Eaton Power Xpert Meters PXM 4000/6000/8000

Innovative. Intuitive. Accurate. Accessible.

The meters combine state-of-the-art technology with ITIC diagnostics,

waveform capture, data trending and performance benchmarking, along

with a “Twist-and-Click” graphic display: a new paradigm for simplicity

and ease of use in the marketplace. The embedded Web server enables

users to surf to the meter over the Internet via a standard Web browser.

The new platform offers advanced functionality like high-speed impulsive

transient capture, 6 MHz sampling rate (100.000 samples per cycle),

anti-aliasing, ITIC analysis and automatic trigger setting, field-upgradeable

firmware, memory up to 8 GB, and optional digital, relay and solid-state I/O.

Three flavors of power monitoring

The Power Xpert Meter 4000

This meter provides all the core functions for monitoring power

consumption and power quality along with 2 GB of data storage.

This unit uses Delta Sigma technology to sample circuits at 4.096

samples per cycle for extremely accurate measurement of power

factor and energy consumption.

The Power Xpert Meter 6000

This meter is geared toward the IT market by providing automatic

trigger settings for IT equipment and plots events on an ITIC

(Information Technology Industry Council) performance curve so

they can be very easily analyzed. In addition, this meter offers a

patented Power Quality Index temperature gauge along with flicker

calculations and 4 GB of data storage.

The Power Xpert Meter 8000

This meter adds the ability to capture very fast transients by

sampling at 6 MHz—100.000 samples per cycle. That’s a sample
