Setting Up a Device Monitored by External Pulse Meter
The Panoramic Power software platform now allows you to assign an external Electricity meter (using pulse input) to any device. This allows for these devices to be included in the Electrical Hierarchy to better represent the site total.
The setup process is easy and divided into three steps:
Step 1: Confirm your Electricity Meter is connected
You can connect an external Electricity meter to the Panoramic Power platform in one of two ways:
- Using one of the pulse inputs in the Panoramic Bridge (Gen4+)
- Using Obvius Logger
Step 2: Add a Device
In the Deployment Tool, create a new device under a panel
In the device properties pop-up, under 'Monitored By' - select 'Electric Pulse Meters'
Once all fields are filled in, click Apply to complete the process.
Step 3: Assign an Electricity Pulse Meter to a Device
Once you expand the device properties / or click Connect Meter, you'll be able to set:
- The Associated Bridge/Logger - Select a panoramic bridge or external Obvius logger
- The Channel Input to which the device's sub-meter is connected in the bridge/logger
- The Scaling Factor
- Click Connect to complete the setup
