Honeywell Sensing and Control has announced that it has launched a wide range of industrial sensors and switches at Electronica 2012. This includes Honeywell HumidIcon sensors, which combine both temperature and humidity sensing into one package. The company also launched its new line of basic pressure sensors with a variety of sensitivity, reliability, and packaging variations, and new high-sensitivity Hall-effect bi-polar latch sensors used to provide the industry's highest levels of accuracy for brushless DC motors.
Honeywell's HumidIcon digital humidity and temperature sensors offer high accuracy, stability, energy efficiency, and low cost. The IC offers a digital output corresponding to relative humidity and temperature. This new product is designed for potential use in respiratory therapy, medical incubators, medical microenvironment applications, and HVAC-refrigeration. Honeywell HumidIcon digital humidity and temperature sensors have a total error band that provides the sensor's true accuracy of ±5% RH over a compensated temperature range of 5 to 50 °C (41 to 122 °F) and 10% to 90% RH. The total error band includes all sensor error sources and effectively eliminates individual sensor testing and calibration, supports system accuracy and warranty requirements, helps to optimize system uptime, and provides excellent sensor interchangeability.
Honeywell's newest offering in its board mount pressure sensor product portfolio, the new Basic Board Mount pressure sensors are cost-effective and provide high-quality, high resolution basic unamplified uncompensated performance with a mV output for customers seeking high-volume, economical board-mount pressure sensors. Honeywell's NBP Series is well suited for customers who want to do their own compensation, calibration, and amplification to make use of the maximum resolution of the bare sensor output, leveraging a custom algorithm required for their application. The NBP Series can be used in a wide range of applications, including pressure monitoring for wound therapy machines, hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, and blood pressure monitors. Potential industrial applications include HVAC transmitters, air movement control, environmental control, level indicators, leak detection, and industrial control. Honeywell Sensors deeplink
