CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
Overview
EnergyPlatform
description The Dranetz Energy Platform
TM
is a portable, hand-held, eight-channel demand
and energy meter/monitor. This advanced power instrument is designed with a color
liquid crystal display (LCD) 1/4 VGA, using touch screen technology. It can monitor,
record and display data on four voltage channels and four current channels
simultaneously.
The Energy Platform is designed to allow the user to easily conduct a complete demand
and energy audit of a facility, a distribution circuit, or an individual piece of equipment.
In addition, it simultaneously provides basic power quality (PQ) information about the
system being monitored.
EnergyPlatform
firmware The firmware for the Energy Platform is contained on internal FLASH memory. It has
an operating system capable of performing multiple applications. When an updated
version of the firmware is released, the user can upgrade the internal program by
putting the latest Energy Platform firmware program card in the appropriate slot of the
mainframe. See page 1-10 for instructions on how to upgrade the Energy Platform
firmware from a data card.
The Energy Platform firmware can monitor demand and energy parameters for energy
audits, efficiency studies and cost reduction programs. It can carry out long-term
statistical studies to establish performance baselines, and perform field-based
equipment testing and evaluation for commissioning and maintenance. The firmware
integrates an intuitive instrument setup procedure to ensure the capture of all relevant
data for additional post process analysis, report writing, and data archiving using other
compatible Dranetz software applications such as the Energy Platform
