Extensions

VT7670 LTE slot modem

Allows to receive and send SMS notifications (2G, 3G). Provides Ethernet reservation over LTE (4G).

Extension slot

VT485r Reader extension

Allows to connect readers, and keypads with OSDP protocol support.

or

VT485m Modbus extension

Allows to monitor up to 32 Modbus RTU devices/meters/sensors.

Battery slot

VT-ACCU Rechargeable backup battery

Keeps the device operational while the main power source drops.The device uses two 3.7V rechargeable lithium batteries 14500. If the main power input voltage drops, the unit will work from VT-ACCU rechargeable batteries until the batteries are discharged.

or

VT-BAT Backup battery 9V

Keeps the device operational while the main power source is disabled. The device uses a non-rechargeable 6F22 9V lithium battery.

Built-in web interface

All Vutlan monitoring devices have a built-in multilingual web interface for monitoring and managing the device.

Here you can configure notifications and alerts, logic schemes, user access rights, sensors and elements.

You can also view sensor graphs, logs and camera images.

Add more analog sensors using VT408 extension unit.

Each VT408 extension unit connected to the Vutlan monitoring device via the CAN bus adds the ability to connect 8 analog sensors to the system.

Sensors connected to the unit are automatically displayed in the system.

Add more Dry contacts using VT440

The VT440 / Dry Contacts extension unit increases the number of Dry contacts that can be connected to any Vutlan monitoring device.

Each VT440 device adds 32 dry contacts. Each VT440 + VT32 expansion module adds 64 dry contacts. 

A tab for monitoring and configuring dry contacts is available in the Vutlan device interface.

Connecting CAN sensors

You can connect multiple CAN devices to a CAN bus chain.

Each VT408 unit in the CAN bus chain adds 8 analog sensors. Each VT440 unit adds 32 or 64 dry contact inputs to the system.

An additional CAN12V-1A power supply is only required if the number of CAN devices in the CAN bus chain exceeds 12 pieces.

Centralized Infrastructure Management Software using SNMP protocol

No matter how complex your IT infrastructure is, you can manage all assets using DCIM SNMP software, infrastructure management software.

Vutlan supports SNMP v1, SNMP v2c, SNMP v3. Hence the data from Vutlan monitoring units can be monitored from any SNMP managemnt software package.
