Short answer is no. Power Factor is not the same identically across the site or panel hence to get the accurate Power Factor, a PAN-42 must be installed on the specific device.
-30 dBm thru -75 dBm. If more than -30 dBm, move the Bridge further away from the sensor. If less than -75dBm, move the Bridge closer to the sensor or analyze the environment to see if there are any RF interfering materials between the Bridge and sensor (thick walls, metal, other systems operating on the same frequency). In the latter case, move t

To upgrade the Bridge in person, you will need the upgrade firmware file (.fw)(available upon request by submitting a support ticket ), a USB drive of 8GB memory size or less (for Bridges on firmware version starting with 4), the Bridge, its power supply, an ethernet cable, and a computer/laptop. For Bridges on firmware v676 or higher, you will upg
The current sensors do not provide sub metering accuracy because they only measure current (and not voltage or power factor). In environments where power factor and voltage are stable, the overall accuracy of energy (kWh) measurements over time is expected to vary between 2% - 8%. Many of our customers choose to use our current sensors in such cases
Yes. For 1 minute interval data, it is available on the platform for the most recent 3 months. After 3 months, the smallest resolution available to view historical data is 5 minutes for up to 6 months. After 6 months, the smallest resolution available for historical data is 15 minutes.

PAN-42 Modbus integration is available for Bridges on firmware v476 or higher. You can have up to 3 PAN-42 sensors configured per Bridge. Download the attached Programmer's Guide below for Bridges that are configured for Modbus. Bridge Modbus Programmers Guide.pdf
When the PAN-42 current readings are inconsistent with expected values, please check the shorting breakers wiring on the current side. If in doubt, temporarily bypass the shorting breakers altogether and connect the CTs directly into the PAN-42 unit and reverify the current. PAN42 Troubleshooting Checklist.pdf

Best option is to use one large current transformer (CT) to capture all cables with a single sensor.

PAN-14 uses a standard 5A-output current transformer (CT) to measure current. The primary current range is determined by the CT rating. The typical accuracy for PAN-14 is 2%, at the current range of 0.1A to 5A at the CT’s output (2%-100% of the full current range). For example: If a 100A:5A CT is used, the PAN-14 sensor’s accuracy is defined as 2% f

It depends on how many sensors are within the Bridge's range and how often the sensors are operating (nonstop vs. only during operating hours). In the case where a Bridge has 25 sensors that are operating all day and all night, the recommended data plan would be 500MB per SIM Card.
PAN-42 was tested by a 3rd party lab for 1% accuracy according to ANSI C12.1 class 1. This accuracy is sufficient for many billing-level applications, such as M&V, sub metering, etc. Despite its tested accuracy, PAN-42 is not officially certified as utility grade. This is due to some utility meter requirements (such as an outdoor enclosure and a

PAN-42 measures current, voltage, and power factor. Therefore, its power measurement is highly accurate. For PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 power calculations, a static voltage value and power factor is used from the Panel Configuration and/or the Account's Default Voltage. Since these values are entered by the user, these may not reflect real life values.
No. There is no voltage rating for the PAN-10, PAN-12, and the PAN-14. The only limitation is in the current since that is what they are measuring. Sensors Datasheet.pdf
