Bridge FAQs

  • Which OS is used for the Bridge?
  • Are there any password restrictions for Wi-Fi networks when configuring a Bridge to Wi-Fi?
  • What is needed for an upgrade for a Bridge?
  • What Wi-Fi modems/protocols does the Bridge support?
  • Is there a way to find the EMEI number of a Cellular Bridge?
  • What does it mean if the Bridge's Power LED is orange?
  • What monthly data plan do you recommend for the SIM Cards for Cellular Bridges?
  • What is the distance range of the Bridge and the sensors?
  • How many sensors can a Bridge collect data from?
  • What is the Bridge storage capacity?
  • How do I access the Bridge to update its network connectivity?
  • The Bridge can not connect to the Panoramic Power URL. Is there an IP address I can use instead?
  • I have a Verizon issued SIM card (in North America) and the Bridge would not connect. How can I fix this?
  • Can I perform Bridge MAC ID authentication for added security?
  • Can I connect BACnet devices to the Bridge?

PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 Sensors FAQs

  • Where are the Panoramic Power Wireless Sensors installed?
  • What is the measurement accuracy of the PAN-14 sensor?
  • How do you guarantee the accuracy of the sensors?
  • Can I certify the sensors for sub-metering accuracy? Can I use them for sub-metering applications?
  • How critical is the actual direction of current once you install PAN-10/PAN-12?
  • What are the sensitivity differences between PAN-10 and PAN-12? Due to cable size, two PAN-10s cannot be installed but one PAN-10 and one PAN-12 instead and there are different current readings
  • Do the PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 sensors have any voltage limitations?
  • What is the measurement accuracy of the PAN-10/PAN-12 sensors?
  • Do the sensors measure true RMS current?
  • How are power and energy calculated from the sensors’ data?
  • Do PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 sensors assume power factor of 1 to get kW?
  • For devices with multiple cables for one phase, what if the loads on the cable are unbalanced?
  • How do PAN-10 and PAN-12 sensors behave on VFD driven systems? Are the sensors installed before VFD on the feed cables from the panel?
  • Which CTs are compatible with PAN-14 Sensors?

PAN-42 Sensor FAQs

  • Can I use the PAN-42 for sub metering applications?
  • If we have a PAN-42 installed, can we automatically use its measured power factor for subsequent downstream sensors?
  • What are the voltage limitations of the PAN-42 sensors?
  • The power measured on a PAN-42 does not match the power of a PAN-10/PAN-12/PAN-14 of the same device. Why is that?
  • Is PAN-42 a utility/revenue-grade meter?
  • How can I setup Modbus for my PAN-42 Sensor?
  • The current measured on a PAN-42 does not match the current measured with a handheld current reading device OR doesn't match the PAN-14 current reading of the same device. Why is that?
  • 2 of the 3 phases on my PAN-42 are showing reflected/mirrored power factors. How is that possible?
  • What CTs are compatible with PAN-42 Sensors?
  • If a potential transformer is required, what specifications are required? Are there any recommended ones to use?
  • What are the recommended fuse holders for the PAN-42?
  • Why PAN-42?

Software Platform FAQs

  • Is it possible to add in "virtual data sets"? For example, if we monitor 1 main and 1 sub-main, can we have the option to add in another sub-main which will then be a subtraction of the sub-main from the main?
  • How can I receive Push Notifications from Triggers?
  • What does RSSI stand for?
  • How do I swap sensors on a device?
  • Are there data retention policies applied to the energy data?
