Abstract
A temperature sensor device for a power distribution panel includes a Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface, a DC-to-DC step down converter, at least one infrared temperature sensor array, a microcontroller and a communication interface. The PoE interface is used to obtain a required power supply from the Ethernet network. The DC-to-DC step down converter steps down the power supply from a first voltage to a second voltage. The infrared temperature sensor array receives infrared rays radiated from a monitored area of the power distribution panel and generates a corresponding sensation signal. The microcontroller receives the sensation signal and generates an alert signal when the sensed temperature of the monitored area exceeds a preset threshold. The threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to time of day or day of months. The communication interface enables the communication between an external electronic device and the temperature sensor device for the power distribution panel.
