Tensor Recorder Operation Overview
Using the Tensor Recorder consists of:
●
Installation
●
Initialization
●
Recording,
●
Downloading
●
Analyzing
The Tensor Recorder is initialized with parameters appropriate for the recording session. These parameters
include voltage thresholds, flicker limits, and a graph time interval, among others.
These initialization parameters are set using ProVision PC software or the PQ Canvass website.
When plugged into a standard receptacle, the Tensor Recorder begins a few second countdown during which
the initialization settings are updated.
After the countdown, the Tensor Recorder starts recording using these settings.
Later, after the desired data is recorded, the information from the Tensor Recorder is downloaded into
ProVision. If the Tensor has the cellular option, or a network configured WiFi Tensor, the data may also be
sent to the PQ Canvass website.
ProVision or PQ Canvass is used to analyze the download data.
The Tensor Recorder may be reinitialized for the next recording or initialized at a later time.
With PQ Canvass, graphs or reports can be accessed at any time.
Tensor Recording Options
Standard features include current, power, harmonics, and waveform capture. The current is sampled just like
the voltage channels, 256 times per cycle. These samples are used to create one cycle RMS values, and are
recorded like the voltage channels. No external CTs or clamps are necessary to record current.
The power feature allows the Tensor Recorder to compute and record the power consumed by the load
connected to the built-in receptacle. Real power (watts), reactive power (vars), apparent power (volt-amps),
and power factor are computed for each leg. These are computed using the voltages from line to neutral, and
current through each leg.
The Harmonics and Waveform Capture features give the Tensor Recorder the ability to measure and record
voltage and current harmonics, as well as raw waveform data. graphs of selected voltage and current
harmonics may be recorded, up to the 51st, as well as daily profiles of total harmonic distortion. In addition,
raw voltage and current waveforms may be captured based on trigger conditions set with ProVision. This
option also includes extra memory so that harmonic graphs may be recorded without lessening the total
recording time.
