- The monitor contains a superior noise separation technology based on pulse shape filtering and analysis, which reliably distinguishes partial discharges from electrical interference (noise) in order to avoid false indications (alarms) when the monitored equipment is connected to the electrical system by >30m of power cable.
- Robust, continuous monitor tested to withstand harsh plant conditions
- The collected data are compatible with existing sensor installations and can be commissioned without shutting down the machines.
- It periodically collects and archives PD data for download in 3 sensitivity ranges – a user-specified range, a range that automatically adjusts to current PD levels, and a range suitable for assessing PD alert conditions.
- In response to a PD alert, users can review pulse height analysis plots, and PD plots resolved in 24 windows using basic interpretation to confirm the cause of the alert.
- The alert output is a dedicated relay installed inside the monitor housing that can activate a remote indicator of high PD alert conditions.
- The alarm output can be connected to an installation monitoring system.
- It is equipped with environmental sensor input modules to enhance data collection for trending and analysis. Using
- An optional sensor, ambient temperature and ambient humidity can be recorded along with PD data readings.
- USB memory stick port for downloading stored data without a laptop computer.
- NetworkingAR with an Ethernet port for remote diagnostics, downloading, configuration with Iris Power software.
- Modbus over Ethernet protocol included for interfacing to third party applications to obtain machine operating state and provide summary PD data.
