LIOS EN.SURE is based on state of the art distributed temperature sensing (DTS) monitoring systems customised for the electrical T&D industry. One single EN.SURE evaluation unit provides fast temperature sensing profiles with high spatial resolution along the optical fibres route with monitoring ranges up to 40km per channel.
The LIOS‘ DTS technology has been successfully proven in critical applications like fire detection in road and rail tunnels and special hazard buildings, power cable and aerial transmission line monitoring, in oil & gas exploration for permanent downhole monitoring and for industrial induction furnaces surveillance, where these systems have been equipped in world-wide projects with more than 2500 permanent installations.
Most of these applications are safety relevant and require high reliability and uptime of the sensor system. The EN.SURE DTS product series was carefully designed and thoroughly tested targeting reliable performance and smooth operation in industrial environments. Excellent Mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) of 28 years was reached based on the latest statistical field analysis of the current DTS product series.
