| SurePower™ keeps your meter
and its accessories logging under even the most severe conditions
High-Capacity Self-Contained Rechargeable Batteries
All of our meters have rechargeable batteries with ample capacity.
This means that you can use your meter for spot checks and logging
sessions for an entire work day without having to worry about
attaching chargers or other energy sources to the meter. It also
means you make an ecological contribution by avoiding disposable
batteries.
No Batteries in our probes and accessories
None of our current probes require disposable batteries. This
means that when your logging session is done, the data will be
there. The circuitry of our flexible CT and DC current probes
gets its power directly from the PowerSight meter. Improve your
results, simplify your life, and make an ecological contribution
by not using disposable batteries.
Wall Charger that works with you
All of our meters come with wall chargers that provide a ubiquitous
source of power for the meters. Since the internal batteries are
automatically charged while the charger is running the meter,
the charger/battery combination allows you to charge for as long
as the wall socket is active and to bridge power outages of from
8-10 hours duration (6-8 hours for the PS4000). This is sufficient
for most logging needs. Chargers are available for use with North
American standard, European standard, and British standard sockets.
Line-To-DC Converter option for maximum flexibility
Our Line-To-DC Converters (LDC) are accessories that convert
the power that you are monitoring into a source of 12VDC to run
your meter. When combined with the internal rechargeable battery
capacity, this allows essentially unlimited logging duration.
Reasons you may wish to use an LDC are:
- Use for everyday monitoring without the bother of hooking
the charger up to a 120V outlet jack
- Simplify monitoring connections when the LDC and PowerSight
are installed in a power panel (no wires entering or exiting
the panel, all secured from theft and tampering)
- Simplify monitoring connections when the LDC and PowerSight
are inside a CASW weather-resistant operating case (just hook
up the voltage leads).
- Reduce theft or tampering of your test setup by locking the
meter, LDC, and all wires inside a power panel while logging
- Monitor on a rooftop, power pole, power pad, or electrical
room where a 120V outlet jack is not available for your charger
- Monitor where an extension cord from a 120V outlet jack would
be a safety hazard
- Provide reliable charging of the meter when there is concern
that the available 120V outlet jack may be switched off by other
personnel
Wide-Range 12VDC input power
All PowerSight meters are powered by a nominal 12VDC. This means
you can set up your own charging arrangement. Using a 12V car
battery can run your meter for many weeks. This is ideal for use
in locations having extended power outages or for remote solar-power
generating systems. Seek factory advice before making your own
charging arrangement.
Whatever your power measurement needs are, we have a solution
that minimizes effort and error.
