Product presentation

The "all-terrain" Qualistar for all seasons! The Qualistar Plus power and energy quality analyser is ideal for quick network quality checks and effective analysis of the results.

EVEN MORE ! New CA 8436 Qualistar+ includes major new functions:

  • Inrush over a period of up to 10 minutes
  • Integration of all the DC components
  • Calculation of the distortion voltages and currents
  • Measurement of P, Q, S and D power values, total and per phase
  • Calculation of Pst & Plt flicker values
  • Large choice of units available: kW, Joule, nuclear toe, non-nuclear toe, BTU, etc.
  • Up to 40 alarms can be set simultaneously!
  • Recording mode: recording starts immediately
  • Specially designed to save time!
  • Ideal for the needs of inspection and maintenance departments, the Qualistar models are designed for quick verification of network quality and simple processing of the results.
  • The keyboard is divided into immediately-identifiable areas (direct functions, Pop-up menus, cursor, etc.) and the wide colour screen (diagonal 148 mm) uses the same pictograms as the keyboard. The display modes are structured. These direct-access functions help save extra time.

Specific caps have been developed to ensure that the CA 8436 analyser is waterproof.

New! Breakdown of the reactive power values, with the concept of non-active power (N), distorting power (D) and reactive power (Q1).

The PAT software allows you to control single-phase wattmeters and energy analysers, as well as clamp meters.

The PAT software is a tool that enables you to:

  • Configure the devices,
  • Download and view data stored in memory,
  • Take instantaneous readings,
  • Display data in tabular or graphical form,
  • Export this measurement data to DataView (*.dvb files) or to a spreadsheet.

For the CA 8220/8230, CA 8332/32B/34/34B, CA 8335/8435 (embedded software versions v3.x) and F407/F607, use PAT. The main updates to PAT are:

  • Various bug fixes.

The PAT 2 software enables you to control single-phase wattmeters and energy analysers, as well as clamp meters.

The PAT 2 software is a tool that enables you to:

  • Configure the devices,
  • Download and view data stored in memory,
  • Take instantaneous readings,
  • Display data in tabular or graphical form,
  • Export this measurement data to DataView (*.dvb files) or to a spreadsheet.

For the CA 8331/33/36, CA 8436 and CA 8335 (embedded software version v4.x), use PAT 2. The main updates in PAT 2 are:

  • Addition of a Bulgarian translation
  • Various bug fixes.
The Qualistar+ & CA 8230 Recording Duration Calculator
Available in French and English, this tool allows you to simulate the possible recording duration of QualistarPlus devices.
The user selects the device and the parameters they wish to record, as well as the acquisition interval.
The possible recording duration, based on an empty memory, and the end date are automatically calculated and displayed.

The devices covered are:

  • CA 8336
  • CA 8436
  • CA 8333
  • CA 8331
  • CA 8335

==> From version v4.x onwards

  • CA 8230

Some information on the devices’ other storage capacities (alarms, snapshots, etc.) is also displayed.

Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4, which is required to run the Trend Duration Calculator.

USB - Serial adapter ((USB-RS232)
