Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Megger MPQ1000 PQ Power Analyzer. Be assured that your unit has been designed with emphasis on reliability, simplicity and ease of use. It will provide you with the information you need to investigate customer power quality complaints and compliance situations, verify billing, and pinpoint locations of high demand and power consumption.
Notify Megger of any shortages. Examine the contents for damage received during transit. If any damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier at once and notify Megger or it’s nearest authorized sales representative, giving a detailed description of the damage.
This is accomplished by creating a setup on a computer using Power Quality Software and uploading it to the Megger MPQ1000 Power Quality Analyzer. Each unit can store up to 90 user-defined setups. Should you need to change setups on site, you may select any of your programmed setups using the Power Analyzer’s front panel...
