Features & Benefits
Cloud-Based Power Quality Monitoring
The Seeker streams continuous PQ data to PMI’s PQ Canvass which offers cloud-based power quality monitoring. Using Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or an optional LTE cellular power monitor configuration, the Seeker streams real-time measurements to the cloud where engineers can view live dashboards, event reports, waveform captures, and long-term interval data from any web browser.
Unlike traditional standalone recorders, the PMI Seeker provides unlimited historical storage through its cloud platform while also maintaining onboard memory for local event recording. Automated alerts notify operators of voltage disturbances, power anomalies, or custom trigger conditions via email or SMS.
Smart Grid and SCADA Integration
Designed for modern utility infrastructure, the Seeker functions as both a smart grid power monitor and a distribution line power monitor. It integrates directly with SCADA systems via DNP or MODBUS power monitor protocols over Wi-Fi, LTE cellular, or Ethernet networks.
This SCADA power quality recorder also supports dual Form C relay outputs (optional) and digital inputs, enabling automated control of distributed generation equipment or monitoring of external field devices.
Advanced Power Quality Measurement
The Seeker delivers high-resolution analysis with RMS measurement across four voltage and four current channels. Sampling at 4,166 samples per cycle, it is a true RMS voltage current recorder and offers detailed harmonic analysis to the 51st order.
Key monitoring capabilities include:
- Voltage sag and swell detection
- Precise power outage event logging
- Flicker monitoring to IEEE 1453
- High-resolution waveform capture functionality
- Loose Neutral
- Waveform Capture
- Optional GPS timestamping for multi-site event correlation
