Installing the MPQ2000 PQ Analyzer WARNING! Be sure to use all appropriate safety equipment when installing the MPQ2000 PQ Analyzer. Failure to do so can result in injury or death. WARNING! Inspect all power cords and wires for proper insulation integrity before connecting to any power source.
Battery Battery Charging Always ensure that the battery is properly charged. It must maintain a 12-volt minimum for proper recording operation. A battery charge indicator on the MPQ2000 display allows you to view the batteries state of charge. NOTE: The battery should be charged prior to recording with the unit powered off. Charging the MPQ2000 Battery The MPQ2000 battery will charge when the unit is powered off of either Phase A or when the unit is powered off of the auxiliary power.
NOTE: Current probes not purchased from Megger require Megger adapters. To install the Power Analyzer using current clamps, plug the selected clamps into the current input connectors (labeled IA, IB, IC, and IN) then clamp around the source to be measured.
Wiring Diagrams for Demand Recording Notes on Wiring Diagrams 1. The Power Analyzer records all voltages and currents that are hooked up providing you have activated channels in the setup. Even though not all channels may be required for the power configurations on the following pages, you can connect them to obtain voltage/current recordings, providing you activate the channel.
