4 First Steps
4.1 Introducing the Nortech EasyGrid
The EasyGrid fiber optic temperature measurement system is designed for real-time monitoring of
transformer hotspots.
It can be configured to have 4 to 18 channels. Modules can be daisy chained to a maximum of 32, which
gives the possibility to have up to 576 channels in a single system. Each unit has multiple serial
interfaces (1 x USB and 1 x RS485) and 1x optional Ethernet communication port. Supported
communication protocols are Nortech and MODBUS (RTU and ASCII). Optional supported
communication protocols are IEC-61850, IEC-60870-5-104, DNP3 and TCPIP-MODBUS, either through an
RJ45 output or an ST optical output.
4.2 Quick Start
4.2.1 Powering the EasyGrid

additional visual aid.
