EGE Elektronik Sensor Air Flow Sensors Productseries LN 520 GA

The EGE Elektronik LN 520 GA is the authoritative choice for engineers who require quantitative airflow data but are limited by installation space.

Description

The EGE Elektronik LN 520 GA is the authoritative choice for engineers who require quantitative airflow data but are limited by installation space. Unlike “GSP” switching models, the “GA” designation identifies this unit as an analog transmitter. It converts detected air velocity into a standardized 4-20 mA signal, allowing for sophisticated integration into PLCs for Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control, energy usage logging, and precise process regulation.
