Frequently Asked Questions

Yes and No. While the Volta Insite system is versatile and can work with nearly any electrical equipment, each Node is specifically calibrated to the nameplate of your equipment. This means that while the Node can be moved from one piece of equipment to another, it requires adjustments to ensure proper functionality.

Yes, you can! Volta Insite offers scalable monitoring solutions that allow you to start with just a few Nodes and add more as your needs grow. This flexibility ensures that your system can expand alongside your operations.

Yes, you can! Volta Insite offers a simple way for you to subscribe to alerts directly through our portal. With your login, you'll gain access to our analytics app, where you can manage your alert preferences.

No, installation of Volta Insite’s monitoring solution requires equipment to be powered down for most applications. This ensures a safe and effective setup, preventing any potential hazards to equipment or personnel during the installation process.

Not at this time. Currently, Volta Insite operates independently to provide high-resolution electrical monitoring and diagnostics. While Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Automation Systems (BAS) excel at managing and automating operations like HVAC, lighting, and energy efficiency, Volta Insite focuses exclusively on delivering precision monitoring and analysis of electrical systems.

Volta Insite makes it easy to stay informed about any issues with your equipment. When an issue arises, alerts are generated internally and then sent directly to you. These alerts typically go through an alert library or alert CU before being passed on to customers.

The simple answer is: you need one Node and one VI Module per critical system being monitored.

Volta Insite offers the flexibility to configure alerts that align with your unique operational requirements. We understand that no two facilities are the same, and the challenges you face may vary depending on your equipment, processes, or industry. That’s why we provide a customizable alerting system that ensures you receive relevant notifications that matter most to your operations.

Yes, the Node from Volta Insite is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). This innovative power solution simplifies installation and ensures seamless integration into your facility’s existing network infrastructure.

To ensure the smooth operation of your Volta Insite monitoring system, the Node and VI Module require a stable internet connection. This connection can be established through various means, including a traditional wired network, a firewall-protected setup, or even over a cellular network for remote sites. By offering multiple connectivity options, Volta Insite ensures that our solutions are adaptable to the needs of diverse industries, from remote installations to highly secure environments.

The Node and VI Module from Volta Insite are engineered for efficiency, consuming less than 10 watts of power. This low power consumption ensures that integrating our monitoring solutions into your facility will have minimal impact on your overall energy usage, aligning with sustainable and cost-effective practices.

The typical network bandwidth requirements for a Volta Insite installation are around 3GB per month. This is sufficient for most standard installations, providing the data transmission needed for continuous monitoring and real-time updates. However, the bandwidth can be tuned down if your facility’s network demands are lower, ensuring that you can customize the system to your specific needs while maintaining optimal performance.

Volta UI is designed to deliver a seamless and reliable experience across all major web browsers, ensuring you can access our platform no matter your preferred browser. Specifically, Volta UI fully supports: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox

The Node is the data acquisition device, while the VI Module is responsible for converting the signals from current transformers (CT) and voltage taps

The Node and VI Module from Volta Insite are designed to operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C. This wide range ensures that our monitoring systems can perform reliably in diverse environments, from cold industrial facilities to warmer outdoor installations.

Volta Insite is designed to monitor virtually any electrical equipment, making it the ideal solution for industrial and commercial facilities. From electric motors to fans, pumps, and compressors, our platform delivers advanced insights into the performance and condition of critical assets.
