Australian Switchgear Engineering firm NOJA Power have confirmed the launch of an optional Bluetooth Module for their RC Series Recloser Controls.

The Bluetooth capability was implemented to improve operator safety, offering a wireless method to securely interrogate Recloser Controls.

Operators can securely connect either the NOJA Power Remote HMI Mobile App or CMS Software package to the controller-mounted Bluetooth accessory, granting access to the local device to replicate the control features of the HMI.

Adding an air gap of safety for network operators introduces a degree of separation from high voltage assets. This feature is designed for hazardous areas, untoward weather and to provide added safety in areas of high copper/earthing cable theft.

“The Bluetooth module allows wireless connection to our complete range of controls using CMS but even more interestingly puts the power of our control panel screens on your mobile devices now as well with the release of the HMI App,” says NOJA Power Group Managing Director Neil O’Sullivan.

The Bluetooth module is compatible with the latest firmware version of NOJA Power’s RC series controls.
