EGE Elektronik Air Flow Sensor Productseries LC 518

EGE Elektronik Air Flow Sensor Productseries LC 518

The LC 518 series consists of compact, M18-threaded air flow monitors with integrated amplifiers. Designed for hazardous locations, these sensors provide reliable monitoring of air velocities between 0.5 and 20 m/s in supply and exhaust lines.

Description

The EGE LC 518 series is divided into two primary models: the LC 518 GA (analog output) and the LC 518 GSP (switching output). Both models are housed in durable AISI 316 Ti stainless steel and feature a ceramic sensing surface, making them resistant to corrosion and harsh industrial environments.

Because these sensors use the thermal dispersion principle, they are virtually maintenance-free and unaffected by dust or moisture that would typically clog mechanical impellers. They are designed for easy integration, with a built-in potentiometer for on-site adjustment and a multi-color LED display that provides immediate visual feedback on the flow status.
