manufactured with a rugged metal housing and IP67 electronics, it provides maintenance-free operation in a wide variety of environmental monitoring applications.

Banner designed a proprietary serial sensor interface that enables the temperature and humidity sensor and the wireless node to operate on a FlexPower battery supply for up to 20 years. Fixed and remote-mount node and sensor models enable a wide range of installation scenarios, including in-duct and freestanding applications. For remotely-mounted sensors, cables in lengths up to 3 m are available. A hydrophobic membrane filter for general applications and a sintered stainless steel filter for hostile drying areas are available to meet the requirements of the most demanding environments, including large-scale refrigeration and cold chain storage systems, greenhouses, warehouse areas, pharmaceutical applications, HVAC and textiles, as well as energy management applications and in environmental monitoring for IT resources and data centres.

The sensor can be paired with a node that includes an integral battery supply or an external power source, including battery, solar or 10-30 VDC. With an external power supply, two temperature and humidity sensors can be used with a single wireless node. Each node is equipped with an LCD and data is displayed in °C or °F and relative humidity is in a percentage from 0-100.
