Multi-point Fiber Optic Fluorescence Temperature Sensor IF-C216 16-Channel EMI-Resistant RS485 SCADA Compatible Transformer & Switchgear Monitoring System

Product Introduction

The IF-C216 multi-point fiber optic fluorescence temperature sensor is a complete 16-channel temperature monitoring system specifically designed for high-voltage power equipment such as transformers and switchgear. The system employs advanced fluorescence thermometry technology, measuring the relationship between fluorescence decay time and temperature to achieve high-precision, highly reliable temperature measurement. Each sensor probe connects via an independent optical fiber, ensuring measurement points remain isolated from one another, providing more accurate temperature distribution data.

This system is completely insulated, non-conductive, and immune to magnetic interference, making it particularly suitable for temperature monitoring applications in strong electromagnetic environments. Through standard RS485 interface and MODBUS-RTU protocol, the system easily integrates into existing SCADA systems, enabling remote data acquisition and equipment status monitoring.
