Abstract

See full text

A system and method are disclosed for alerting safety personnel of unsafe air temperature conditions. The system includes a temperature sensor formed to be exposed to an ambient environment and operable to provide a signal representing a measured ambient temperature. The system also includes electronics formed to be attached within protection provided by safety equipment. The electronics are coupled to receive the signal from the temperature sensor. The electronics are then operable to process the signal, to detect an unsafe temperature condition and to provide an indicator signal responsive to the unsafe temperature condition. The system further includes an indicator coupled to receive the indicator signal from the electronics. The indicator then responds to the indicator signal by providing a visible indication of the unsafe temperature condition. In certain implementations, the unsafe temperature condition can comprise the measured ambient temperature being above a temperature set point or being above a specified temperature for a specified period of time. Further, the temperature sensor can be coupled to the electronics by a through-screw sensor assembly.
