Features & Benefits
The Boomerang 2S Standard Socket Meter provides a practical solution for utilities seeking to monitor both voltage and current using a familiar socket-based installation. Its design allows for quick deployment in standard meter sockets, reducing installation time and minimizing disruption to existing infrastructure. This makes it particularly useful for applications where rapid setup and reliable data collection are required.
With a voltage input range of 80–300V RMS and an accuracy of 0.50%, it delivers dependable voltage measurements across typical operating conditions. Current measurement capability supports total measurements up to 0-400A RMS (200A per leg), providing visibility into load behavior at service points. A current accuracy of 1% ensures reliable data for system analysis, while optional power measurement capability adds additional insight when required.
The inclusion of a standard LTE cell modem enables remote communication, allowing utilities to access data without on-site intervention. Designed for field conditions, the unit operates within a temperature range of -22°F to 130°F and is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for environmental protection. Its compact dimensions and socket-based configuration support efficient installation while enabling ongoing monitoring in utility distribution systems.
The Boomerang 2S also includes a full-featured DNP3 interface, optimized for demand management and conservation voltage regulation (CVR/DMS) systems. It supports multiple configurable thresholds, both unsolicited report-by-exception and polled modes, and analog and binary DNP3 points for RMS voltage, current, power, frequency, and modem signal strength — all delivered through a TCP or UDP cellular connection to your SCADA system.
The Boomerang 2S also interfaces with PQ Canvass, PMI’s web-based data analysis platform. With PQ Canvass, historical data is available in a browser through graphs and reports, making it easy to analyze voltage trends and regulator responses across geographic regions. PQ Canvass can also be configured to send email and text alerts based on voltage, current, and power events, for immediate action outside your SCADA system. When paired with PQ Canvass, the Boomerang 2S collects data on a one-second basis; every few minutes, one-second RMS values are sent to the PMI data center. Data collection is continuous — no data is stored on the Boomerang, and no recording download operation is required. Because PQ Canvass is browser-based, no software downloads are required, and utilities can easily manage user accounts, configure preferences, and set up distribution lists while securely accessing monitoring data from virtually anywhere.
