2 Table 1. Symbols Symbol Description W Important information. See manual X Hazardous voltage P Conforms to requirements of European Union Identifications Figure 1 identifies different measurement categories (CAT). emv01.wmf Figure 1. CAT Identifications Qualified Personnel Adequate qualifications are the following: • Training and authorization to switch on/off, earth ground, and mark power distribution circuits and devices in accordance with the safety standards of electrical engineering • Training or instruction in accordance with the standards of the safety engineering in the maintenance and use of appropriate safety equipment • Training in first aid Safe Operation For safe operation of the instrument: • Ensure that all persons using the device have read and fully understood the operating manual and safety instructions • The device may only be used under certain ambient conditions. Ensure that actual conditions conform to the admissible conditions outlined in the "Technical Data" chapter of the Users Manual

Safety Information 3 • During operation, ensure the free circulation of air around the instrument to prevent heat accumulation inside the housing • Refer to and comply with instructions in Users Manual chapter "Transport and Storage" before packing and transporting the Recorder Note Do not use the device for any other purpose than the measuring of voltages and currents that are within the specified ranges and categories, including voltage to earth ground. Refer to the Users Manual for detailed specifications. Improper use shall void all warranties. Electrical Connections • Ensure that the protective earth ground connectors for both the power lead and the housing earth ground are connected according to the instructions for the low-resistance unit earth cable • Ensure that the power and connecting cables, as well as all accessories used in conjunction with the device, are clean and in proper working order • Install the Recorder so that its power cable is accessible at all times and can easily be disconnected. If this is not possible, a two-pole circuit breaker with a nominal current (mentioned in the documentation following), must be installed in the power supply lines • For hazardous voltage connection work, do not work alone. Work in teams of at least two persons • Do not use the device if the housing or an operating element is damaged Permitted Accessories • Use only the accessories supplied with the Recorder or optional equipment specific to your model • Ensure that any third-party accessories used with the Recorder conform to IEC 61010-031/-2-032 standard and are suitable for the respective measuring voltage range Risks during Recorder Operation • Ensure that the connected devices work properly

Instrument Label emv03.bmp Figure 3. Battery Label

Preparing to Use the Recorder 5 W X Warning Connect the supply cable of the device only to sections CAT I, II or III of the supply system (For details refer to Identifications section) and the voltage to earth should not exceed 300 V. Input Voltage – Measuring Inputs The measurement category (refer to the “Identifications” section) and the maximum voltage to earth ground from the sensors must conform to the power supply system. Refer to “Inscription” and “Technical Specifications” section. Protection IP50 Preparing to Use the Recorder Before you use the Recorder, carefully inspect the packaging and contents to ensure that there is no damage. Note Depending on the configuration you ordered, Flexi-Set probes and voltage sensors may not be part of the standard equipment. An internal transient capture option (factory installed only) is another configuration that is determined at time of order. Verify the shipment is complete using the following list: • Fluke 1760 Power Quality Analyzer • Carrying Bag • Flexi-Set probes and voltage sensors • 1 standard power cord, with set of country- specific power plugs • Getting Started Manual • CD-ROM with application software, manuals, data sheets, and sample data • 1 crossover Ethernet cable for direct-PC connection (grey cable with red RJ45 plugs) • 1 Ethernet cable for network connection (grey cable) • 1 null-modem RS232 connection cable (red cable)

6 Using the Recorder The Recorder measures variables in power quality; you analyze the recorded data using PQ Analyze software, included on the CD-ROM. This manual will guide you through installing the software, connecting a Recorder to a network, and beginning data analysis. System Requirements Table 2 displays minimum PC or laptop system requirements for installing the PQ Analyze software. Table 2. System Requirements System Requirement PC/Laptop Windows  Operating System Processor Pentium > 500 MHz RAM > 256MB Hard disk Minimum free space: 512MB Operating system Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/NT 4.0 Network Ethernet IEEE 802.3x 10Base Other drives CD-ROM Note Install the software on a laptop or stationary PC. You can analyze the measurement data using a remote PC; however, for the Recorder’s configuration and the LIVE mode use, a direct connect connection is required.! Software Installation To install the PQ Analyze software for use with the Recorder: Insert the supplied installation CD in the CD-ROM drive of your PC or laptop. If your CD-ROM drive is configured for Auto run, software installation will start automatically. If the CD-ROM drive is not configured for Auto run, start the installation program by double-clicking launch.exe in the MS Explorer window. 1. Install PQ Analyze Software. 2. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the software. 3. Restart the PC or laptop before using the software with the Recorder.

Network Connection 7 Start Menu Options Start Menu settings are shown in Figure 4. emv16a.bmp Figure 4. Start Menu Offline Mode Options Recorded Data Analyze recorded measurement data Setup Offline Configure a Recorder offline Live Mode Options Setup Configure the network interface and connect to a Recorder Live Live mode for measurements and verification of settings Download Download recorded data from the Recorder to the PC or laptop Network Connection Installing one or more Recorders in the network allows you to call up the measurement data from your local workstation or from an external destination via the network. Note Placing a Recorder on a local area network (LAN) assumes dynamic IP address assignment. If your LAN requires static IP addresses, please contact your system administrator for rights, and see the User Manual for more details. To connect the instrument to the network: 1. Connect the Recorder to a network hub or port (using the grey Ethernet cable), and switch on.

8 Ensure the PC or laptop has a connection to the network. 2. On the PC or laptop launch PQ Analyze and open menu Transfer>Fluke 1760>Search Devices. 3. Select the appropriate network from the list box. 4. Click on Search. 5. Select a Fluke 1760 Power Quality Recorder that is shown in the list and click on Connect. 6. When the LED next to the Ethernet connector on the Recorder is flashing green, you have successfully connected the Recorder to the network. Note On some networks, security features hide devices such as the Recorder from searching and detecting automatically. This is normal. In such networks, contact your IT administrator and use the hard-coding of IP address procedure in the Reference Manual. Note Use the Live mode to download the measuring data of the instrument on demand. Alternatively, you may connect the Recorder directly to the PC or laptop with the supplied crossover Ethernet cable (grey cable with red connectors) Live Mode. Direct connection using the crossover cable is required for initial Recorder configuration. Connect to Circuits for Measurement W X Warning By connecting the Recorder to live circuits, the terminals and certain parts inside the device are live. Utilization of leads and accessories that do not meet relevant safety standards could lead to serious injury or death from electric shock. • To ensure safe operation, first connect the device to protective earth ground, and then to the power supply.

Connect to Circuits for Measurement 9 • Open the circuit before establishing a connection to the Recorder. Prior to connecting the circuits, ensure that the maximum measuring voltage and the maximum voltage to earth ground do not exceed the printed voltage level on the voltage sensor and the category of distribution system corresponds with the inscription of the sensor or meets the country specific standard. W X Warning • Wear electrician protective gloves, switch off conductors, and ensure that the potential is zero • Use the Flexi Set only at 600 V rms or dc to ground and frequencies below 1 kHz • Use the clamps only on insulated conductors Connect the voltage and Flexi Set current sensors according to Figure 5. L1 L2 L3 PEN Transformer/ Network Load 1 2 3 emv08.wmf Figure 5. Circuit Diagram Table 3 shows symbols used in the circuit diagram. Table 3.
