About Panoramic Power® and the Bridge
The Panoramic Power System monitors electrical energy consumption at the
site level as well as the individual circuit level. It detects excess usage, allowing
organizations to identify and reduce energy, maintenance expenses and
monitor site level consumption.
The Panoramic Power System consists of wireless, self-powered sensors
engineered to allow for rapid, non-invasive installation, with almost no
disturbance to operations. Sensors are easily attached to circuit breakers by
just snapping them on to the outgoing electrical wire. They monitor the flow
of electricity through the magnetic field it creates and also use it as power
source. The sensors do not require any maintenance.
Sensors report the power consumption to the Bridge, which, in turn, transfers
the circuit level information, along with readings originated by the utility meter
and read through a pulse input on the Bridge to PowerRadar, the solution's
cloud–based analytics platform. A single Bridge can collect data from up to
250 sensors and two utility meters and multiple bridges can be used in a
single site to increase coverage.
Four generations of Bridges were developed with the fourth generation
now available:
Basic entry level Bridge (PAN-2-E-EWC-US/EU)
Advanced cellular Bridge (PAN-2-H-3G-US/EU), featuring a SIM card slot.
Advanced 3rdgeneration Bridge (PAN-2H-3G-US/EU V3), featuring a
SIM card slot and Modbus interface.*
Advanced 4thgeneration Bridge (PAN-2H-3G-US/EU V4), featuring a
SIM card slot, Modbus interface* and two KY pulse inputs.
