Features and Benefits
The Boomerang Pole Mount Voltage and Current Meter is designed to provide utilities with improved visibility into overhead distribution system performance through reliable, real-time field monitoring. Installed directly on utility poles, the device continuously captures voltage, current, power, frequency, and other critical operating data, enabling utilities to identify developing issues before they escalate into larger operational problems. One-second values and user-defined averages provide detailed system insight while supporting both operational awareness and long-term analysis.
Configurable voltage, current, and power thresholds allow utilities to tailor monitoring parameters to specific feeder conditions and operational requirements. Instant alerts can automatically send email or text message alerts for threshold exceedances, outages, or other abnormal events, helping crews respond quickly and reduce downtime. Simultaneously comparing real-time voltage, current, and power measurements from multiple locations enables utilities to identify correlations across a distribution system and better understand feeder behavior under varying load conditions.
Its low-profile, unobtrusive form factor supports deployment in virtually any pole-mounted location while minimizing installation complexity and visual impact. The Boomerang Pole Mount is also optimized for low-cost telemetry data plans, helping utilities reduce communications costs while maintaining continuous system visibility.
Integrated DNP3 functionality supports seamless SCADA integration through TCP or UDP cellular connections. Flexible unsolicited report-by-exception triggers allow the device to work effectively with CVR and DMS systems, while analog DNP3 points provide access to RMS voltage, current, power, frequency, and modem signal strength data.
Because PMI’s data analysis software is browser-based, no software downloads are required. Utilities can easily manage user accounts, configure preferences, and set up distribution lists while securely accessing monitoring data from virtually anywhere.
