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.

3. Choose a clean and even surface, located near a power source.
4. Make sure the Bridge side vents are not blocked.
5. Attaching with screws: Use the template on the back of the Bridge to
measure the distance between the two screws.
6. Adhering to the wall: Peel the adhesive backing off two pieces of the
re-closeable fastener and attach them to the back of the Bridge.
In the same way, attach the two remaining pieces of the re-closeable
fastener to the wall, making sure they are aligned with the pieces on
the Bridge.
7. Attaching to a DIN rail: Attach the included DIN rail adapter to the
Bridge using the two screws provided. The adapter clips on to a standard
DIN rail.
Connecting the Bridge
Depending on the required network configuration, you can connect the Bridge
to the Internet using Wi-Fi, cellular network, or wired LAN.

7.1.1 Configuring the Pulse Inputs
If you connect the Bridge to a meter’s pulse output, you need to enable the
pulse inputs in the Bridge configuration.
Prerequisites
Have the pulse outputs connected to the pulse input connectors on the side of
the bridge
How to proceed
1. In the Pulse input tab check the checkbox next to the pulse input you
wish to enable
2. Make sure the measurement frequency is set to 60 seconds
3. You can use the pulse counters to verify that pulses are counted.
The counters update every 10 seconds
Loading the Bridge configuration from a configuration file
You can use the configuration file for configuring other Bridges that have similar
configuration requirements. For example, if Bridges in a chain of stores share
the same Internet connection type and access points, you can prepare one
configuration file and use it for configuring other Bridges in these locations.
You can also load the configuration file onto the same Bridge if its configuration
gets corrupted.
How to proceed
1. Access the Bridge web interface.
2. Access the Connection setup page.
3. Select Load Configuration from file.
4. Select the relevant file and click Apply.
5. If necessary, enter the password manually (for example, Wi-Fi password,
SSL Password, RSA Private Key).
