Ronds’ RH505 sensor has gained ATEX certification for use in hazardous areas.

ATEX – the name commonly given to the two European directives for controlling explosive atmospheres – details how a device is protected from causing an explosion in explosive atmospheres.

Classed for zone 1 and zone 2 hazardous areas, this enables the RH505 sensor to be installed in any harsh environment that requires this level or less.

The sensor monitors vibration and temperature levels on rotating machinery (fans, pumps, compressors, etc.) and transmits the data via a wireless gateway to a dedicated server using Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 3G/4G connection.

The solution is scalable, easy to install and can send an email or text alert when alarm thresholds are triggered.
