Overview
The RS2 updates its measurements every 5 seconds.
measurements are read by the host every 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the number of other
sensors connected. Sensor data collected by the RS2 gives useful trend analysis data, and
allows users to view changes and draw useful conclusions about what is happening over time in
the monitored environment.
Internal Sensors
The RS2 contains the following onboard sensors:
Volts: Measures instantaneous RMS voltage.
•
Volts(Peak): Measures the highest reported voltage since the last time the data was
•
updated, typically every 5 seconds.
Amps: Measures instantaneous RMS current.
•
Amps(Peak): Measures the highest reported current since the last time the data on the
•
screen was updated, typically every 5 seconds.
Real Power: Average of instantaneous voltage and current over the last 1.5 seconds.
•
Apparent Power: The product of instantaneous RMS Voltage and RMS Current. This is the
•
value used by circuit breakers.
Power Factor: The ratio of Real Power to Apparent Power.
•
Data Logging and Display
All data collected by the RS2 can be graphed by the host unit. The host unit's Logging page
allows the user to select graphed content to be logged.
the host unit at a rate of one point per minute and are shown on the Sensors page. Host units
with LCD displays can optionally show sensor measurements there as well. The number of
selected sensors determines the maximum data logging time span. This period is calculated
and displayed on the Logging page. The oldest data will be deleted when the onboard memory
fills up in order to make room for new data. All RS2 sensor values are shown on the RS2's
onboard display.
Service and Maintenance
No service or maintenance is required. Do not attempt to open the RS2 or you may void the
warranty. No serviceable parts inside. It is recommended that power be removed from the
unit before installing or removing any equipment.
