Smart Sensor CSS 014 Measures
Temperature and Humidity
Condition monitoring is an essential
part of predictive maintenance. This
applies not only to enclosures and switch
cabinets in industrial plants, but also to
a large number of different applications
in which regulated processes take place.
STEGO's Smart Sensor CSS 014 measures
two important parameters - temperature
and humidity - and helps to maintain an
optimal climate.
Key Parameters: Temperature and
Humidity
Smart Sensor, Smart User
The CSS 014 Smart Sensor transmits
the data it acquires as a standardized
analog 4-20 mA signal. With this signal
users can further process and convert
the measured values within a control or
monitoring unit, e.g. a PLC.
Due to high measuring accuracy and
signal strength connection wires with a
maximum length of 30 m can be used.
Thus, scenarios beyond the classic control
cabinet application can be implemented.
In principle, any larger, spatially sealed

parameters within the switch cabinet
should always be under control. The
permanent measurement of temperature
and humidity in the switch cabinet is
an important element in preventing
condensation, which leads to corrosion
and thus failure of components.
And this is where STEGO's CSS 014 Smart
Sensor comes into play, combining three
functions in one compact device: a sensor,
interface and transmitter all in one. The
CSS 014 measures ambient temperatures
with high sensitivity within a range of
-40 to +60 °C while keeping a close eye
on the relative humidity range from 0 to
100% RH.
voltage is DC 24 V
(DC 12 - 30 V) with
a maximum power

W (typically 0.4 W).
Tested safety is
certified for the
Smart Sensor CSS 014 through successful
approvals with VDE and UL according
to the standard IEC 61010-1 / DIN EN
61010-1.
STEGO - Perfect Thermal Management
Since it was founded in 1980, STEGO has
Inner Values for Demanding Applications
The sensor unit of the CSS 014 is
thermally decoupled and encapsulated
with a circumferential seal. Rewards of
this effort: a high vibration resistance
and compliance with the IP20 degree
of protection. The protective lacquer-
coated board of the CSS 014 incorporates
microcontrollers, interface drivers and
EMC protection units in a heat-optimized
arrangement so that any influence on the
measured values due to waste heat is
ruled out.
A shielded M12 round plug ensures a
fast connection and safely transmits the
signals of the two measuring channels for
processing.
