    Valhalla Model 2105. Instrument Identification Valhalla Scientific instruments are identified by a two part serial number. The Serial Tag is located on the rear or bottom of the instrument. The number is in a form of 00-0000. The first two digits, called the serial number prefix, indicate the model.
  • Page 10: Chapter 2 Unpacking And Installing

    If the unit fails to operate, notify the carrier's agent and the nearest Valhalla Sales Office. Retain the shipping carton for the carrier's inspection. DO NOT return equipment to Valhalla Scientific or any of its sales offices prior to obtaining authorization to do so.
  • Page 11: Rack Mounting

    Rack Mounting An optional kit is available for mounting the 2105 in a standard 19" equipment rack. This is listed in Section 4 of this manual. Follow the installation diagram included with the kit. If the 2105 is to be transported while mounted in a rack then it must be supported so as to prevent upward and downward movement.

  • Page 15: Chapter 5 Operations

    Chapter 5 Operations General This section of the manual contains complete operating instructions for the Model 2105 Digital Power Analyzers. Included are control functions, connection methods, and operational precautions. Front Panel Controls The functions of all front panel controls and indicators are described in the following paragraphs.
  • Page 16: Peak Volt Overload Indicator

    5.2.6 Peak Volt Overload Indicator This indicator may be used to alert the user to the presence of spikes on the input signal. If the peak or steady-state voltage applied to the load is greater than 250% of the range selected with the Voltage Range Key, the "Volts O/L"...
  • Page 17: Rear Panel Controls

    Rear Panel Controls The locations of the rear panel controls are shown in Figure 5-1. The function of the 115V/230V switch and power cord receptacle were covered in section 2-3. It is important to connect the load in accordance with the L (line) and N (neutral) indications on the rear panel for maximum safety and accuracy.
  • Page 18: Using Option X-21

    Figure 5-2 | 2105 Connections using the X-21 5.4.2 Using CT’s and PT’s Current and potential transformers (CT's and PT's) may be used with any Valhalla Digital Power Analyzer to increase its measurement range. Clamp-on CT's may also be used to simplify power analyzer connections.
  • Page 19: Potential Transformers

    Figure 5-3 | 2105 Connections using a CT Figure 5-4 | 215 Connections using a PT 5.4.2.2 Potential Transformers Potential transformers (PT's) are used to extend the voltage measurement capabilities of Valhalla digital power analyzers. PT's are available in many ratios, maximum voltage ratings and isolation voltages.
  • Page 20: Using Both Ct's And Pt's

    PT's can be used to isolate the digital power analyzer from high voltage systems. Some high voltage systems operate at voltage levels directly measurable by the power analyzer but at common-mode voltages beyond the power analyzer's limits. The isolation voltage rating should be at least 1 ½ times the common-mode voltage or peak input voltage.
  • Page 21: Manipulating The Data

    Manipulating the Data The 2105 directly measures the voltage, current and power used by a single-phase system. Volt-Amperes (VA), Reactive Volt-Amperes (VAR), power factor (PF), and phase angle (φ) are not displayed but can easily be calculated from the voltage, current and power measurements. The following paragraphs describe the methods for calculating VA, VAR, PF, and φ.
  • Page 22: Pf, Leading Or Lagging

    5.5.2 PF, Leading or Lagging? The terms leading and lagging power factor refer to the relative phase shift between the current and voltage waveforms. The current leads the voltage in a capacitive load while the current lags the voltage in an inductive load. When calculating power factor using a 2105, there is no way of determining whether the voltage waveform is leading or lagging the current.
  • Page 23: Chapter 6 Routine Maintenance

    If required, the 2105 interior may be cleaned by blowing with dry compressed air. If the 2105 has become heavily soiled with dirt or by other contaminants it is recommended that the unit be completely overhauled. Contact your local Valhalla Scientific Service Center for details.
  • Page 24: Calibration

    Calibration The following procedures should be performed at routine intervals to ensure that the Power Analyzer remains within specified limits. In addition, calibration should be performed following repairs involving accuracy determining components. Remove the top cover from the unit to gain access to the internal adjustments. The locations of the adjustments are listed on the circuit board and on drawing number 2105-600 at the back of this manual.

Spare parts may be ordered from your nearest Valhalla Scientific Service Center by referring to the Valhalla part number listed in the Parts List section at the back of this manual. Please provide the type and serial number of the instrument with your order.
  • Page 29: Finding The Faulty Component

    7.1.2 Finding the Faulty Component WARNING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT INSIDE THE 2105 Experience has shown that apparent malfunctions are often the result of misinterpretation of the specifications or operating procedures of the unit. Check to be sure that the cables and other test equipment are in good order before attempting to repair the 2105.
  • Page 30: Detailed Circuit Descriptions

    The output of the voltage amplifier and the output of the current amplifier stage are applied to individual inputs of the power converter. The output of the power converter is passed through a scaler controlled by the voltage range relays. Again, scaling is necessary since the full-scale output of the voltage amplifier is the same on all ranges.
  • Page 31: Power Supply

    7.3.1 Power Supply Schematic 2105-070 sheet 1. S1 is the front panel toggle switch that connects one side of the power line to one end of the primary windings of transformer T1. The other end of the primary windings is permanently connected to the other side of the line.
  • Page 32: Current Amplifiers And Scaling

    The switches connected to the arms of the potentiometers in this voltage divider are other sections of the range relays that close simultaneously with those in the feedback circuit of U9. The output of U11 is scaled down through the divider to 0.6 volts for the 600 volt range, 0.3 volts for the 30 and 300 volt range and 1.5 volts for the 150 volt range, with the potentiometers RV15 through RV17 providing the line calibration adjustments.
  • Page 33 U7-1 has a gain of 25 and the amplifiers that follow, U7-7 and U8-6, have a constant gain of 10 when properly adjusted with RV6 and RV7. The output of U7-1, U7-7 and U8-6 are each connected to one contact of the "Current" switch. The other contact is connected to its counterparts so that the selected output is applied to the true RMS-DC converter, U11, when "Amps"...
  • Page 34: Peak Detector/Indicators

    7.3.4 Peak Detector/Indicators Schematic 2105-070 sheet 2 & 3. When the voltage applied to the rear panel terminals exceeds 250% of the selected voltage range, the peak voltage indicator illuminates. This signals that the displayed voltage and power value may not be accurate and that spikes may be present on the input signal. An identical circuit provides a visual signal when the current to the load exceeds 250% of the selected current range.
