Technical FAQ

What is DTS?
 DTS stands for Distributed Temperature Sensing. It is a monitoring solution that helps track temperature conditions along busway systems to support system visibility and maintenance planning.
Where can DTS be used?
DTS can be used in data centers, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and other environments where busway temperature monitoring is important for reliability and operational visibility.
Why is temperature monitoring important for busway systems?
Temperature monitoring can help facility teams identify abnormal heat conditions, improve awareness of system performance, and support proactive maintenance before issues become more serious. 
Does DTS replace regular maintenance?
No. DTS can support monitoring and maintenance planning, but it does not replace required inspections, qualified maintenance procedures, or site safety practices.
