Model focus: HDPQ Guide Plus
The HDPQ Guide Plus offers the best price/technology ratio in the series: it includes all the features of the HDPQ Visa Plus and adds optional WLAN, the AnswerModules (e.g. Sag connectivity, PDA, PDA) and the Switching Modules. e.g. sag directivity, PFC capacitor, motor analysis) and a large pre/post-trigger buffer with 10,000 cycles for residual current/inrush current recording. Remote control via VNC & mobile apps, 7″ touch GUI, automatic setups (PQ, Demand & Energy) and robust, safety-oriented design (UL/CE, Arc-Flash-Safety) round off the package.
