Globe Temperature
WBGT heat stress sensor.
The Globe Temperature sensor monitors WBGT wet bulb globe temperature to inform workers of dangerous heat stress levels. It monitors thermal work limit, heat stress Index, humidex values, ambient air temperature, humidity, pressure, air density and dew point values.
- Accurate wet bulb globe temperature readings indoors and outdoors
- The IP65 enclosure is rated to withstand tough environments
- Precision WBGT sensor with sensitive 6" copper globe
- Connects to other devices on the network with Modbus RTU
Features

Heat Stress Monitoring
Harsh mining environments have the potential to expose workers to extreme heat that could result in occupational injuries or illness. Heat stress is dangerous and it’s important for companies to follow health and safety guidelines to keep workers safe. Accutron’s Globe Temperature Sensor accurately monitors WBGT and heat stress so that the proper actions can be taken. When connected to the Accutron Pro Series, the Globe Temperature sensor can inform a ventilation on demand system that air velocity should be increased to cool down the area.
Keeping Workers Safe
When workers are exposed to hot environments, this can be both unproductive and unhealthy. When working in mines, temperatures can become quite hot. Exposure to hot and humid environments puts workers at risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. It is important to monitor these conditions to ensure workers remain safe. The chart shows the humidex rating based on temperature and relative humidity.
