About Panoramic Power® and the Bridge
The Panoramic Power System monitors electrical energy consumption at the site level as well as at the
individual circuit level. It detects excess usage, allowing organizations to identify and reduce energy,
maintenance expenses and monitor site level consumption.
The 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
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 a power source. The sensors do not require any maintenance.
Sensors report the power consumption to the bridge. The bridge 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 3rd Generation Bridge (PAN-2H-3G-US/EU V3), featuring a SIM card slot and
Modbus interface*.
•Advanced 4th Generation Bridge (PAN-2H-3G-US/EU V4), featuring a SIM card slot, Modbus
interface* and two KY pulse inputs.
The table below lists the key features of each bridge.
* The Modbus interface is reserved for future use.
The Advanced 3rd and 4th Gen Bridge provide store-and-forward capability. In case of a network loss that
impacts connectivity with PowerRadar, the bridge stores measurements until communication is restored.
The bridge storage capacity is shown in the table below:
# Connected Sensors
# Days Stored

Pulse input data is stored for up to 30 days.
This guide explains how to install and configure the Advanced 4th Gen Bridge. For information on previous
generations of bridges, see the corresponding installation and configuration guides.

Unpacking the Hardware
We recommend that you follow these unpacking instructions before installing the hardware.
How to Proceed
1. Check the box. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact your sales representative.
2. Open the box. It should include the following items:
•Bridge
•Cellular antenna
•RF antenna, labeled Rx-1 (Europe) or Rx-2 (USA)
•Pluggable adapters for the pulse inputs
•Pluggable adapter for the Modbus input
•DIN rail adapter with mounting screws
•5V DC wall adapter
•4-piece reclose able fastener with adhesive
3. Keep the box in case you need to repack the bridge later.
Attaching the Antennas
Before performing any connections, mount the antennas onto the bridge as follows:
1. (European model) Screw the RF antenna labeled Rx-1 into the connector marked Rx-1, as shown below.
(US model) Screw the RF antenna labeled Rx-2 into the connector marked Rx-2.
2. Screw the cellular antenna into its connector.
3. Position the antennas as shown below.

Mounting the Bridge
You can install the bridge on a flat horizontal surface, mount it on a wall using screws or the re-closeable fastener, or
mount it on a DIN rail.
How to Proceed
1. Configure the bridge as explained in this guide.
2. Position the bridge at a distance as follows:
•Up to 2 meters from the electrical panel, if the panel is covered with a metallic cover.
•Up to 5 meters, if the panel is not covered.
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, a cellular
network, or wired LAN.

•An Ethernet cable for configuring the bridge.
•An Ethernet cable if you connect to the Internet via wired LAN.
•A SIM card if you connect to the Internet via a standard GSM network.
Connecting Pulse Inputs
You can connect the bridge to a KY or KYZ pulse output of a meter.
How to Proceed
1. Screw the pulse wires into the adapter connected to the pulse input. Make sure to screw the K wire into
the K input, and either the Y or Z wire into the Y input.
2. Plug the adapter into one of the pulse inputs on the side of the bridge.
DC specification
•Maximum current (at K-Y short): 0.9 mA
•Internal pullup voltage: 5 VDC
•Absolute maximum K-Y voltage input range: 0-26 VDC

Configuring the Bridge
This section assumes you are familiar with networking procedures.
1.1.1 Accessing the Bridge Web Interface
This section describes how to access the bridge web interface for configuring the relevant data communication
mode.
Prerequisite: Use Internet Explorer 9.0 (and up), Google Chrome, or Firefox to access the bridge web interface.
How to Proceed
1. On your PC, disable your Wi-Fi and disconnect the LAN cable.
2. Connect the bridge to the power source.
3. Once the bridge powers up, it performs a self-test after which all LEDs light up in sequence. For more
information on LED status, see Understanding the Bridge LEDs.
4. Make sure no USB device is connected to the USB port of the bridge.
5. Press the Configuration button for approximately 5 seconds, until the LED lights solid red.
6. Connect the bridge to the PC using the LAN cable, only after the LED lights solid red (indicating that
the bridge is in configuration mode).
7. Activate your web browser. In the address bar, enter IP address 10.0.0.10.
The Status page appears and displays the current configuration.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the computer to connect to the bridge’s DHCP server; you can
release and renew your IP address on your computer to speed up the process.
