Function & Order options
The DC monitor is a device designed for the measurement of DC voltage, converting the data into a format compatible with an Vutlan monitoring system. It allows for real-time remote monitoring of DC voltage levels in various applications, such as data centers, industrial automation, and renewable energy systems.
VT410 is an analog sensor plug-and-play sensor and can be connected to any analog port of Vutlan monitoring system.
The maximum amount of VT410 sensors connected to a Vutlan monitoring system and the maximum cable length can be extended using the "VT408 / Sensor extension unit".
Models
VT410 4V: measured voltage 0-4V
VT410 5V: measured voltage 0-5V
VT410 10V: measured voltage 0-10V
VT410 15V: measured voltage 0-15V
VT410 75V: measured voltage 0-75V, the better measurement for low voltages.
The sensor can not be used on its own. It must be used together with Vutlan monitoring systems.

Drawing
Installation
Only a 6P6C RJ12 cable can be used with the sensor! The cable is included with the sensor.
1. Connect one end of the shielded 6P6C RJ12 cable to any Vutlan monitoring unit's analog port A1-A8 and the other end to the VT410 / DC Voltage Monitor.
2. Connect "+" and "-" to the 2P terminal.
3. Insert the terminal into VT410.
Example 1 : measurement of battery voltage
Example 2: measurement of 48V electric circuit
Configuration
Once VT410 is connected to the analog ports of the Vutlan monitoring system, the monitoring system will automatically sense the current transducer as a sensor. It will appear in: "System tree" >> "Autodetect" >> (abbreviation from Voltage function, used for sensor monitors and converters)
Click on the sensor to open its properties. A modal window with sensor properties will pop up.
1. Change the name of the sensor, for example, "DC Voltage monitor 1".
2. Change the type of the sensor by choosing "Voltage". Choosing any type of sensor does not affect sensor properties, it only changes the sensor icon for the comfort of usage. For this example, the icon will be
3. Use "Expression formula": Each sensor has its own expression formula. It is printed on the case of the sensor. For example:
This current sensor has an expression formula equal to "14.993*(x-0.019)
4. Put in the threshold levels by dragging: Low alarm, Low warning, High warning, High alarm levels.
5. Click “Save” or “Apply” at the bottom of the “Properties” window. The page will reload. Save settings to flash by pressing on
