The Energy Platform can monitor the following power configurations:
• Single Phase
• Split Phase
• 3 Phase Wye
While monitoring any of the above configurations, the Energy Platform can also be
connected to monitor neutral to ground voltage and neutral or ground current, where
applicable.
Setup is a configuration of parameter thresholds that control the data recorded by the
Energy Platform. 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 setup which allows users
to modify trigger parameters and intervals or tweak threshold settings under the
Advanced Options.
Users can generate plots for all journalled data combined with min/max recordings of
that parameter. Most journal parameters have multiple channels to plot.
Energy Platform features a summary report for Demand and Energy parameters in easy
to read format. The data is displayed via the report panels. The panel is color coded
such that green indicates the parameter is within limits, yellow means parameter is
moderately out of limits, while red means parameter severely exceeds the monitoring
limits.
Energy Platform supports the use of Compact Flash data card with part number
CFDATA-DB. The user replaceable data card is used as primary storage for data. Data
monitoring CANNOT proceed without the data card. The Energy Platform 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.
