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
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.

Safety Information
Safety Information
The Recorder complies with EN 61010-1 600 V CAT IV, 1000 V CAT III overvoltage
rating. See the Specifications section for a full agency compliance list.
XWWarning
To avoid electrical shock or fire:
• Review the entire manual before using the Recorder and its
accessories and observe all warnings and cautions.
• Avoid working alone.
• Do not operate the Recorder around explosive gas or vapor.
• Use only insulated current probes, test leads, and adapters as
supplied with the Recorder, or indicated as suitable for the
Recorder.
• Before use, inspect the Recorder, voltage probes, current probes,
leads, and accessories for mechanical damage, and replace when
damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay special
attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories that are not in use.
• Make sure the Recorder is properly connected through the power
cord to protective earth ground.
• Do not apply input voltages above the rating of the Recorder as
shown on the input panel.
• Do not apply voltages in excess of the marked ratings of the
voltage probes and current probes.
• Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors.
• Do not insert metal objects into connectors.
• Never open the Recorder’s enclosure, dangerous voltages are
present. There are no user replaceable parts in the Recorder.
Refer servicing of internal parts to qualified service personnel
• Use the Recorder only as specified in this manual, or the protection
provided by the Recorder may be impaired.

supplemental ground terminal only when no protective earth ground connection exists through
the line power cord. If there is any chance that a safety ground connection does exist through
the line power cord connection, make sure to connect the supplemental ground terminal only to
the ground system used by the ac receptacle that powers the Recorder. See Figure 3.

Charging the PDA Battery
Installing the Software
Your PDA is shipped with a discharged or partially charged, rechargeable battery. You
should fully charge the battery before setting up the device, and recharge it regularly.
Refer to your PDA user’s guide for detailed information about the battery.
WCaution
Do not leave important data on the PDA. If the battery
discharges completely, you will lose all data not stored in File
Store (ROM). Discharging the battery completely is similar to
performing a hard reset. Refer to the PDA user’s manual for
more information.
This section describes how to install Fluke Power View software on the PDA and Fluke
Power Analyze software on your PC. Keep your product CD in case you need to reinstall
the software in the future. You should periodically check the Fluke website:
www.fluke.com
for download.
to see if any 1750 firmware or application software updates are available
Installing Power View on the PDA
1. Insert the CD that ships with your PDA in your PC. Follow the on-screen
instructions to install the ActiveSync software that allows your PC to
communicate with the PDA.
2. Put the PDA in the docking station and establish a partnership between the PDA
and your PC. This can be a "Guest" or "Standard” partnership.
3. Insert the CD that ships with your Recorder in the CD-ROM drive on your PC.
4. A window appears that lists options on the CD. If the install software window
does not automatically appear, do the following:
5. On the Windows taskbar, select Start, then Run.
