933A Portable Power Sentinel
 
   
   


Arbiter Systems¢ç, Inc. Model 933A Portable Power SentinelTM is the most accurate and most affordable portable power quality meter in the industry. The proprietary EnergyDSATM Digital Signal Analysis algorithms allow the user to measure or record harmonics, flicker (per IEC 61000-4-15, PST and Instantaneous), K-factor and interruptions. The data logging capabilities of the Portable Power SentinelTM allow the user to specify the data to log as well as when to log the data, continuously or when user specified thresholds are exceeded. The high accuracy, portability and data logging capabilities make the Portable Power SentinelTM the perfect field analyzer for the power quality engineer.

Portability
Thanks to the high level of integration made possible with EnergyDSATM, the Model 933A Portable Power SentinelTM combines multiple capabilities into one compact, light weight instrument. Weighing less than 5.8 kg (12.8 lbs), the Portable Power SentinelTM is a power quality monitor, data and event logger, a system monitor, and a revenue meter just like the Model 1133A Power SentinelTM but is designed to accompany you wherever you go and operate continuously for a full eight-hour shift.

Capabilities
Primarily designed with the power quality engineer in mind the Portable Power SentinelTM measures and records harmonics, flicker, K-factor, and interruptions. In addition to these measurements, the Portable Power SentinelTM has the ability to measure system time, phase, frequency and phasors. When synchronized using the IRIG-B input or the optional GPS input, the Model 933A is capable of accurate revenue metering. Pre-fault data can be buffered up to a half second (user definable) allowing for accurate fault recording. The standard 32 MB of memory gives ample space for the storage of detected faults, user defined events, power quality, revenue, and standard data.

Features
The Model 933A Portable Power SentinelTM includes a 320 x 240 graphic LCD display with a CCFL backlight and a 30-key multifunction keypad. Communications are made via an RS-232 or USB 2.0 port that supports DNP 3.0, Modbus, PQ-DIF and proprietary protocols. The standard memory capacity of 32 MB allows for extended data logging capabilities. The 933A may be powered either from a NiMH battery (8 hours typical run time) or an external power supply (85 to 264 Vac, 120 to 275 Vdc)

Options and Accessories
Available options include GPS synchronization for 1 ¥ìs timing accuracy allowing for increased revenue accuracy, optically isolated event inputs, flexible CT inputs, direct current inputs, and programmable KYZ output contacts. Available accessories include an adjustable tilt-handle/bail assembly, a wide selection of test leads, RS-232 and USB cables.
