Advanced Energy - Model Luxtron m924 -Utility Module
OEM Board for Fiber Optic Transformer Winding Hot Spot and Temperature Monitoring. Advanced Energy`s Luxtron m924 utility module is a cost-effective OEM board that provides temperature monitoring with RS485 Modbus and RS232 ASCII digital communication. Four channels, expandable up to 64. Direct, accurate, and real-time transformer winding hot spot and temperature monitoring. Backward compatible with Luxtron DipTip and quality probes for utility applications.
The Luxtron® m924 utility module is one board that contains four fiber optic temperature sensing channels, RS232 ASCII and RS485 Modbus digital outputs, and 5 to 24 VDC power input connection. The m924 board conditions the measurement signal from Fluoroptic® probes and reports to the OEM control system. The custom non-metallic probe sensors are safe in harsh environments and connect to the m924 board via robust fiber optics.
The m924 is a guaranteed backward compatible module when using Luxtron Fiber Optic DipTip and quality probes, extension cables, and tank wall plates.
