Smart Sensor for Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring is an essential connection wires with a maximum

parameters within the switch cabinet
should always be under control. The
permanent measurement of temperature
and humidity in the switch cabinet is
an important element in preventing
condensation, which leads to corrosion
and thus failure of components. And
this is where STEGO's CSS 014 Smart
Sensor comes into play, combining three
functions in one compact device: a sensor,
interface and transmitter all in one. The
CSS 014 measures ambient temperatures
with high sensitivity within a range of
-40 to +60 °C while keeping a close eye
on the relative humidity range from 0 to
100% RH.
Smart Sensor, Smart User
The CSS 014 Smart Sensor transmits
the data it acquires as a standardized
analog 4-20 mA signal. With the signal,
users can further process and convert
the measured values within a control or
monitoring unit, e.g. a PLC. Due to high
measuring accuracy and signal strength

The protective lacquer-coated
board of the CSS 014 incorporates
microcontrollers, interface drivers and
EMC protection units in a heat-optimized
arrangement so that any influence on the
measured values due to waste heat is
ruled out.
A shielded M12 round plug ensures a
