Overview

AMB200 is an online temperature monitoring device for insulated busway connectors. It draws power directly from busbars via built-in probes, monitoring A/B/C/N temperatures and humidity. Supports pre-alarm/alarm with configurable thresholds. RS485 or LoRa wireless communication. Probe spacing adjustable 10-18mm. Local digital display and infrared communication. Ideal for busway joint temperature monitoring in data centres, industrial plants, and switchgear.

FAQ

How is AMB200 powered? Does it need external power?

AMB200 is powered by builtin probes drawing power directly from busbars A, B, C, N (AC/DC 85~265V). No external power supply is needed.

What parameters can AMB200 monitor?

AMB200 monitors the temperature of phases A, B, C, N (20…200℃, accuracy ±2℃) and humidity inside the busway (20%~90% RH, accuracy ±5% RH) in real time.

Is the probe spacing adjustable? How to adjust?

Yes. There is a 5position switch on the back of the device, corresponding to 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, and 18mm. Set it to match the actual busbar spacing during installation.

What communication methods does AMB200 support?

AMB200 supports RS485 (ModbusRTU), optional LoRa wireless, and infrared communication. Choose according to site requirements.

How to set the prealarm and alarm thresholds?

Set via RS485 or LoRa communication by writing to address 0x0030 (temperature prealarm) and 0x0031 (temperature alarm), unit in ℃.

What if the display is abnormal or communication fails?

First check if the probes are securely connected to the busbars (device powered on), then verify that communication parameters (address, baud rate, parity) match. If the issue persists, try power cycling or contact technical support.

Summary

The AMB200 eliminates external power needs by drawing energy directly from busbars via adjustable probes. It provides real-time temperature and humidity data with configurable pre-alarm and alarm thresholds. Flexible communication options (RS485, LoRa, infrared) suit various system architectures. Local display and alarm logging facilitate on-site inspection. A practical solution for preventing busbar joint failures caused by overheating.
