Introduction

I’m Walter Kurt. I started PMI in 1986 and have owned it and operated it since then. We started out making voltage measurement equipment to replace pen and ink strip chart recorders. And over the last 20 some years, they’ve evolved and probably our most advanced product is the Revolution that you see here.

What Sets the Revolution Apart

There’s lots that separates us from many people. The biggest one is size. The other one is cellphone capabilities. With a gigabyte of memory, waveform capture and transient analysis, you can do tremendous and significant power quality studies with the device.

Cellular Communication in the Field

And then the final thing that we wanted to do was make it so that you could take it out and leave it in the field and communicate with it. So we designed the device itself to have an extra circuit board that could be put into it that gave us a cell modem. And that is what this antenna is all about and allows communications with this device back to ProVision, our application in your office.

Reducing Truck Rolls

So we can turn a problem solving situation into two truck rolls. Take it out and then go get it, instead of sometimes four or five, six different truck rolls. And it can save, if you assume a truck roll costs $1000 a roll, this device can pay for itself in one power quality repair situation.
