Two Powerful Choices
The PS2500 and PS3500 are inexpensive yet versatile, handheld
power monitors. Both provide a complete solution for the process of
performing power studies - from setup, to data gathering, to issuing
a comprehensive final report. Both are excellent choices for power
studies; the PS3500 offers more measurements and features that
are accessible through the keypad. Note their contoured, rubberized
grip that fits securely and comfortably in the hand. They are
lightweight (only 1.1 lb.), compact and rugged, — ideal for field work!
AC & DC Power Measurements
Both are equipped with 4 current and 3 voltage channels to measure
voltage, current, and power on all phases as well as neutral currents
for single-phase, two-phase, three-phase, split-delta, 2PT/2CT, DC,
45-66 Hz, and 360-440 Hz applications.
Comprehensive Logging Capabilities
Both allow for logging of voltage and current, power usage and
energy consumption in kWh. They have ample internal memory for
monitoring up to months at a time. These units measure, record, and
log: V, I, W, VA, VAR, PF, Hz, THD, – all simultaneously. You can audit
individual loads or entire facilities, measure and profile circuit capacity,
check load panel imbalance, track harmonic distortion and more.
SD Memory Card Slot
With inexpensive Secure Digital memory cards logging times can be
extended and multiple surveys can be saved. SD cards offer an
alternative download method to a PC. Whenever an SD card is
inserted data is always saved automatically to the card. A card can
be swapped after pausing and then monitoring resumed. Cards can
be taken to a PC thus avoiding the need to take a PC to the meter in
the field.
Bluetooth Communications
Each unit communicates wirelessly to a PC via Bluetooth so there’s
no need to connect a cable and be “tethered” to a PC! On a nearby
PC screen a few feet away, real-time waveforms, phasors and
harmonic spectra can be displayed. Also, from a few feet away, you
can remotely control a PowerSight monitor
wirelessly
.
PC Software & Report Generator
All PowerSight monitors include PowerSight Manager PC software
for data analysis. This software can display individual graphical logs,
zoom and expand for detail, print, and export data to a spreadsheet
file. The automatic Report Writer compiles the survey data into tables
and graphs in just seconds to eliminate tedious manual cutting and
pasting. The report is editable so you can insert your conclusions
and recommendations. The comparison mode is ideal for comparing
surveys such as “before and after” adding new loads or making
circuit changes, or verifying the financial savings after implementing
energy savings measures.
Safety First!
Both are CAT IV rated, the most stringent safety rating
for handheld test equipment. Thus, the PS2500 and PS3500
are deemed safe for connection to up to 600 V service
anywhere in a facility.
No More Connection Errors or Wasted Surveys

current connections and advises you before you begin monitoring.

Going Green?
First start with a PowerSight monitor to
identify energy savings opportunities. Find out
how much energy you are using – and when.
Implement a solution and monitor again to
verify. Get the results the way you want, in
watts or in dollars.
Going Solar or Wind-Powered?
PowerSight meters are smart and tell you
when you are consuming power and when
you are generating and sending power back
to the grid.
