The installation procedure consists of: 1. Charging the units battery prior to use. 2. Ensure that the MPQ1000 PQ Analyzer is not exposed to water, excessive dust, and other hazardous conditions. The MPQ1000 PQ Analyzer is not meant for outdoor use.
NiMH batteries within the unit. Plug the AC adapter into the MPQ1000 unit using the DC input jack. Then plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet (110V-240VAC 50Hz/60Hz). The battery should fully charge in approximately 2 hours.
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 then clamp around the source to be measured. An arrow on the current clamp indicates the direction of the load.
The third voltage and current can be connected to the Power Analyzer but will be recorded as RMS data only, providing you activate the channels. CAUTION Inspect all power cords and wires for proper insulation integrity before connecting to any power source. MPQ1000-UG-EN Rev 6 April 2020 1.800.544.2843 www.calcert.com sales@calcert.com...
