Flash D6-1

Energy Analyzer Energy & Harmonics Analyzer u Highest performance u Highest versatility u Highest reliability The Flash D6 is a microprocessor based Energy analyzer with outstanding flexibility and accuracy designed to meet the most demanding applications of electrical parameters analyses and energy supply monitoring in the industrial environment. All the readings are “true-RMS” and they are obtained with a continuous sampling of the voltage and current waveforms in order to ensure the maximum metering accuracy of rapidly varying loads (e.g. spot welding) as well as the instrument’s suitability for energy quality supervision functions. A patented digital measurement system, an automatic scale change on current inputs and a compensation system of the internal amplifiers’ offsets ensure the maximum metering accuracy and stability irrespective of the signal level and the environmental working conditions. The Flash D6 is a revolutionary instrument that may be upgraded after installation to new user needs and to its installation parameters. Two expansion ports make it possible to select the data transmission mode by means of a simple connection of optional modules (RS232, RS485, Analog, I/O) while the instrument architecture is designed to enable the implementation, in the field, at any time, of the harmonics analyses by means of simple code entries operated via front key board. A large high-contrast dot-matrix LCD display with white backlight allows the simultaneous reading of 4 parameters and their symbols with high visibility digits. Voltage Current Power Factor Frequency Harmonic distort. Life time Active power 9 keys, with clear indication of their function, make the instrument use simple and intuitive.. A Led indicator, pulsing with a frequency proportional to the active import power, is also provided on the front panel for field calibration verification by means of external optical devices. Reactive power Apparent power Active energy The Flash D6 is suitable for virtually all type of electrical grid, 3- and 4-wire, symmetrical and asymmetrical, balanced or unbalanced, single- and bi-phase, Low Tension and High Tension, with 1, 2 or 3 CTs as well as for 2 and 4 quadrant (import/export) measurement. A simple keyboard programming allows the setting of all the operational parameters such as grid type, LV/HT, CT and VT ratios (free setting) integration time (1-60 min), alarms (thresholds, delays, hysteresis), digital outputs and configuration of the optional modules that may be connected.
