PK2514 Power Logger with Bluetooth and SD Memory Card Slot
The PK2514 is a good package for basic power studies, energy audits, load studies, and more. Wide-range highly-accurate clamp-on current probes allow you to get the most accurate answers for AC power measurements.
Advanced PowerSight Manager software improves your efficiency and eliminates sources of error at each stage of the monitoring process. CAT IV safety rating and wireless remote control via Bluetooth for even greater safety. SD memory card for redundant storage and essentially unlimited logging capacity.
Features
Measure and log all basic power measurement types: V, A, W, VA, VAR, kWH, PF, Hz, etc. [Note: add Harmonics Option to log THD].
Wide range of operating modes:
- Frequency modes for 50Hz, 60Hz, 400Hz, variable frequency systems, and DC to cover all your needs
- Power modes for Positive Power Only (to get the correct answers even if a current probe is backwards), Negative Power Allowed (for regenerative circuits), 2 Current Power (for special distribution and metering systems)
- Programmed start and/or stop for precise monitoring sessions, Stop When Full, Never Stop
Able to evaluate all common power systems: 3 phase Wye, 3 phase Delta (including 4-wire, open, and grounded), split-phase, single phase, quad single phase (using same source) , 3PT/3CT, 3PT/2CT, 2 current power, DC.
The included Advanced PowerSight Manager software (PSM-A) improves your efficiency and eliminates sources of error at each stage of the monitoring process:
- SureStart expert system to advise if the connections or settings seem correct or not, prior to starting
- Setup Wizard to set your logging parameters according to your application
- ReportWriter to automatically generate error-free reports
From setup to data logging to the final report, the PS2500 Power Logger offers complete power and energy logging in a compact and low cost package. The PS2500's lightweight, rubberized contoured case and rugged construction make the PS2500 ideal for field work.
The PS2500 Power Logger has 4 current and 3 voltage channels to measure all circuit types: single-phase, split-phase, three-phase wye, three-phase delta (including open, grounded, & 4-wire delta), 2PT/2CT, DC, 45-66 Hz, and 360-440 Hz applications as well as DC. It measures voltage, current, KW, KVA, true power factor, energy in KWh, Hz and (optionally) total harmonic distortion (THD). The LCD display shows real-time measurements, like a 3-phase multimeter. You can view real-time phasors and waveforms using Bluetooth wireless communications with our PSM software, like a 3-phase oscilloscope. Log graphs show minimums, maximums, averages, for individual phases and the totals for thousands of logging periods. The PS2500 comes with powerful PC software and an automatic Report Writer.
Clear display for quick verification and spot checks
You can view the voltage, current, true power, apparent power, and true power factor measurements on the LCD display to be sure that the system is operating correctly and the corrections are right... like a 3-phase multimeter!
Successful studies
Our patented "SureStart Connections Expert" feature automatically checks for wrong connections before you begin monitoring to ensure a successful power study every time. If there is a mis-connection SureStart will display the error(s) in the analyzer's display window.
Long term logging for up to months at a time
The meter's operation is backed up by rechargeable batteries and has an option to power it directly from the voltage being monitored. Our current probes do not require batteries, they get their power from the PS2500. This guarantees that the PS2500 will log power as long as you need to. Unlike other loggers it never goes into "sleep" mode. This guarantees that you will have a true view of all of the data when the job is done.
Smart
It comes with Bluetooth technology to wirelessly download data to your PC. Plus a removable SD memory card slot backs up power survey data and provides another method of data transfer to a PC.
Safe for NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 compliance
New safety regulations demand safer tools. The PowerSight PS3500 has a 600V CAT IV (1000V CAT III) safety rating so you can confidently use the PS2500 on systems up to 1000 VRMS. Bluetooth wireless communications allows remote control via a PC or netbook, up to 25 feet away.
