Introduction - Fluke 1750 Getting Started Manual

Introduction

The Fluke 1750 Power Recorder is a comprehensive yet easy to use system for
power quality investigations. The 1750 Power Recorder, referred to hereafter
as simply "the Recorder", consists of a power recorder instrument, a wireless
handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for control and setup, and a
powerful yet easy to use PC application, Power Analyze. Four 400 A current
probes are provided as standard equipment (not included in Basic version). A
wide range of flexible and clamp-on current probes are available from Fluke.
Key features of the 1750 Power Recorder are:
•
No PC needed for setup
Using the included wireless-enabled Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
as a controller, you do not need a PC to configure the Recorder,
troubleshoot connections, preview data, or download the recorded
data. Downloaded data goes onto the SD memory card plugged into
the 1750, not directly to the PDA. The range of the PDA with the
wireless link is about 5 meters (16 feet) from the Recorder.
•
Simplified test lead connections to the power network
Simply connect a voltage probe to a conductor on each phase that you
want to record. On the current inputs, the Recorder automatically
identifies what type of probe is connected. The Recorder then
configures its measurement system appropriately for the model of
current probe you are using.
•
Connection diagrams for the supported power network configurations
(delta, Wye, and others) appear on the handheld PDA controller.
Once you make connections, you can view live readings and a phasor
diagram on the PDA to confirm the connections. If a phase channel is
wired incorrectly, you can swap the phase to another channel by
changing an internal Recorder setting using the PDA, and then
reconfirm correct readings.
