chronological log of all event types. Before viewing event details, it is important to
understand event classifications and thresholds.

A note on battery life:

Due to the nature of voltage monitoring, the unit does not have an auto power off
option. The VPM uses the power of the circuit when monitoring. Check battery life
prior to leaving unit for extended periods of time. CONFIRM THE UNIT IS OFF
PRIOR TO STORING.

Voltage Event Classifications:

Events are categorized into Sags (SAG), Swells (SWL), Impulses (IMP), %Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD), Loss (LOSS) and Start time (RUN). To make data easier
to interpret, the VPM sub-classes events according to magnitude and duration.
Each classification has a trigger associated with it. A trigger is comprised of a mag­nitude threshold and a duration threshold. There are 6 SAG triggers and 3 Swell
triggers are available. Monitoring standards are sets of pre-loaded event triggers
derived from international voltage standards. 15 monitoring standards available
along with a custom option to program unique triggers.

Example:

Only events beyond the set thresholds are logged. All other voltage fluctuations are
ignored:

ENTER

Impulses
Impulses are short duration voltage spikes of an extreme magnitude. The VPM cap­tures impulses automatically based on the peak value of the sine wave. Short dura­tion events over 450V peak will generally log as impulses. The unit records the
extreme magnitude of the impulse whether in the positive or negative direction and
displays the absolute peak value.

Loss Events
A LOSS is recorded when the voltage drops below the operating range of the unit
(15V). A loss is recorded in both the SAG menu and the LOG menu. To determine
the duration of a loss event, compare the time of the loss to the time of the corre­sponding RUN in the LOG menu. Both short term and long-term interruptions will
show up as a LOSS if voltage drops below 15V.

Monitoring Standards:

15 monitoring standards have been pre-loaded into the VPM. These settings are
based on existing international voltage standards and are named for the standard
duplicated. For example, the default ITIC threshold settings are based on the ITIC
standard. Magnitude and duration thresholds may vary from the actual standard do
to the technical capabilities of the hardware or a revision in the standard. The CUS­TOM option is included for those instances when a specific monitoring standard is
not appropriate, or has been revised. Refer to specifications for the triggers used to
duplicate each of the standards. Appropriate trigger settings vary by country, indus­try and application. The ITIC setting captures most events that would have the
potential of effecting equipment on 120V single-phase circuits. Use the CUSTOM
option to match triggers to manufacturers' specification when appropriate. Triggers
consists of a magnitude and duration threshold. Magnitude is expressed as a per­centage of nominal voltage. Duration is expressed in cycles. At 60Hz, 1 cycle =

16.7 milliseconds, at 50Hz, 1 cycle = 20 milliseconds.

A note on setting triggers:

There are 6 programmable sag triggers and 3 programmable swell triggers avail­able. In many cases that much resolution is not required. Setting triggers to the
same value 'hides' the triggers not needed. For example, to capture swells over
120% of nominal voltage and longer than 2 cycles, all 3 swell triggers would be
set the same:

(A [125%, 3 cycle] voltage event would be recorded as a SWL1.)
Settings:
Trigger Magnitude Duration
SWL1 120% 2 Cycles
SWL2 120% 2 Cycles
SWL3 120% 2 Cycles

Monitor de rendimiento del
voltaje

Manuel d'instructions

Sécurité: Este instrumento sólo debe ser usado por

personal competente, adecuadamente capacitado. No use
este instrumento en lugares húmedos.

Introducción:

El monitor de rendimiento de voltaje (VPM) IDEAL le permite “entrar” al tomacorri­ente e identificar problemas que puedan afectar al funcionamiento de los equipos.
El VPM facilita el monitoreo. Mediante un proceso de configuración sencillo de
navegar, seleccione sus umbrales de monitoreo precargados (basados en normas
reconocidas), enchufe el instrumento en el tomacorriente y observe cómo la unidad
captura y registra los eventos del voltaje. Toda la información que necesita está al
alcance de sus dedos, presentada en una pantalla de LED superbrillante. No es
necesario descargar la información a una computadora. Usar el monitor de
rendimiento del voltaje es la manera más sencilla de conocer la confiabilidad del
suministro eléctrico.

Caractéristiques:

• Monitoreo del valor eficaz verdadero (TRMS), frecuencia y armónicas del voltaje
en tiempo real

• Registro de las caídas (Sag) y aumentos (Swell) de corta duración, así como los
impulsos del voltaje

• Medición del porcentaje de distorsión armónica total (%THD) y registro de
eventos superiores al 3% (línea a neutro)

• Umbrales seleccionables basados en las normas internacionales más aceptadas,
por defecto normas ITIC*

• Umbrales de eventos programables personalizados

• Revisión de datos en la pantalla

• Detección de impulsos e inmunidad hasta 4 kV

• Pantalla invertible, cuando es necesario enchufarlo en posición invertida

• Capacidad de guardar hasta 512 eventos

• Incluye adaptadores para todo el mundo

• CAT III 300 V
