- Adjustable relative humidity
- Change-over contact
- High switching capacity
- Easily accessible terminals
- Clip fixing
The electromechanical hygrostat is designed to control enclosure heaters so that the dew point is raised when a critical relative humidity of 65% is exceeded. In this way condensation and corrosion in enclosures with electric/electronic components is effectively prevented.
