Grace Technologies is pleased to announce the GraceSense™ Hot Spot Monitor (HSM); a continuous thermal monitoring device intended for locations that are difficult and hazardous to access. The HSM utilizes patented fiber optic technology to provide constant temperature data from up to nine or eighteen independent sources (depending on the HSM model). The non-conductive fiber optical probes can be mounted onto busbars, splices, disconnects, cable connections, or any source of resistive heat.
