| The "Plug and Play" Power Analyzer |
Power Analysis Required for Best SolutionThe “first step” and “best way” to finding solutions to your particular power problems is correctly diagnosing the situation (Source: LAN Magazine, LAN Times and Reseller Management). Since most power anomalies are typically imperceptible problems created within your own building, the only way to really diagnose such unique problems is to do an on-site power quality analysis. Sherlock Power Analyzer With a Sherlock Power Analyzer, you don’t have to pay for a power consultant to analyze your power quality. All you have to do is simply plug the Sherlock into a wall power outlet, and it will monitor and analyze the power quality for you. Sherlock quantifies your power problems and makes suggestions regarding potential causes and economical solutions. It’s that simple. No need to pay for an expensive electrician or additional power monitoring equipment. Comprehensive power analysis Brownouts, blackouts and overvoltages Sherlock records the date, time, duration and magnitude (where appropriate) of brownouts, blackouts, dropouts (momentary outages) and overvoltages. This information can be used to determine the requirements for voltage regulation, power isolation, UPS battery runtime, etc. Also, if the incoming utility line power is poor in quality, the recorded power data can be used to point out problems to your power company. Normal-mode surges and noise Sherlock measures line noise (>2V peak to peak) and surge impulses (from 10 to 1000+ volts) and indicates where the noise or surge is located on the power line sine wave. Knowing the noise or surge location on the sine wave simplifies the task of identifying on-site causes such as elevators, air conditioners, copiers, laser printers and even other computers. Common-mode surges and noise To check for data and equipment damaging common-mode noise or ground loops, Sherlock logs the neutral line voltages detected between neutral and ground. Surge impulses measured between neutral and ground of 10 to 1000+ volts are also recorded to help isolate surge causes. Power line average voltage/frequency, phase shift Changes in average line voltage, average line frequency and AC line phase shift are logged to help you determine typical power line conditions and the required specifications for power protection equipment. Graphical power analysis (remote or local) Direct printer connection to Sherlock Without a computer or installing any software, graphical and text summary reports can be easily printed out by connecting the Sherlock directly to a printer. Graphical analysis on your PC For detailed graphical analysis, upload the power quality data to your PC. Using Sherlock’s pie charts, bar graphs and actual-vs-acceptable charts, you can quickly identify power disturbance patterns that point to potential causes. Remote power analysis With an external modem connected to Sherlock, you can analyze the power of remote locations from your own workstation, saving plane tickets and on-site electrician charges.
