DTS: UTS-BB1000 UTS-nerVision

UTS-BB1000 equipment is a distributed
temperature and/or strain sensor (DTSS) used for
power cable monitoring applications. It is typically
deployed for secure operation of HVDC and HVAC
at the highest ampacity level, being able to detect
early faults and hot-spots at extremely long
distances.
DAS: UTS-AS1000
UTS-AS1000 equipment is a distributed acoustic
sensor (DAS) used for third party intrusion and
anomalies detection at power cables.
The UTS-nerVision is a software platform
developed by UPTECH SENSING.
Designed to easily set any parameter of
the DFOS solution, the UTS-nerVision
helps the operator of the system to:
Configuration of sensor
Setting an unattended
measurement system (schedule)
Specify threshold levels for the
alarm management system
Remote connection
Database with export tools to save
data to external files with different
formats
API for designing your algorithms
Interoperability with SCADA or
similar using MODBUS over TCP/IP
