PowerMonic
Portable Power Monitoring
The PowerMonic series of portable power
quality recorders caters to a wide range of
utility and industrial monitoring applications.
The high powered, robust, easy to use and
practical instrument provides convenient and
accurate information on the performance and
condition of low voltage networks.
The compact design allows for easy and quick
installation for short and long term monitoring
applications. Simultaneously logging Power
Quality and Power Flow parameters the
PowerMonic also independently captures
high speed event snapshots to help uncover
PM30/40
intermittent, potentially harmful and hard-tofind power quality issues. Typical installations
include, but are not limited to, Pad Mount
and Pole Mount Transformers, Capacitor Banks,
Regulators, Substations, and Commercial,
Residential and Industrial connection points.
The PowerMonic Portable Power Quality
Analyzers are a proven, versatile and reliable
everyday instrument used by System Planners,
Distribution Engineers, Electrical Engineers,
Electrical Contractors, Power Quality Engineers,
and Maintenance Engineers for troubleshooting
and analyzing low voltage networks.
The PowerMonic is Easy as 1, 2, 3…
1. Configuration:
Simply Pick, Apply and Install.
Choose from an extensive list
of predefined configurations
accommodating a wide range of
connections or customize to suit a specific
investigation. The configurable options
include:
Simple user defined log parameters
Independent High Speed Event Capture settings
Memory Management
Different Start / Stop log options
The powerful memory management tool allows
the user to allocate memory independently for
events and data, therby maximizing overall
recording time.
3. Data Analysis:
2. Installation:
The PowerMonic’s tamperproof
and rugged housing is well suited
for indoor and outdoor single, split
and three-phase installations.
The PowerMonic features an easy plug and play set
up for immediate use; on connection it automatically
detects, scales and starts recording. The instrument
is powered by the measured voltage, ideal for short
and long-term monitoring without worrying about
battery life or an auxiliary power supply. Real-time
measurements and log and memory status are
clearly displayed on the LCD panel. An internal,
rechargeable backup battery provides ride through
recording capabilities and the non-volatile memory
guarantees data retention during sustained outages.
The logged data is easily downloaded to a PC using
either a direct or remote connection.
PowerView incorporates over
10-years experience and user
feedback and is recognized as the
best in class software package. PowerView
features powerful viewing and reporting tools
with a simple, clean, intuitive and easy-to-use
interface for quick data and root cause analysis.
