PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
The PQube 3 Can be Installed in These Configurations:
Snap onto DIN-rail
Probably the most common way to install a PQube 3, typically used for semiconductor equipment, large medical MRI’s and CT’s, elevator controls, wind turbine nacelles, etc. This is the least expensive, most compact, and simplest installation.
Use your own DIN rail enclosure
If you want your PQube 3 in its own enclosure, either because you don’t have room in your electric panel or you want your PQube 3 to be more visible and accessible, then mount it inside a standard DIN rail enclosure. It’s your easiest and least expensive option.
Pre-wired rugged pole-mount
Perfect for distribution line monitoring. The enclosure is IP44 rated, vented for temperature reduction, made from non-corrosive polycarbonate, and the stainless steel pole-mount brackets make for a quick and secure installation. The cellular modem ready option is ideal for collecting data where Ethernet connectivity is often unavailable. Power can be taken from the monitored line, or from a separate instrument power line.
Pre-wired rugged wall-mount
When a rugged indoor or outdoor wall-mount installation is required, this product is perfect. The enclosure is IP44 rated, it’s vented for warmer conditions, and you have a hinged window for viewing or accessing the PQube 3’s full color touchscreen display. Quick-connect terminal blocks make wiring simple, and the cellular modem ready option helps simplify data collection.
Portable
If you’re moving from site to site, this is what you need! It’s a PQube 3 in a compact enclosure with safety-shrouded clip-on fused banana voltage leads. All connections are pluggable, and there’s even an option enabling internal mounting of a cellular modem – so you don’t have to connect to the customer’s network, which can be a real IT challenge. Just add some of our split-core or flexible current sensors, and you are ready to go. Perfect for field service.
19-inch rack-mount: special single phase rack mounts
A good choice for data centers and substations. PSL can supply special single-phase rack mounts with plug-in connectors for pairs of PQube 3’s, or just a single PQube 3.
Semi-Custom
PSL can supply special enclosures and wiring for your needs. Here’s an example: A major shipboard needed multiple PQube 3s in a single, pre-wired, IP-rated enclosure.
