LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship
under normal use and service. The warranty period is two years and begins on the date of
shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty
extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller,
and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's
opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or
abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate
substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has
been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will
be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to enduser customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on
behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke
authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when
product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price,
free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke
authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain
return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure
was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition
of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work.
Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the
Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS 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. FLUKE 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.

1735 Power Logger
Introduction
With this 1735 Power Logger (referred to throughout this manual as “Logger”)
you can conduct voltage, current and power studies for determining existing
loads. The Logger is also a general-purpose power quality investigative tool
that reveals the quality of voltage supply at any point in a distribution network.
The Logger was developed in particular for plant electricians and electrical
installers, who have an important role in investigating and solving disturbances
of the power distribution system.
Your 1735 Power Logger is equipped with Flash Technology. This enables
you to perform firmware updates. Please use the Windows Flash Update utility
to do this. You will find it on the supplied 1735 CD-ROM. If there is a
firmware update, it can be found on the Fluke website: www.fluke.com

Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully. It will make you familiar with the most
important safety instructions for handling your Logger. In this manual, a
Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A
Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Calibrator or
the test instruments.
XW Warnings
To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury,
follow these guidelines:
• The Logger must only be used and handled by
qualified personnel.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes.
Individual protective equipment must be used to
prevent shock injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
• To avoid electrical shock, remove all test leads
from the Logger before you open the battery door.
Open the Logger only to replace the rechargeable
battery.
• Maintenance work must be done only by qualified
service personnel.
• Use only specified current probes. If you use
flexible current probes, wear suitable protective
gloves or work on de-energized conductors.
• Protect the Logger against dampness, wetness and
humidity.
• To prevent electrical shock, always connect
voltage and current test leads to the Logger before
connecting to the load.

1735
Users Manual
• The plug and socket connection for the voltage
lead set is designed for 600 V CAT III. The
maximum voltage between outer conductor and
earth potential must not exceed 600 V. With multiphase connections, phase-phase voltage may not
exceed 800 V.
• Use only the provided original or specified
accessories. This includes the ac power adapter.
Adequate qualifications are the following:
• Trained and authorized to switch on/off, ground (earth) 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 maintenance and use of appropriate safety equipment.
• Training in first aid.

Using the SAVE and CURSOR Keys
Pressing the ENTER/SAVE SCREEN key saves the current picture as a
screenshot.
Since it is a screenshot, a saved picture cannot be modified or edited with the
cursor.
The cursor control keys (4 5 2 1) are activated once you are in HOLD
mode. The CURSOR key activates HOLD mode and displays a cursor (vertical
line) for detailed analysis of measurement results.
Pressing the CURSOR key starts cursor mode. Press 4 and 5 to move the
cursor and read the current values on the display.
Pressing the CURSOR key in the view logged data mode sets a reference
cursor.
Screenshots can also be taken in cursor mode.
Pressing ESC exits cursor mode and returns to the hold mode. From HOLD
mode, different parameters may be selected and Cursor mode may be reentered by pressing CURSOR.

Charging the Internal Battery
Before you use the Logger, charge the internal battery as follows:
1. Switch the 1735 Battery Charger to either 115V or 230V as
appropriate.
2. With the Logger power off, attach the BC1735 Battery Charger to a
power outlet and then to the Logger.
3. Charge the Logger for 5 hours before using it for the first time.
4. On subsequent use, turn the Logger power on before you connect the
BC1735 Battery Charger.
This helps ensure that the fast charge mode is activated. If the Logger
does not turn on due to a discharged battery, recharge the battery for 5
hours with the Logger power off as described in steps 2 and 3 above.
Basic Operation
The following examples show how to select parameters in the menu.
• Entering the main menu: M
• Selecting menu options with the cursor control keys: 2 1
<Enter>go to marked submenu
<ESC> back to the previous menu level

Basic Operation
Changing parameters:
• The displayed parameters can be modified with the cursor control
keys (in the available preset values).
• If values are not preset you can modify them by using the cursor
control keys. With 4 5 you can select the decimal place and with
2 1 you can modify the number.
Note
Selected parameters are stored in the memory with Enter. With ESC
the adjusted value can be rejected at any time.
Parameter Configuration
Logging Menu
If you call the logging menu, then you can select between two further
submenus: Menu for adjusting the averaging time and for adjusting the event
threshold in recording adjustments.
In the menu Averaging you select the time over which the data are to be
averaged. You can also select these values from the predefined values for
averaging time. As you change the averaging time, you will see on the display
the resulting logging time available for each averaging interval.
