Our products are protected by patents pending as well as, when applicable, bycopyrights 5OverviewPanoramic Power System (PPS) monitors electrical energy consumption atindividual circuit level and detects excess usage allowing organizations toidentify and reduce energy and maintenance expenses.PPS consists of wireless, self-powered sensors engineered to allow forrapid, non-invasive installation, with almost no disturbance to operations.Sensors are easily attached to circuit breakers by just snapping them on tothe outgoing electrical wire. They monitor the flow of electricity throughthe resulting magnetic field and also use the field as a power source. Thesensors do not require any maintenance.Data collected by the sensors is sent to a bridge, which, in turn, transfersthe information to the PPS server through the Internet, using Cloudtechnology.The sensors report the energy consumption to the bridge at sub-minuteintervals. Consumption reports can be retrieved through the system.This user guide explains how to install the sensors.Unpacking the HardwareSensors are shipped in 30-unit packs.The package includes the following items:30 sensors.1 sensor openerSafety PrecautionsThe sensor must be installed only on an insulated conductor.The conductor’s diameter and maximum current must match thespecification printed on the sensor.The sensor should be installed and removed only by a qualifiedelectrician.

Our products are protected by patents pending as well as, when applicable, bycopyrights 6Installation must not be performed on a live wire for reasons of safetyand random shock hazard. Power supply to the panel must be shut offbefore and during installation.The sensor must not be installed lying or touching busbars or any othernon-insulated, exposed conductors.Installation is possible both on external entry/exit conductors before theterminal strip, as well as both ends of the circuit breaker. The leastcramped, most accessible location should be chosen for installation. Thesensor should be installed such that the arrow points in the direction ofthe load.Hardware DescriptionThis procedure must be carried out only by a certified electrician.The sensors are shipped closed, in order to protect the core from dust andother pollutants. Open a sensor only when preparing to install it.Figure 1. Closed sensor Figure 2. Open sensor: Core

Open sensor: LabelSensors are mapped to building circuits according to their ID, so thatcircuit consumption data is associated with the correct sensor.Installing a SensorTo install a sensor, follow these steps:1. Make sure the 4 core surfaces are free of dust or any other particles. Ifnecessary, wipe it with a dry cloth (the core is clean when it is firstopened and this measure may be redundant).2. Open the cover of the electrical panel board.3. Make sure you have a plan that indicates the circuits to be monitoredand the sensor IDs associates with each such circuit. Identify the circuitbreaker on which you would like to install the sensor.The ID appears on the label fixed to the sensor.4. Pick a sensor and slide it into the Opener from the labeled sidetowards the cover.

Our products are protected by patents pending as well as, when applicable, bycopyrights 98. Place the opening of the sensor on a clean section of the electrical cablewith the arrow on the label pointing towards the load, so that thesensor ID and barcode are visible and easily readable. See Figure 7.9. Close the sensor cover, snapping it into its place and making sure thatall four pins are properly inserted and the sensor is tightly closed.Figure 7. Installing a sensor.Note the following:If the sensor vibrates after installation (you can hear the vibration noiseor feel it when touching the sensor), it means that the sensor is notproperly closed. Try to press the two parts of the sensor to close ittightly. If the vibration persists, open the sensor and reinstall it or tryusing another sensor.Whenever possible, avoid installing the sensor behind wires andposition it towards the front of the panel board with label facingtowards you.Uninstalling a SensorUsing the Sensor Opener, slide it on the sensor from the labeled sidetowards the cover. Snap the pins into the 4 holes and press until sensorsnaps open. Remove Sensor from the cable.
