411 Fungi Species Face Extinction Worldwide: IUCN

411 Fungi Species Face Extinction Worldwide: IUCN

There are now more than 1,000 fungi species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Red List of Threatened Species. Deforestation, urban development and agricultural expansion are driving their global decline. There are currently 169,420 species on the Red List, 47,187 of which face extinction, a press release from IUCN said. Recently added […]

Slentech DZK humidity and temperature transmitter

Slentech DZK humidity and temperature transmitter

The Slentech DZK transmitter has a modular design with high accuracy that is easy to install. The probe and transmitter can be used in any combination, making them suitable for multiple installation situations and applications.

The plug-in probes provide quick and easy exchange with no interruption in the measuring process. Only a single screw is required to close it securely.

The integrated HX processor uses the values for relative humidity and temperature to calculate the dew point, enthalpy, mixing ratio, absolute humidity or wet bulb temperature. Depending on customer preferences, any two of these values can be captured at two analog outputs using standardised signals.

The output variables can be freely configured via the USB port. The transmitter is automatically registered in Windows via the USB cable after connecting to the PC. No drivers are required.

The physical measuring values and analog output scaling can be changed based on the measured sizes of relative humidity and temperature. All temperature values can be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The sensor is powered via USB for configuration — no power supply unit is required.

A typical application of the DZK series sensor can be for use in a smokehouse, where the sensor features a replaceable probe, making maintenance easy for all staff.

The probe withstands temperatures of up to 125°C, offers IP65 protection with a PTFE-coated filter, is washdown-resistant and includes a 25 m cable for extended reach.
