Description
The EGE Elektronik LC 521/1 GA-Ex22 is the authoritative solution for monitoring gaseous flow in facilities where combustible dust creates a localized explosion risk. Certified to ATEX Category 3D, this sensor is engineered for Zone 22 applications, providing a safe monitoring point for silos, dust extraction headers, and pneumatic conveying lines without the need for additional intrinsically safe barriers. The defining feature of the LC 521/1 is its extended probe length. This design is essential for reaching the core air stream in ducts that have thick thermal insulation or double-walled construction. Because it utilizes the calorimetric (thermal) sensing principle, the sensor is completely solid-state. This is a critical advantage in dusty environments; unlike mechanical vanes or paddles, the LC 521/1 cannot be jammed or clogged by airborne particulates.
