Based in beautiful Walnut Creek, California, Summit Technology
was incorporated in 1992 when it introduced the first of its PowerSight family
of power analyzers. From the beginning, PowerSight
products have been guided by these principles:
- Portability. All models weigh less than 2 pounds
(<1kg) and fit comfortably in one hand. They are
powered off of
rechargeable batteries and can last for many hours.
- Ease of Use. A sign of advanced technology is an
instrument that is easy to use. Our manuals are small and
easy to read. The instruments and our PSM software are both intuitive to you
meaning that a training class is not required to put the instruments to use.
- Forgiving. We make our equipment and accessories
in ways that make it difficult to make mistakes. From
automatic identification of current probes to a commitment to
having no disposable batteries, we keep your mind on what you
are trying to accomplish instead of on our equipment.
- Support. Our deluxe warranty is the best in the
industry. Trained technical personnel are available via
telephone and email for rapid response. Instruments
returned for repair or upgrade are generally turned around in 2
days.
- For all your needs. Our meters have the
industry's widest array of accessories and modes of operation.
Whether your need is to measure down to 5ma or up to 6,000amps,
1V to a direct connection to 15,000V we have the accessory for
you. DC, 400Hz, spectrum analysis to 100kHz, water-proof
mounting... all are available and more are to come.
- Compatibility. With few exceptions, all
accessories and software can can be used with all members of the
PowerSight family. You can mix and match our meters and
accessories on your jobs and grow your capabilities over time.
Customers who maintain their deluxe warranties a given free
upgrades of software and firmware to allow there meters to
remain compatible with our latest models.
PowerSight meters are in use in all continents (including
Antarctica) and have been supplied in seven languages.
They are the world leader in compact true three-phase energy
analysis.

The model PS3000 was introduced in 1992 and has been continually
upgraded in software and hardware since then. Although it
looks the same, it has gone through six generations of
improvement over that time. It is dramatically more
capable than the original version and is a proven stable product
relied on by professionals throughout the world.
The model PS250 was introduced in 2002. It is optimized
for power logging. It has a simplified user interface and
an exciting entry price. It introduced several new
features such as the SureStart™ Logging
feature that uses
artificial intelligence to determine if the settings and
connections are correct when it is turned on.
The model PS4000 was introduced in 2003. It is a high end
power quality analyzer that retains the small size of the other
PowerSight models. It extends the capabilities of the
PS3000 in analysis of harmonics, swells, dips, high speed
transients, frequency spectrum, and on-line motor performance.
Its capabilities compare favorably with any instrument at any
price.
There is always more to be done. We here
at Summit Technology are committed to delivering the features,
accessories, and software you want to do the job you do.
If there is a feature or accessory that you would like to see
added or modified, please let us know.
