Introduction - System Overview
Tailored for PQ Analysis at any location, the Portable BLACKBOX has been especially designed to address the needs of Site Engineers, Electrical Consultants & Utilities:
No Missed Events Quick & Simple Setup Remote Connectivity Plug & Play
Empowered by the patented PQZIP compression technology, the G4500/G3500 can store up to a thousand times more than other typical file formats. The PQZIP allows the Portable BLACKBOX to continuously record & store all electrical waveforms, all the time, for extended periods, with no gaps in the data. Capture everything, Trends, Volts/Amps/Hz, Events, Harmonics, THD, Flicker, Power & Energy to get down to the root cause of all your Power Quality issues. The Portable BLACKBOX fully complies with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A standards for: aggregations, time clock uncertainty, flagging & transient influence quantities.
The advanced PQSCADA & Investigator Enterprise Analysis software enables the operator to detect, view, control, analyze & isolate the minutest PQ anomaly for the diagnosis & effective maintenance of equipment. It simplifies troubleshooting & time-synchronized data recorded by any number of BLACKBOX devices, can be compared within a particular site &/or across many sites.
The embedded Website serves as the main user-interface with the unit, providing enhanced management, unit configuration & real-time monitoring of all parameters.

Warranty
Each Elspec product is under warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is for one year and commences on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are under warranty for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer and it does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Elspec's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions in the operation or handling of the product. Elspec guarantees that the software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Elspec does not guarantee that the software will be error free and operate without interruption. Elspec authorized re-sellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only, but do not have authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Elspec. Warranty support is available only if the product is purchased through an Elspec authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Elspec reserves the right to invoice the Buyer for any importation costs for the repair/replacement of parts when the product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Elspec’s warranty obligation is limited, at Elspec's option, to refund of the purchase price, free
of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to Elspec within the warranty period. For warranty service, contact Elspec directly to obtain a return-authorization. On receipt of the authorization, return the product to Elspec with a description of the problem, including prepaid postage and insurance (FOB destination). Elspec assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB destination). If Elspec determines that the failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition of operation of handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product's specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Elspec will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer, transportation prepaid, and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return postage transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point). This warranty is the Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy and is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Elspec shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages or losses, including loss of data arising from any cause or theory. Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

The G4500 BLACKBOX Portable PQ Analyzer
The innovative design of the G4500 BLACKBOX has been uniquely adapted for PQ Analysis at any location. It continuously records all waveform data at a sampling rate for Voltage 1,024 samples per cycle & Current 256 samples per cycle. With an onboard memory of 32GB you can capture everything for more than a year depending on the selected resolution & the individual network condition. It is important to remember that with the built-in PQZIP compression this onboard memory is equivalent to 32TB, enabling you to get to the root cause of all your PQ Anomalies. It features an ultra capacitors' ride-through for up to 25 seconds, an AC/DC power supply, DC/DC converter, can be powered by Power of the Ethernet (PoE In) or by an onboard battery for up to 2 Hours.
The front panel of the unit mainly facilitates the communication interfaces, the auxiliary power supply & I/O module. It also facilitates one of the important features of the device, namely the remote Wifi antenna & activity indicator.
The rear panel houses another important feature of the G4500, namely the sensor sockets for all the probes. You may use any custom / Elspec probes supplied with the device. Simply plug it in & all the probes will be automatically recognized. The rear panel also houses the On/Off Switch of the Main Power & Inlet Socket.
The illustrations & tables below will serve as a navigational map of all the unit's controls & indicators.
