Equipment Search Guide
Don't hunt for equipment. Discover it. Pharos utilizes a professional, attribute-first search protocol that lets you find the exact equipment you need in milliseconds.
Explore & Specify Equipment
Discover food service equipment models using the interactive web interface. The search page provides intuitive visual filtering to isolate options by category, manufacturer, or connection requirements.
Utilize the high-performance WebGL preview canvas to inspect 3D models before downloading. Interactively verify physical dimensions, clearance boundaries, and electrical parameters (voltage, phase, amperage) to ensure alignment with facility constraints.
Insert Directly into Revit
Integrate verified models directly into your projects without leaving your CAD environment. Pair your workstation securely via device WebAuthn pairing at /login to establish local authority.
Use the Revit Plugin sync button to fetch lightweight, metadata-rich Revit families, automatically placing them in your design workspace with full electrical and mechanical connector properties populated.
Query Data via the CLI
For power-users and automation pipelines, the Pharos CLI provides a direct, attribute-first syntax for querying the global equipment database.
The Basic Query
Search for equipment by manufacturer or model name directly.
Physical Properties
Narrow down results with voltage, phase, or physical dimensions to match utility configurations.
Wildcard Cheat Sheet
* (Asterisk)Zero or more characters
"Hob*" finds "Hobart".
