Power recorder interfaces with PDAs

17 March 2010 Test & Measurement

Fluke’s 1750 is a power recorder designed to provide users with long-term visibility into installation and distribution systems to address intermittent or hard-to-diagnose power quality issues.

The instrument features a unique capture algorithm that enables users to record every measurement on every event and cycle without first applying thresholds. Its built-in wireless PDA interface provides a window into what the instrument is recording and enables remote configuration in awkward test locations. The recorder eliminates the time-consuming, complex setups and blind spots associated with threshold-driven equipment by enabling users to apply thresholds after data is collected.

Fluke’s Power Analyser software enables easy analysis of captured data and rapidly generates reports- the new EN50106 power quality data compliance report is created automatically. The unit requires only single-lead voltage connections; automatically detects, scales and powers current probes; and automatically begins recording once power is applied. The Bluetooth PDA interface enables users to view waveform displays, meter screens and phasor diagram in realtime. Users can also swap the channel internally without reconnecting wires and control multiple 1750s from a distance.

The power recorder is designed to provide a complete analysis of power quality, harmonics, flicker, power and energy with cross-channel current and voltage triggering on 10 input channels simultaneously. The snapshot mode enables users to analyse waveforms at defined intervals, and flag events in the data stream with notes in voice, data or photo format using a PDA.
