The PM7000 portable monitor, the PM7503 panel mounted monitor and the PM7000 Fault Level Monitor have 4 current inputs and 4 voltage inputs while the PM3000 portable monitor has 3 current and 3 voltage inputs. All 4 different models record data using our patented Single Cycle Adaptive Store recording regime whereas the PM7000, PM7503 and PM7000FLM also have 3 other unique and distinct recording regimes:
Single Cycle Adaptive Store:
Measure 32 (PM7000) or 16 (PM3000) recording channels at half cycle intervals, displaying data down to single cycle resolution when interesting events occur during a recording. Each time a deviation from the ‘trend’ occurs the measured data is recorded in more detail, down to as little as a single cycle. Don’t miss anything by having to set thresholds. With Adaptive store you don’t need to, the important detail is captured automatically.
High Speed Auto Ranking Waveform Capture:
Record high speed waveforms on all 8 measurement channels (4 voltage, 4 current) at 1.228 Mega Hz using our PM7000 Turbo model. As with Adaptive Store, no thresholds need to be set as waveforms are captured automatically based on the triggers selected, from Transient, Ring, Notch, Sag, Surge, THD and TH Current. Either record all events or just the worst throughout the recording by choosing ‘Greatest Disturbances’. The PM7000 automatically ranks the waveforms recorded so you can choose to record, for example, the most interesting 50 (selectable) of the particular trigger you have chosen. Once you have looked through the top 10 ranked waveforms, you probably will not want or need to see any more.
General Parameters
Over 470 channels are recorded automatically at a user specified interval during every recording, simultaneously to the other recording regimes described. With intervals from 1 second to 12 hours (many options available), compare against the Standards, get trend data, measure all Voltage or Current harmonics to the 100th order at the same time. Find anything you may have forgotten to record using the Adaptive Store detailed channels. (Interharmonics Option needed for harmonics to the 100th).
Fault Level (PM7000FLM and PM7503FLM only)
Predict prospective Fault Level at the point of attachment by evaluation of normal network behaviour. Determine Peak (10ms) and RMS (selectable, typically 90ms) Upstream Fault Level and Downstream Motor Contribution (10ms) measurements. Potentially see Fault Level change over time depending on the configuration of the network during the recording. For more information click here
Applications for Outram’s Power Master 3 phase Power Monitors
PM7000 (and PM7503 where appropriate)
- Troubleshoot unknown power quality issues in real time as well as through recording analysis
- Benchmark and validate new equipment installations
- Create detailed power quality surveys from templates. G5/4 reporting possible with just a few clicks in our Power Quality Software, Pronto for Windows.
- Monitor long term without revisiting the analyser.
- Speed up critical equipment recovery by monitoring malfunctions if and when they happen.
- General Harmonics Analysis to the 100th Harmonic (individual harmonics measurement to the 127th)
- Solve customer complaints on your network
- Measure in remote locations, powering the unit of Phase A, safe in the knowledge the logger will restart after power interruptions.
- Measure load distortion and imbalance
- Measure for preventive maintenance to prevent equipment malfunction
- Capture Fast Transients, Notches, Rings, Sags, Surges and more
- Capture Power Quality Events with no thresholds set
- Network Characterization
PM7000FLM (and PM7503FLM)
The PM7000FLM (and PM7503FLM) can do all of the above but can also be used to:
- Validate Network Fault Level Models
- Replace weeks of very expensive system modelling with a single recording
- Exploit absent but assumed Generation/Motor Contribution.
- Validate breaker settings.
- Delay/eliminate need for/ network reinforcement.
- Maximise breaker life.
PM3000 applications include
- Troubleshoot unknown power quality issues
- Solve Voltage and Flicker Complaints
- Measure DC
- Carry out energy assessments
- Carry out Load Studies
- Benchmark and Validate New Equipment Installation
- Monitor Long term using FIFO mode
- Measure in remote locations, powering the unit of Phase A, safe in the knowledge the logger will restart after power interruptions
- Measure for preventive maintenance – keep a track on your power quality to detect any problems before they cause your equipment damage or end up in costly down time.
- Network Characterization

I have had the pleasure of working with the Outram's and their Instruments for over 15 years. Their equipment and hire service has never failed. The technical support is second to none and their friendly approach is always appreciated. I have used many alternatives, but for my needs the Ranger PM equipment is the best by far.
Darren Curtis27/07/2023I needed soem support with my Outram kit, and got it within minutes! Can't fault any of them team, but special thanks to Kate for helping me. May i have many more years of service on my PM3000!
Tower Crescent13/10/2021Fantastic equipment. Brilliant onsite support with their G5/5 and Fault Level Monitor equipment.
Simon Lynd08/02/2021I have used Outram Research previously for Power Quality Surveys and G5/4 G5/5 compliance issues. All reports were well presented, on time and well laid out technically. Staff are approachable and customer friendly.
Robert King07/02/2021Whilst under contract to Network Rail [RIDC] Midlands Test Facility at Asfordby, Leicestershire. I was required to investigate the impact on Power Quality of the 25kV Traction Testing being undertaken. I researched suppliers of Power Quality Equipment and on discovering the involvement Outram Research Ltd has with the Electricity Supply Industry I recommended NR engage them to assist in the data collection focussed on NPS [voltage unbalance]. I found that Outram Research had a very thorough understanding of all the issues associated with Power Quality and could supply and connect the appropriate Outram Data Loggers to enable the capture of the data I required. With the data captured I was able to demonstrate the .25kV traction testing imposed far less voltage unbalance on the 132kV network than the DNO anticipated. All the Outram staff I engaged with were extremely knowledgeable not only in the data loggers but also in their application. Outram Research downloaded and filed all the data in a logical manner mailing me the information. I have been so impressed with the company and staff that I recommended Outram Research Ltd to the Network Rail Power Quality department describing my experience with them. R H King.

Rob Weller04/02/2021Have used Outram equipment for a few years now, for power quality investigation work and G5/4 and G5/5 surveys etc. It is quality kit and with good analysis software. There is also a version capable of fault level monitoring. Most of all, a great company to deal with and fantastic support.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 7 reviews
