- Modbus RTU RS-485 hardware versions available for specific sensors enabling direct integration with your own gateway & controllers.
- for other sensors, integrates over RS-485 is available using the optional Modbus RTU module.
- Gas and Thermal Imaging sensors require the optional BASE-FW-SSLS firmware addon to operate.
Partial discharges (PD)
for medium voltage switchgears
The corona discharge is one of the main causes of medium voltage (MV) switchgear equipment failure, ageing and losses in a stable power system supply. It often goes undetected until the next manual inspection.
Next to inspections, companies today rely on electromagnetic and ultrasonic methods to detect PD. Those solutions suffer from interference and high costs.
Less known is that partial discharges resulting from the Corona effect, generate ozone gas. By digitally monitoring ozone gas levels in MV switchgear, PD events can be detected and alerts can be generated to maintenance staff for immediate inspection.

calibration & bump testing
Prior to shipping every gas sensor is manually tested in our lab against calibrated gas.
For bump testing we offer the optional SPARE-GAS-BUMP adapter which is mounted on to the sensor. It enables you to self test the sensor at intervals to ensure its operation within your own safety & operational requirements. Do note that each bump test impacts the sensor life span and accuracy. Incorrect bump testing may permanently damage the sensor.

modular architecture
A modular architecture enabling you to integrate it with your on-premises monitoring systems using IP based industrial protocols like Modbus TCP and SNMP. Optional add-on to connect sensor data to a Modbus RTU controller. With our optional and special firmware the base unit can connect to a MQTT provider of your choice.
With the output controls of the SensorHub, the system can on its own take corrective actions when threshold levels have been detected. For example you can start a fan as soon as a specific is detected.

No PC or Software Required
The InfraSensing sensors connect to the base unit (BASE-WIRED). The base unit is a standalone device that has its own IP address in your network. On its own it will monitor the sensor and trigger alerts via email, SNMP or optional SMS when needed.
There is no software or PC required for the sensors to run.
With our optional Monitoring Software you can centrally monitor sensors with trending and more. This is optional and not required.
Wired or Wireless
By default all sensors are connected to the SensorGateway (BASE-WIRED) using a CAT6 or higher RJ45 cable.
Using the optional Wireless Hub & Node modules, any sensor can be turned into a wireless sensor.

Customize your sensor: color / enclosure / logo
custom color & logo
Not a fan of orange? Want the sensors to match the color of your mission critical infrastructure equipment? Want to reflect your corporate color? Want to feature your own logo?
custom enclosure
Need the sensors in a custom enclosure to fit your application? Together with our partners, we can help to design special enclosures to meet your requirements.
RS485 (Modbus RTU) version
Looking to integrate this sensor with your own gateway or control system?
This now possible with the RS-485 version of this product. It has the same specs as the normal sensor with following differences:
- RS485 Modbus RTU output
- individually addressable using dial switch
- 256 addresses available
- 12-24v DC input
