It measures the temperature of surfaces in hazardous areas without contact and provides a direct 4-20 mA output. It is certified to ATEX, IECEX and TIIS standards. The OSAT is a small and compact low cost option for temperature measurement in hazardous locations. It uses intrinsic safety as the method of protection, whereas explosion proof pyrometers typically have bulky and expensive housings.
