Q: Can the HSM send an alarm alert to a cell phone?

A: The Hot Spot Monitor (HSM) itself does not have the capability to send text messages or alerts directly. However, when integrated with a SCADA, DCS, or HMI system via Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, or RS-485 Modbus RTU, those systems can be configured to trigger alerts—including emails or text messages—based on the temperature data received from the HSM.
