A COMPLETE LOGGING SOLUTION - from setup, to data gathering, to issuing a comprehensive final report. As with all PowerSight meters the PS2500 comes with powerful PC software and an automatic Report Writer.
The PS2500 is an inexpensive yet versatile, handheld power monitor, an excellent choice for power studies. Note the contoured, rubberized grip that fits securely and comfortably in the hand. It is also, lightweight (only 1.1 lb.), compact and rugged, — ideal for field work!
The Summit PS2500 has 4 current and 3 voltage channels to measure all phases and neutral for single, two-phase, three-phase, split delta, 2PT/2CT, DC, 45-66 Hz, and 360-440 Hz applications as well as DC.
Comprehensive Logging Capabilities Allows for logging of voltage and current, power usage and energy consumption in kWh. They have ample internal memory for monitoring up to months at a time. Measures, records, and logs: V, I, W, VA, VAR, PF, Hz, THD, – all simultaneously. You can audit individual loads or entire facilities, measure and profile circuit capacity, check load panel imbalance, track harmonic distortion and more.
The meter’s operation is backed up by rechargeable batteries and has an option to power it directly from the voltage being monitored. Current probes that normally require batteries (flexible AC probes and DC probes) get their power from the Summit PS2500. This guarantees that the Summit PS2500 will log power as long as you need it. Unlike other loggers, it never goes into "sleep" mode. This guarantees that you will have a true view of all of the data when the job is done.
SD Memory Card Slot With SD cards you could perform several studies in the field and save each survey separately to the card, and then later download several surveys to a PC. Or, for long term monitoring, you can pause the monitor, swap the card with a fresh one, and take the other card back to a PC later. The benefit here is that you don't need to always carry a PC to get data, or you can send someone else to swap the card - they won't need a PC either!
What are the benefits of the SD card?
- High data integrity, data is always saved – since data is always simultaneously logged to the meter’s memory AND the card if present
- You can store more surveys – more survey data – up to 2GB
- SD cards are inexpensive - carry several!
- SD cards offer a method of sharing data
- Surveys can be archived on SD cards
- SD cards are another method of downloading to a PC
Bluetooth Communications Communicates wirelessly to a PC via Bluetooth so there’s no need to connect a cable and be “tethered” to a PC! On a nearby PC screen a few feet away, real-time waveforms, phasors and harmonic spectra can be displayed. Also, from a few feet away, you can remotely control a PowerSight monitor wirelessly.
What are the benefits of Bluetooth wireless communications?
- No need to be tethered to a PC by a cable any more
- No need to carry a communications cable (cables can get lost too!)
- Remote control from a few feet away – a cool feature that enhances safety by keeping you a distance away from high voltages
- Faster downloads than compared to serial cable
PC Software & Report Generator All PowerSight monitors include PowerSight Manager PC software for data analysis. This software can display individual graphical logs, zoom and expand for detail, print, and export data to a spreadsheet file. The automatic Report Writer compiles the survey data into tables and graphs in just seconds to eliminate tedious manual cutting and pasting. The report is editable so you can insert your conclusions and recommendations. The comparison mode is ideal for comparing surveys such as “before and after” adding new loads or making circuit changes, or verifying the financial savings after implementing energy savings measures.
Safety First! CAT IV rated, the most stringent safety rating for handheld test equipment. Thus, the Summit PS2500 can withstand a 10,000 V surge at a 600 V service so you can feel confident in the meter's safety wherever power studies are performed at 600 V or below.
No More Connection Errors or Wasted Surveys Our patented, built-in SureStart feature automatically checks for wrong connections on three phase connections before you begin monitoring to ensure a successful power study every time. If there is a misconnection SureStart will display the error in the meter window.
Use SureSense for automatic current probe identification to set the input of the Summit PS2500 to match each current probe in use. This makes sure that the current probe readings are accurate and correct.More Information
