1750 Power Recorder Introduction The Fluke 1750 Power Recorder is a comprehensive yet easy to use system for power quality investigations. The 1750 Power Recorder, referred to hereafter as simply "the Recorder or the Product," consists of a power recorder instrument, a wireless handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for control and setup, and a powerful yet easy to use PC application, Power Analyze. Four 400 A current probes are provided as standard equipment (not included in Basic version). A wide range of flexible and clamp-on current probes are available from Fluke. Key features of the 1750 Power Recorder are: • No PC needed for setup Using the included wireless-enabled Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) as a controller, you do not need a PC to configure the Recorder, troubleshoot connections, preview data, or download the recorded data. Downloaded data goes onto the SD memory card plugged into the 1750, not directly to the PDA. The range of the PDA with the wireless link is about 5 meters (16 feet) from the Recorder. This range is dependent on the electrical interference in the location. • Simplified test lead connections to the power network Simply connect a voltage probe to a conductor on each phase that you want to record. On the current inputs, the Recorder automatically identifies what type of probe is connected. The Recorder then configures its measurement system appropriately for the model of current probe you are using. • Connection diagrams for the supported power network configurations (delta, Wye, and others) appear on the handheld PDA controller. Once you make connections, you can view live readings and a phasor diagram on the PDA to confirm the connections. If a phase channel is wired incorrectly, you can swap the phase to another channel by changing an internal Recorder setting using the PDA, and then reconfirm correct readings. • Internal Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) An internal NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) battery pack and charging system maintain data capture continuity through power interruptions of approximately 5 minutes or less. 1

Power Recorder
Introduction
The Fluke 1750 Power Recorder is a comprehensive yet easy to use system for power
quality investigations. The 1750 Power Recorder, referred to hereafter as simply “the
Recorder or the Product,” consists of a power recorder instrument, a wireless handheld
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for control and setup, and a powerful yet easy to use PC
application, Power Analyze. Four 400 A current probes are provided as standard
equipment (not included in Basic version). A wide range of flexible and clamp-on current
probes are available from Fluke.
Key features of the 1750 Power Recorder are:
•
No PC needed for setup
Using the included wireless-enabled Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) as a controller,
you do not need a PC to configure the Recorder, troubleshoot connections, preview
data, or download the recorded data. Downloaded data goes onto the SD memory
card plugged into the 1750, not directly to the PDA. The range of the PDA with the
wireless link is about 5 meters (16 feet) from the Recorder. This range is dependent
on the electrical interference in the location.
•
Simplified test lead connections to the power network
Simply connect a voltage probe to a conductor on each phase that you want to record.
On the current inputs, the Recorder automatically identifies what type of probe is
connected. The Recorder then configures its measurement system appropriately for
the model of current probe you are using.
•
Connection diagrams for the supported power network configurations (delta, Wye,
and others) appear on the handheld PDA controller. Once you make connections, you
can view live readings and a phasor diagram on the PDA to confirm the connections.
If a phase channel is wired incorrectly, you can swap the phase to another channel by
changing an internal Recorder setting using the PDA, and then reconfirm correct
readings.
•
Internal Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
An internal NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) battery pack and charging system
maintain data capture continuity through power interruptions of approximately
5 minutes or less.
