Condition monitoring systems for surge protection devices
Surge protection increases the productivity of your systems and prevents downtimes. Machines and systems are monitored almost permanently, but surge protection is assumed to be functioning.
However, unforeseeable high lightning surge currents can lead to energetic overloading of the surge protection devices. In such a case, it may no longer be possible to fulfill their relevant function.
Besides test logging, the arrester testing device, "CHECKMASTER", also provides an option to identify any predamage to the surge protection devices from Phoenix Contact by checking the electrical properties of the components used. You can thus identify a failure of the surge protection devices at an early stage and replace them.
Phoenix Contact has still more to offer. Thanks to the innovative wireless technologies, cables have now become redundant. You can now monitor your surge protection devices with the help of Trusted Wireless or Bluetooth or can receive information about the status of your devices through a GSM modem by SMS on the mobile phone.
Transmission paths
The following transmission paths can be implemented:
- Analog (modem)
- Ethernet
- Wireless (Trusted or Bluetooth)
- GSM (through modem or Interbus Inline Controller)
- .
Increase the efficiency and safety of your systems and operate all the required components right from surge protection devices down to appropriate controllers in one go!
