3-Channel Networked DC Current Sensor
The 3-Channel Networked DC Current Sensor from Fidar Electronics measures direct current in a circuit across a 0 to 5 A range. It runs standalone on its own IP address with a built-in web page.
0–5 A DC measuring range
Three independent input channels in one unit
Suited to solar arrays and battery banks
Fast response to current drops and surges
Own IP address and built-in web page
Powered by PoE or a 48 V adapter
DHCP or a static IP address
SNMP monitoring in PRTG and SolarWinds
A DC current sensor measures direct current in a circuit across a 0–5 A range. In solar arrays, battery banks and DC equipment, current is the clearest health signal there is: a drop in charge current, an abnormal draw or a leakage path all appear in the trend long before something fails. Logging that trend gives you both the early warning and the evidence for the post-mortem.
