Monitoring
capacity
PX5 can monitor the following power configurations:
While monitoring any of the above configurations, the PX5 can also be connected to
monitor neutral to ground voltage and neutral or ground current.
Automatic
setup, Wizard
setup, or
Advanced setup
Setup is a configuration of parameter thresholds that control the data recorded by PX5.
Users may perform instrument setup in three ways: via Automatic Setup which utilizes
auto-configured settings and allows users to proceed directly with data monitoring; via
Wizard Setup which follows a step-by-step sequence where users go through a series of
circuit setup screens; or via Advanced Options setup which allows users to modify
trigger parameters and intervals or tweak threshold settings.
Trend
Users can generate plots for all journalled data combined with min/max recordings of
that parameter. Most journal parameters have multiple channels to plot.
Reports
Users have two options on how to view QOS compliance reports.
EN50160 displays statistical reports on QOS compliance based on an analysis of the
voltage as per requirements of the EN50160 standard. Compliance data is presented in
bar charts, statistical tables, and graphs. Statistical data is calculated on the required
parameters specified in EN50160 over one week interval to produce a PASS/FAIL
decision of QOS compliance.
Status presents a report summary for Standard PQ, EN50160, and Motor Quality
parameters via the annunciator panel. The panel is color coded such that green indicates
the parameter is within limits and/or no events have occurred since the last time the
panel was cleared. Red indicates the parameter is out of limits and/or events of that type
have occurred since last cleared. Unlike the EN50160 which reports on QOS
compliance on a weekly basis, Status monitors compliance continuously. There is
also the option to view a parameter in more detail i.e. display its data plot, threshold
values, or edit parameter/channel settings.
Data Card
PX5 supports the use of Compact Flash data cards with AT LEAST 32MB storage
capacity. The user replaceable data card serves as primary storage for data. Data
monitoring CANNOT proceed without the data card. PX5 is designed to accommodate
the Compact Flash card in its native format, and does not require the use of a PC card
adapter. However, a PC card adapter can be used to read the data into a laptop or other
computer with a PC card slot.
