The Dash 8XPM gives you the capabilities of a high end data acquisition recorder and a dedicated power monitoring system in one useful tool. With the Dash 8XPM, you can record power trends, events and transients for days, weeks or months at a time.
| Continuous Display |
|
|
AstroPower™ gives you a
versatile, real-time display of
your data. In addition to seeing
raw power signals, you can
also view power displays,
phase diagrams, phase
displays, harmonics, RMS
displays and sequential
components in real-time.
|
| Monitor and Log Events |
|
|
AstroPower™ allows you to
monitor and log power
anomalies, including power
interrupts, power sags, power
swells, frequency deviations,
harmonics and unbalances in
real-time. An unlimited number
of power events can be logged
to file for later review.
|
| Transient Recording Mode |
|
|
AstroPower™ lets you monitor
and record transients and
glitches for later review and
analysis. Voltage and current transients are sampled
at 200 kHz per channel,
helping you determine
precisely what is wrong with
your power. |
| Review and Analyze Results |
|
|
AstroPower’s™ powerful
review software let’s you
review captured data at the
touch of a button. You can
review raw data, logged
events and transient data. It
even lets redefine events and
rescan captured files for
different events.

AstroPower Review is a versatile offline analysis package that is included with the Dash 8XPM. This offline tool provides the same review functionality as the Dash 8XPM on your personal computer. In addition, AstroPower Review features a comprehensive report generator, which compiles your data into clear, easy-to-read reports and exports them in either ASCII text or Microsoft Excel® format.

Key Features Recently Added to the Dash 8XPM |
• EN50160 Reporting: EN50160 is a European standard that defines the main characteristics of voltage at the customer’s supply terminals. This feature allows the user to make power monitoring recordings with pre-defined set-up defined by EN 50160 and report them using AstroPower Review.
|
• Flicker Meter Reporting: Flicker is a term used to describe a random or continuous voltage fluctuations no more than 10% lower or higher than the normal voltage waveform. This feature allows the user to record and monitor short and long term flicker measurements as defined by International (IEC 61000-4-15) and European (EN 50160) electrical standards.
|
| • AstroPower Review ITIC Plot Reporting: The ITIC (Information Technology Industry Council) plot describes a 120V/60HZ AC input voltage envelope, which typically can be tolerated by most Information Technology Equipment. This feature allows the user to generate an ITIC plot report with D8XPM data using AstroPower Review. |
• Consumption Analysis Tab: Absolute, Active and Reactive energy are now reported in real-time.
• Time Start “Trigger” Feature: This convenient feature allows the user to set a specific start recording time and recording length. |
| • Snapshot Event Zoom: The user can now zoom in to critical portions of transient events by adjusting the time and phase leg voltage/current parameters. |
• Improved Interface: This upgrade provides larger icons and an improved touch screen interface for easy setup, recording and review of critical power monitoring data. |
