Electronic Hygrostat
EFL 012

  • Large setting range
  • Compact design
  • Small hysteresis
  • Optical function display
  • Signal application

The electronic hygrostat is used for controlling heating and cooling equipment, filter fans or signal devices through the Relay DCM 010 or a similar device. The hygrostat registers the surrounding relative humidity and can switch a signal current via an internal relay with a potential free change-over contact. The LED integrated in the adjustment knob shows the closed status of the contact 1-2. When relative humidity drops contact 1-2 opens and the LED turns off. In currentless state (no supply voltage) contact 1-2 opens.
