2553 Three-Phase General Purpose
Power Analyzer

The 2553 Power Analyzer incorporates the
ideal combination of precision, speed and
ease-of-use in an instrument so economical it
can be on every bench.

The six-key front panel has four ‘soft’ keys with menus that simplify
the selection of measurements. In addition to numerical results, the
2553 captures wave forms with true 400-point precision. These wave-
forms can be displayed or directly output at full resolution to a PCL
printer. Power and amplitude measurements with a base accuracy of

0.1% are automatically synchronized to the fundamental frequency.
Peak measurements of voltage, current and power include continu-
ous, inrush and history modes plus an accumulation mode for W-Hr,
A-Hr, and VA-Hr.

Quality and Reliability

XiTRON Technologies, founded in 1990, is the premier source of
precision power testing and measurement instruments for industrial
manufacturing and medical electronics. Using the latest digital
signal processing and circuitry, XiTRON’s sophisticated technology
gives our customers the edge in design verification and product
manufacturability. XiTRON is ISO-9000: 2000, EN46001 registered
and FDA (GMP 820) compliant.

XiTRON XVIEW Software

While all XiTRON precision test equipment is designed

to be used in a completely stand-alone manner, there are

times when external tools can aid or enhance the operation of
an instrument. XView software tools and drivers are designed to help
easily configure an instrument from a single screen, or are used to
view a complete set of measurements in a single screen. Other X View
tools are designed for data collection where results can be recorded in
an Excel-compatible file for post-processing, insertion into reports, or
simply for archival purposes.

These precompiled applications can be downloaded from the XiTRON
web site at www.xitrontech.com/support.html. Often, XiTRON can
provide the source code for a particular application, and it can be used
as a convenient ‘starting point’ for a custom software application.
