Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring a Leviton logger with the Panoramic platform. The process involves configuring the logger through the Leviton UI and then integrating it with Panoramic for data collection and monitoring.

Prerequisites

• Access to Leviton Logger UI
• Access to Panoramic platform
• Understanding of your meter's input type (Pulse, 0-10V, or 4-20mA)

Part 1: Leviton Logger Configuration

Step 1: Create a New Device

1. Navigate to Devices → Device List in the Leviton UI
2. Click the Add button to create a new device

 Step 2: Configure Device Settings

1. Click Create Configuration to save

Step 3: Access Device Configuration

1. Return to the Device List
2. Click on the device number (e.g., "002") to access detailed configurations

Step 4: Configure Input Channels

1. Review the device parameters page
2. Click the Configure button at the bottom

Step 5: Set Input Type and Parameters

1. Click the Config Point button for the channel you want to configure

2. In the configuration dropdown, select your input type:

• Pulse: For pulse meters
• Current 4-20mA: For 4-20mA analog inputs
• Voltage 0-10V: For 0-10V analog inputs

3. Configure the input parameters based on your selection:

For Analog Inputs (4-20mA or 0-10V):

• Recommended Setup: Set the range to match the input type range
• For 4-20mA: Set minimum to 4.000 and maximum to 20.000
• For 0-10V: Set minimum to 0.000 and maximum to 10.000
• This sends raw data to Panoramic where you'll configure the actual unit ranges

For Pulse Inputs:

• Set Pulse Multiplier to 1.000 (recommended)
• Configure the actual scaling factor in Panoramic

4. Click Save Profile to save your configuration

Step 6: Configure Data Logging

1. Navigate to Device List → Logging
2. Set Data Logging period to 1 minute
3. Click Apply to save

Step 7: Configure Data Upload to Panoramic

1. Navigate to Log File Data → Setup / Upload
2. Enable Upload Channel #1
3. Configure the following settings:

• Protocol: Select "Obvius Building Manager Online™ (default)"
• Upload URL: Enter https://obvius.powerradar.energy/obvius
• Password: Create and note a password (you'll need this for Panoramic)
• Selective Upload: Set to "(all)" to upload all meter data

4. Click Apply to save the configuration

Part 2: Panoramic Platform Configuration

Step 1: Create a Logger in Panoramic

1. Log into your Panoramic site
2. Navigate to Configuration → Bridges & Loggers
3. Click + Add New button
4. Enter the logger details:

• Name and description
• Serial number (from Obvius logger)
• Select the appropriate model

5. Save the logger configuration

Step 2: Add External Meters

1. Navigate to Configuration → External Meters
2. Click + Add Meter button

3. Fill in the meter details:

• Meter name: Descriptive name for the meter
• Meter type: Select appropriate type (e.g., Temperature)
• Associated bridge/logger: Select the Leviton logger created in Step 1
• Channel: Select the configured channel from the logger

4. Configure signal parameters:

For meters with raw data from Leviton:

• Enter the actual unit ranges (e.g., for a temperature sensor: -40°C to 125°C)
• Select appropriate units

For meters with pre-configured ranges in Leviton

• Enable "Use raw min/max values from associated logger configuration"
• For pulse meters, enter the scaling factor if not set to 1 in Obvius

5. Click Save to create the meter

Verification

After completing the configuration:

1. Allow a few minutes for data synchronization
2. Navigate to the Time View application in Panoramic
3. Verify that meter data is being received and displayed correctly

Troubleshooting Tips

• Ensure the Device Address in Leviton matches the configuration in Panoramic
• Verify the upload URL is correctly entered as https://obvius.powerradar.energy/obvius
• Check that the password in both systems matches
• Confirm the logging period is set to 1 minute for optimal data collection
• For analog inputs, ensure the range configuration matches between systems

Best Practices

1. Raw Data Approach: Configure Leviton to send raw input values and set actual unit ranges in Panoramic for flexibility
2. Documentation: Keep a record of device addresses, channel assignments, and scaling factors
3. Testing: Verify each meter individually before configuring multiple channels
4. Naming Convention: Use consistent, descriptive names across both platforms
