Basic Systems

A basic system is defined by any of the following characteristics:

  • Factory default measurement logging (logging frequency ≥ 15 minutes)
  • No custom applications
  • No Power Quality Performance monitoring
  • Only a small number of branch circuit monitor devices in the system
  • A mix of device type with approximately:
    • 70% entry level devices (for example iEM3xxx)
    • 20% intermediate level devices (for example PM55xx)
    • 10% advanced level devices (for example ION9000)
