The Bolt is a compact, affordable power quality recorder designed to pinpoint PQ complaint root causes and verify regulatory compliance—even in tight spaces like meter bases, capacitor bank controllers, and other existing enclosures.

Now available with LTE Connectivity, this model integrates an internal LTE modem with an external antenna, delivering reliable remote access without the need for on-site data retrieval. Supporting LTE CAT 1 bis on Verizon bands 4 and 13, it’s 3GPP Rel-14 FDD compliant with peak speeds of up to 10 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. The Cell Bolt features an external SMA connector for antenna flexibility, an internal SIM (PMI-supplied or customer-supplied), and supports both public and private networking.

Bolt Kit Includes:
• Bolt Recorder
• Cell Antenna (with Cell Bolt purchase)
• 3-Channel 9″ Flex CT
• USB Cable
• Voltage Cable (Alligator or Dolphin Clip)
• Mounting Bracket
• Soft Case
