Reliable Power Meters Inc User Training and start-up service - User training for electricians, facility maintenance technicians, and facility engineers. This course is specifically designed for those students who have the day to day responsibility for maintenance or construction of today’s high technology buildings and who are responsible to documents or troubleshoot the power quality at the point of use or from the utility. It is a 1-day class for facilities or engineering staff to "jump start" the use of the RPM monitor. The students should have an electrical background, have completed apprenticeship or technical school and be familiar with basic PC operation, MS Windows, MS Word and MS Excel.
