FAQ

What functions are standard on ASD500?

ASD500 comes standard with mimic diagram, HV live display & phase check, one electromagnetic lock, wireless temperature (up to 12 points), power measurement (class 0.5), temp/humidity control (3 sensors, 3 heating, 1 fan), voice prompts, human body induction, trip/close supervision & voltage measurement, dual RS485, Ethernet, two 4-20mA outputs, and IRIG-B time sync. Partial discharge monitoring is optional.

How is partial discharge monitoring implemented?

An external APD300-L triple-in-one wired PD sensor (magnetic mount) is required, connected to the second RS485 port of ASD500. ASD500 displays AE, TEV, UHF amplitude, frequency, average, and environmental parameters, with configurable alarms.

How are wireless temperature sensors powered?

Battery-powered ATE200 (life ≥5 years) or CT-powered ATE400 (life ≥10 years, starting current ≥5A) can be used.

What communication protocols does ASD500 support?

RS485 ports use Modbus-RTU, Ethernet port uses Modbus-TCP. The two RS485 ports can be configured independently.

How many temperature/humidity sensors does ASD500 support?

Up to three sensors (WH3 configuration), each with 4m cable. They control three heating outputs and one fan output.

What are the main differences between ASD500 and ASD300?

ASD500 adds a third temp/humidity control channel, dual RS485, Ethernet, two 4-20mA outputs, IRIG-B time sync, and optional PD monitoring, offering more comprehensive functionality for demanding smart substation and industrial distribution applications.

Summary

ASD500 unifies electrical measurement, temperature monitoring, partial discharge detection, and advanced connectivity in one device. Class 0.5 power metering, wireless temperature, and optional PD provide complete asset insight. Dual RS485, Ethernet, and IRIG-B enable seamless integration. It maximizes uptime, enhances safety, and enables predictive maintenance.
