3-Channel AC Voltage Detector

The 3-Channel AC Voltage Detector from Fidar Electronics reports whether an AC line up to 220 V is live and timestamps every loss and restore. It connects to a FIDAQUIRE data logger over a daisy-chained CANopen bus.

  • Detects AC voltage presence up to 220 V
  • Three independent input channels in one unit
  • Immediate power-failure alert with a timestamp
  • A definite two-state answer, no value to interpret
  • RJ45 output on a CANopen bus
  • Daisy-chains up to 64 sensors per card
  • Works with the FBC0232-01 card and FIDAQUIRE logger
  • Up to 500 m of bus at 125 kbit/s

An AC voltage detector reports whether a line is live. Unlike a level sensor that returns a number, it gives a definite two-state answer, which is exactly what the job needs: mains-failure alerts, proving a transfer to generator or UPS, and confirming that critical circuits are energised. Every transition is timestamped, so the outage duration stays in the record instead of relying on someone's memory.
