4400 description
quality meter/monitor. This cutting-edge power quality instrument is designed with a
color liquid crystal display (LCD) 1/4 VGA, using touch screen technology. It can
monitor, record and display data on four voltage channels and four current channels
simultaneously.
The 4400 is designed to meet both the IEEE 1159 and IEC 61000-4-30 Class A
standards for accuracy and measurement requirements. It can also monitor EN50160
compliance based on the EN (European) Standards. The statistical package called
Quality of Supply (QOS) is built into the 4400, with monitoring and setup protocols set
to determine voltage measurement compliance required for EN50160 monitoring.
European standard EN50160 requires that measurement parameters must be within a
specified percentage for 95% of the time.
The firmware for the 4400 is contained on internal FLASH memory. It has an operating
4400 Firmware
system capable of performing multiple applications. When an updated version of the
firmware is released, the user can upgrade the internal program by putting the latest
4400 firmware program card in the appropriate slot of the mainframe. See page 1-10
for instructions on how to upgrade the 4400 firmware from a data card.
The 4400 firmware can monitor power quality phenomena for troubleshooting and/or
compliance purposes. It can record inrush conditions, carry out long-term statistical
studies to establish performance baselines, and perform field-based equipment testing
and evaluation for commissioning and maintenance. The firmware integrates an
intuitive instrument setup procedure to ensure the capture of all relevant data for
additional post process analysis, report writing, and data archiving using other
compatible Dranetz software applications such as NodeLink
This manual contains instructions for operating the Dranetz PowerGuide 4400.
