The Power to Know

It’s all about the need to know...

Your need to know what’s
happening with your facil­ity’s on-site power and
distribution system. That
includes automatic transfer
switches, generator paral­leling control switchgear,
gensets, circuit breakers,
paralleling bus, protective
relays and other gear.

It’s not only to know, but
to understand. To act. To
solve issues when seconds
count.

Your need to know about
equipment condition,
operation and status is
more critical than ever.
Essentially, to make sure
that all equipment and

components are healthy
and “playing nice.” That’s
especially important as
system complexity and
sophistication increase.

Knowing can help ensure
power reliability for criti­cal operations, and thus
continuity of those opera-

tions. To make sure when
questions are asked, you
have answers.

Now there’s a way to get
exactly the amount of
communication, monitor­ing and control capabilities
you want for your utility
source and on-site power
system.

components that can be
congured for a range of
ASCO Automatic Transfer
Switches and Generator
Paralleling Control Switch­gear. Some components
also can monitor third-par-

ty devices, such as gensets,
paralleling bus, circuit
breakers and other gear.

Consider including remote
monitoring capability.
Remote capabilities can
minimize the need for
personnel to be near
equipment and perhaps
avoid suiting up in arc ash

protective gear.
The following pages
illustrate the components
and monitoring servers for
PowerQuest 5300, 5700
or 5900 systems, based
on the equipment at your
facility and the monitoring
and control capabilities you
want.

PowerQuest 5300 Standard Capabilities

PowerQuest 5300 moni­tors and controls ASCO
Power Transfer Switches in
all amperages and these
congurations:

• Manual or Automatic

• Closed Transition

• Open Transition

• Delayed Transition

• Bypass-Isolation

• Indoor or Outdoor

• Service Entrance Rated

PowerQuest 5300 provides
standard monitoring and
control capabilities—status,
auditory and visual alarm­ing, and local and remote
control.

One connectivity module
is required to connect each
transfer switch to monitor­ing servers.

For example, if you want
browser independence (IE,
Safari, Firefox, Chrome,

SELECT ETHERNET,

Designing a communica­tions pathway between a
PowerQuest system and
on-site power equipment is
straightforward.

ASCO 5150 and 5160 con­nectivity devices and
ASCO 5210 and 5220
Power Managers connect
directly to equipment via
Modbus, Ethernet or ber
optic cable.

Modules and power man­agers typically are installed
on or near the equipment
to which they are con­nected.

The modules and power
managers connect to
ASCO Monitoring Servers
and building management

Monitoring servers can be
installed near the equip­ment or remotely. Remote
locations range from
nearby engineering ofces
to sites around a single

Only PowerQuest Employs AES 128-bit
Encryption to Protect On-site Power Systems
Against Unauthorized Data Access and Control

Securing and protecting your on-site
power system from unauthorized moni­toring and control is paramount.

PowerQuest Power Monitoring and
Control systems employ Advanced En­cryption Standard (AES 128-bit Encryp­tion) It's the same advanced encryption
standard used by the National Security
Agency to protect top secret informa­tion. In fact, AES 128-bit Encryption is
the encryption standard adopted by the
entire Federal government.

es in a region, or buildings
spread nationally, or even
globally.

The distances between
modules and power man­agers and the monitoring
servers they connect to are
important considerations
in designing a power com­munication, monitoring
and control system.

For example, to maintain
good communication, the
distance for an ethernet
over category 6 cable
connection should be no
longer than 300 ft. For ber
optic cable, it's 6,500 ft.

PowerQuest is the only on-site power
monitoring and control system outfit­ted with AES 128-bit Encryption. The
standard is based on a cryptographic
algorithm that securely protects elec­tronic data. It's encryption and decryp­tion process is fast in both hardware
and software.

Trust PowerQuest to secure and protect
your on-site power equipment from
unauthorized access.

When distances for those
ASCO 5160 RCUs (Remote
Connecitvity Units) exceed
their respective limits,
ASCO Remote Connectivity
Units effectively extend the
distance.

An example: A facility
manager wants to connect
PowerQuest to on-site pow­er equipment using the
facility's legacy Ethernet
communications network.
But, the distances be­tween modules and power
managers and monitoring
servers is 900 ft. Remote
connectivity units daisy­chained at the 300 ft. and
600 ft. marks will permit
the use of the legacy Ether­net network.

Remote connectivity units
effectively extend the dis­tances for ber optic cable
networks as well.

Web-based communica­tion satises connectivity
requirements regionally,
nationally and globally.
