Description
Presentation
HeatTag smart sensor:
• Sends three levels of alert depending on the severity of the situation it detects.
• Helps prevent potential fire damages by analyzing gas and micro-particles emitted by cable sheaths
when overheating.
• Measures temperature and humidity.
• Communicates with all Schneider Electric EcoStruxure panel servers or gateways.
• Is integrated in EcoStruxure solutions.
The HeatTag sensor must be installed only in non-forced air ventilated switchboards.
It must be mounted on a DIN rail.
During the first 30 minutes after commissioning, HeatTag can generate an alert for test. It then takes another 8 hours for HeatTag to define its nominal environment and to be fully operational. Each time the HeatTag sensor is powered on, these 30-minute and 8-hour sequences are repeated.
Operation
Paired with Schneider Electric panel servers or gateways, HeatTag reports:
• Alerts
• Air quality index
• Temperature and humidity measurement
• Self-diagnosis information
Air Quality
HeatTag provides an air quality index, ranging from 0 to 10, and displays the air quality evolution trend in a table. When the air quality index is equal or above 10, HeatTag sends an alert. It has detected abnormal cable sheath heating in the switchboard.
Detection Alert
An alert is triggered when HeatTag detects abnormal cable sheath heating in the switchboard, which can be caused by:
• One or more loose connections (too high contact resistance)
• An incorrectly sized cable compared to the rated current
• Overload not detected by the protective equipment
Alerts are triggered with three severity levels:
• Low level: a cable is slowly overheating in the installation, you must plan a maintenance visit of the installation.
• Medium level: a cable is overheating in the installation, you must go quickly to the installation for maintenance.
• High level: a cable overheats very quickly, you must check the installation immediately.
The orange application led flashes when HeatTag sends an alert to the panel servers or gateways.
Temperature
HeatTag provides a temperature value with a 60 second default transmission period. The transmission period can be increased by the system in case of high wireless data traffic.
Humidity
HeatTag provides a humidity rate with a 60 second default transmission period. The transmission period can be increased by the system in case of high wireless data traffic.
Self-Diagnosis
HeatTag carries out two types of diagnosis:
• A minor alert is sent when the fan rpm is 80% of its nominal rpm, which means fan clogging.
• A major alert is sent when HeatTag is faulty. In this case it cannot report measures at all, nor reports incorrect measures.
