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”, 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. 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 a 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 15 meters (45 feet) from the Recorder.
1750
Power Recorder
• 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 5 minutes or less.
• Automatic disturbance capture
The Recorder uses an automatic, self-learning threshold routine, which means you do
not have to set any event threshold limits before you start recording. You detect and
display power quality events (disturbances) using the Power Analyze software on a
PC after the event has been captured.
1
1750
Operators Manual
Contacting Fluke
You define thresholds for events after data is stored on the PC. This is called the "event
detector" in the software. It does not make permanent changes to the data file, so you can
experiment with different thresholds after the fact without worrying about losing data.
With these features, there is little else required to set up and start recording the data to
conduct a power quality survey. Should you want to extensively analyze collected data,
the procedures described later in this manual review the transfer of data from the
Recorder to the PDA, and finally to a PC. Data may then be analyzed using Power
Analyze on a PC. Extensive online help is provided in the Power Analyze software on the
product CD shipped with the Recorder.

Note
When Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed on your PC, Power Analyze
can no longer browse for 1750 Power Recorders. This occurs because
Service Pack 2 installs a firewall that does permit Power Analyze to receive
browse data. You may need to change your Windows firewall settings to
allow the program FPA.exe to use ports 18571 (TCP) and 18572 (UDP).

Installing the Power Recorder at a Facility
This section describes the steps you need to take to set up the Recorder at a facility and begin a
recording session.
Work Flow
There are three distinct stages for a recording session.
or
• Set-up
Set-up, hookup, and verification of connections and measured signals. This is when
you will want to clear the Recorder memory (not required, but good practice because
data download when finished only contains your new data), make any desired
Recorder setting changes, and insert annotations and/or an optional START mark
11
1750
Operators Manual
Installing the Recorder
into the recorded data stream. Annotations are messages or notes you insert into the
data stream during a recording session.
• Interim checkup, mid-recording session
At this time, you may want to re-check all the live input signals, and download the
data recorded since the beginning of the recording session. This does not interfere
with ongoing recording in any way. Annotation capability is always available during
the recording session.
• End of recording session
You can re-verify if desired, correctness of live data and then download data, power
off the Recorder, and pack up for transport.
To install the Recorder at a facility, follow the basic steps below.
1. Position the Recorder within 2 m (6 ft) of the monitoring location.
2. The Recorder can be set on the floor or a table, or attached and secured to a pole or
other mounting surface. The Recorder can be oriented vertically or horizontally.
3. Connect the Recorder to a 100 to 240 V ac power source, 50 or 60 Hz.
• Connect the power cord to the Recorder using the appropriate supplied
adapter.
• Connect the power cord to a properly grounded wall outlet.
WCaution
• Ground the chassis before you do anything else.
• Be sure to plug the power cord into the Recorder panel
BEFORE connecting it to an outlet
4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded wall outlet.
5. Turn on the PDA and tap the Power View icon
to launch Power View.
6. If a Recorder is within range and is not password protected, the Home screen for live
data appears.
7. If more than one Recorder is within range, select one Recorder for use.
8. If you have previously established password protection for the Recorder using the
Power Analyze PC software, you must type the correct password in the Password text
box and tap the Enter button. (Password protection is established for a specific
Recorder using either the Setup Password menu in Power View or the Power Analyze
software).
9. All LEDs should flash ON, then OFF, and then each should turn ON and OFF in
sequence. The LEDs will then remain on if you make secure test lead connections
and there is sufficient voltage and current.
12
Connecting the Recorder to the Wiring
After you have set up the Recorder you are ready to connect the voltage leads and current
probes or flexi-probes to the power network to be tested. Refer to the Power Type
diagrams provided on the PDA or in the 1750 Operators Manual.
In most cases, you should install the current probes first. Because they are clamped
around wires, current probes are usually more secure than voltage probes. Examine the
Power Recorder
Installing the Power Recorder at a Facility
conductors you are about to connect to and determine if you should attach the current
probes to the phase wires or busbars before you connect the voltage probes.
1. Select and attach the appropriate current probes to the Recorder.
2. Select and attach the appropriate voltage test leads and probes to the Recorder.
Note
If your power connections require potential transformers (PTs) or current
transformers (CTs), you can use the ratio settings in Power View to set the
Recorder to display readings as they exist on the primary side of the PT and
CT (for example, 12000 V).
3. Connect the Recorder to the wiring by first connecting the measurement ground test
lead to the distribution system ground, and then the neutral probe to neutral.
4. Connect the ground current probe to the distribution system ground and the neutral
current probe to neutral
, with the arrow on the current probe pointing towards the
load (away from the source) in each case.
5. Connect the remaining current probes to the power network.
• The arrow on the current probe should point toward the load.
• Use the color-coding on the leads to help you connect the probes to the correct
phases, neutral and ground.
6. Connect the remaining voltage probes.
Make sure the voltage probes and current probes are paired correctly
Phase A (L1) voltage to Phase A (L1) current and so forth. Calculations are
made in pairs and cannot be changed after data is recorded. The leads for
the voltage probe and current probe of the same color should be attached
to the same phase wire or busbar.
7. Check the LED for each phase to make sure a connection is established.
• When a phase LED is ON or lighted, you know that the connection is active and
that voltage and current is within the normal range.
• When a phase LED is BLINKING, you are connected but the voltage or current
is exceeding the normal range or exceeding the range of the probe that you are
using.
• When a current LED is OFF or unlit, there is insufficient current present in the
line.
Verifying Your Connection
Before you leave the Recorder to accumulate data at the facility, double-check the
connections.
Note
,
• Make sure the current probes are secured and completely closed around the
conductors and that the voltage and current LEDs are steady-on.
• Use the PHASOR screen on the PDA to verify that the voltage and current
connections are correct. You can swap the connections using Power View if they are
incorrect.
13
1750
Operators Manual
Finishing UP
Managing Recorded Data
After making any corrections to the connections, recheck the phasor diagrams to confirm
your connection. Make sure the nominal voltage, nominal line frequency, and power type
(delta, wye, other) are correct before you leave the Recorder. It is a good practice to
insert a START Mark when you are finished with all settings so you can download data
and ignore useless readings and events common at the beginning probe connecting
activities.
Recorded data resides in the Recorder on an internal non-physically accessible flash
memory circuit. It is not transferred to an SD memory card in the Recorder’s SD memory
slot until you request a download action using the PDA or an attached PC.
It is never technically necessary to erase internal memory. When the Recorder has new
data to record, it does so automatically, overwriting the oldest data. You can erase
internal memory for security reasons, or if you want to simplify what you will be seeing
in the download data screen. The start and end times will represent one recording session
when old data is erased.
Note
Data is not removed from internal Recorder memory until you erase it
using Power View software on the PDA or Power Analyze software on your
PC.

Communicating with the Recorder Using Power View
Communicating with the Recorder Using Power View
The PDA serves as your control panel for the Recorder. The Power View software
installed on the PDA is designed to function as a remote front panel for the Recorder,
since the Recorder itself is a “black box” with no integral display or external controls
other than status LEDs. With Power View installed on the PDA, you are relieved of the
burden of having to carry a laptop and Ethernet cable to a remote site when setting up the
Recorder, checking its progress, or finishing a monitoring session.
You can alternatively connect to a Recorder from a PC directly using an Ethernet cable or
remotely over an IP network. You can then use Fluke Power Analyze to set up the
Recorder, view power measurements wherever the Recorder is installed, or download
data from the Recorder.
Power View communicates with the PDA using a wireless controller radio interface.
There is no provision for a hardwired PDA interface to the Ethernet port on the Recorder.
After data is recorded and downloaded to a PC, you can analyze the recorded data using
the Power Analyze software.

Working with Annotations
Annotations are optional markers that can be inserted by the Recorder operator to flag a
particular point in the data when recording. They are usually inserted on using Power
View with the wireless PDA.
There are five types of annotations:
• START annotation (green)
The START annotation can be used to signify where important data begins. For
example, the operator might want to establish a start annotation after having finished
all probe connections and instrument setup, to indicate that any preceding data was
preliminary.
Note
You are not limited to using the START and STOP annotations in pairs, or
to show a range of data. You can use each as many times as desired to
mark a particular point during recording.
• STOP annotation (red)
The STOP annotation can be used to signify where important data ends.
• File annotation (yellow)
File annotations contain the name of a picture or audio file relevant to the data. See
“Using Image or Voice Annotations” later in this manual.
• Text annotation
Text annotations contain a text note.
• Power Configuration Change annotation
Power Configuration Change annotations are inserted by the system when a change is
made to the Power Configuration in the Recorder. These markers only display in the
Download dialog box.
To show or hide annotation markers:
• In the Volts/Amps/Hz or Events view, check or uncheck the Annotations option on
the view controls.
45
1750
Operators Manual
To open an annotation:
• In the Volts/Amps/Hz view, Events view, or Download dialog box, click on the
annotation.
If the annotation is associated with an audio (.WAV) or image (.jpg) file, the
application associated with that file will start and open the file. If the file is not in the
default directory My Documents\Fluke\PQ Analyze, a dialog box opens so that you
can navigate to the file.
Note
If clicking on an annotation marker does not seem to do anything, the Zoom
box is probably selected in the graph toolbar, instead of the Select tool.
Click the Select tool and then select the annotation.
To see overlapping annotations:
Sometimes annotations are so close to each other that they actually overlap on the
Volts/Amps/Hz reference graph. When this is the case, if you click on overlapping
annotations, a menu opens and you can select either Open, to open the annotation now on
top, or Select Next Overlapping Annotation, to bring the next one to the top.
• To open the annotation now on top, choose Open.
• To bring the next annotation to the top, choose Select Next Overlapping Annotation.
To then open that annotation, click on it again and choose Open.
To see overlapping annotations more clearly on the Volts/Amps/Hz
reference graph, move the selection cursors so that they just surround the
area that contains the overlapping illustrations. The Detail graph adjusts
as the cursors move, zooming in to show the area between the selection
cursors. You can now see the annotations separately.
Using Image or Voice Annotations
While you are monitoring data with a Recorder, you may find it helpful to take a picture
that relates to the power quality data you are recording, or to record verbal comments as
you observe the conditions or review the data being measured. You can then associate the
image or recording with the data being recorded by adding annotations that reference
them.
The PDA includes a microphone for recording notes which are saved as .WAV files, and
an optional camera accessory is available on the PDA which will capture images as .jpg
files.
You can associate both images and audio files with the data being gathered in the
Recorder by inserting annotations and specifying the name of a .WAV or .jpg file. After
you download data from the Recorder, you can then move the image and audio files to
the PC along with the recorded data (.odn) file.
Note
46

You can also associate other types of files with the annotation. For
example, if you had a .MPG file with a movie, or a .DOC file with
associated information. You can enter any file name using this annotation
method.
