The Miro Auxiliary I/O Module is a peripheral device that connects to the Miro range of products to augment existing input channels with additional input and output channels (I/O) to expand the applicability of the Miro instruments. This facilitates easy and straightforward monitoring of assets at a fraction of the cost, compared to dedicated, standalone systems. A typical application would be condition monitoring of transformers where transformer condition monitoring measurements, e.g. hydrogen and moisture in oil measurements can be monitored, together with power quality measurements.
The system can accommodate multiple channels, which can be a combination of analogue and digital inputs and outputs.
Using Citrus, CHK PQ’s proprietary software, logged data from all I/O channels can be displayed together with Power Quality metrics, enabling the user to easily draw correlation amongst measurements.
The Miro PQ Switch is a power quality logger and analyser with a fast relay output (switch) that is triggered by user settable power quality thresholds. The thresholds for switching include voltage, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and frequency. The Miro PQ Switch can energise circuits, solenoids, contactors etc. to initiate follow up action. An example application is an emergency supply changeover scheme. This is where normal supply fails and the switch enables changeover to an emergency supply. When normal supply recovers, the instrument automatically switches back to normal supply. The Miro PQ Switch provides logged event information as to the cause of the switchover. Switching times are very fast, typically 10ms. The Miro PQ Switch is an intelligent device that can be configured to prevent nuisance and repetitive switching operations by progressively delaying switchback times. The fast switching ensures continued normal operation of downstream equipment, thereby eliminating system downtime.
The Miro Points Condition Monitor (versions for pneumatic and electric points available) is a self-learning instrument that monitors electric or pneumatic point operation metrics, e.g. voltage, current, pressure and flow rate, identifies operation abnormalities and automatically alerts personnel to impending faults and failure modes, allowing early detection and resolution of issues and subsequently improving train operating hours and facilitating condition based maintenance, rather than time based.
Alerts are sent via email, and include a graphic representation of the operation which allows personnel to quickly identify specific abnormalities, and deploy field staff with necessary spares to quickly rectify the problem. All data is collected and analysed by AsMoSys, a CHK PQ proprietary database solution.

The Mirrin Multi Channel Load Logger (MLL) is a battery powered instrument that measures AC RMS load current on up to four channels. It is ideal for monitoring loads on transformers, motors, and switchboards and helps identify load profiles or trends and can be used to identify slow changing events such as long duration interruptions and outages.
The MLL is also useful as a diagnostic tool to assess load sharing on single phase circuits and load balancing on three phase systems.
The MLL incorporates a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the maximum current measurement logged in each channel, together with the date and time stamp and is therefore ideal for use as a Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI). One Mirrin Load Logger can replace the three electromechanical MDIs that are normally used on padmount or pole top transformers. The maximum current reading is based on the instantaneous readings with a sixty-second exponential time constant.
The MLL is generally asleep and wakes up four times a second and takes a measurement by sampling the input. The aggregated measurements are committed to memory (logged). Battery life is normally four months and can be extended to twelve months when used in the ‘power saving’ mode.
The Mirrin Load Logger is designed specifically for Electrical Distribution businesses to measure and monitor load and maximum demand currents in electrical networks. They are an integral part of an Electrical Distribution business to monitor and track the loading on its assets, so that maintenance, operation and network planning activities can be optimised.
The Mirrin Load logger is housed in an IP65 rated, polycarbonate weatherproof box and can be mounted using the provided backplate and magnetic feet. A soft rubber holster provides impact resistance. Real time readings can be viewed using WIFI and the Citrus Lite app (available in Android and iOS versions). Users can download data and configure the unit using WIFI or via the communications port.
