HDPQ Xplorer provides nine monitoring modes of operation from which to monitor
and capture data relevant to the user application.
Action...
STEP 1: Press the Monitor Mode tab
or from the Nominal & Frequency
screen, press Next.
•
The different monitoring mode
setups are displayed. Check to
select the desired monitoring
mode, then press the Trigger
Limits tab or press Next.
•
To return to the Nominal Values
screen, press Previous .
• Pressing Exit will prompt the Exit
Setup screen where you can either
accept the setup changes (proceed
with monitoring) or not. You can
also use the instrument as a meter,
retaining setup changes without
turning monitoring on.
Standard Power Quality (IEEE/IEC) optimizes the instrument to collect data for
troubleshooting using standard power quality parameters, with numerous trigger
conditions set. The threshold for an interruption in IEEE Std 1159 is 10% of nominal
while in IEC 61000-4-30 it is 1% of nominal.
Inrush Current is ideal for recording motor start-up and inrush conditions. This
setting is used when recording is triggered on change in current with longer cycle-by-
cycle waveform capture than Standard Power Quality.
Fault Recorder is similar to Inrush but with a voltage trigger.
Energy & Demand Audits monitor demand and energy parameters for energy audits,
efficiency studies and cost reduction programs.
Long-term Timed Readings (long time recordings) set the instrument to use periodic
measurements only. This setting is used for long-term statistical studies and
benchmarking field-based equipment testing and evaluation. No triggers are set so only
trended values are available.
Continuous Data Logging (short intervals) sets the instrument to log rms and power
values once per x seconds until memory is filled or for specified time period.
Voltage Compliance (EN50160) monitors and reports Quality of Supply (QOS)
compliance as specified by the EN50160 standard.
Motor Quality sets up the parameters that affect the operation of motors.
You can override the default settings in any of the above monitoring modes to
customize the instrument to your application.
