Power Recorder  
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 or the Product,” 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 (not included in Basic version). 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 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 5 meters (16 feet) from the Recorder. This range is dependent  
on the electrical interference in the location.  
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 approximately  
5 minutes or less.

Operators Manual  
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. 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.

Connecting the supplemental ground terminal and the line cord safety ground to different  
ground potentials creates a ground loop that can damage the Recorder. To avoid this, use the  
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.

on changing firewall settings, refer to http://support.microsoft.com.  
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.  
Setup  
Setup, hookup, and verification of connections and measured signals. This is when  
you will want to clear the Recorder memory (not required, but best practice because  
data download when finished only contains your new data). This is a good time to  
change any recorder settings. Edit the measurement description now or after  
downloading the measurement data and insert annotations and/or an optional START  
mark 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.

1750  
Operators Manual  
Installing the Recorder  
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.  
4. Plug the power cord into a properly-grounded wall outlet.  
WCaution  
To avoid damage to the Recorder:  
Ground the chassis as appropriate according to your power  
connection before you do anything else.  
Connect the power cord to the Recorder using the appropriate  
supplied adapter.  
Connect the power cord to a properly grounded wall outlet.  
Be sure to plug the power cord into the Recorder panel BEFORE  
connecting it to an outlet.  
After a minute, or two, 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.  
5. Turn on the PDA and tap the Power View icon  
to launch Power View.  
If a Recorder is within range and is not password protected, it should appear in the drop  
down menu just below the main title bar on the PDA. You may need to select Browse for  
recorder when first connecting. Select the recorder you want to browse to with the PDA  
stylus. Upon selection, the Home screen for live data appears.  
If more than one Recorder is within range, these will appear in the drop down menu list.  
6. If you have previously established password protection for the Recorder, you must type  
the correct password in the Password text box and click OK. (Password protection is  
established for a specific Recorder using either the Setup Password menu in Power View  
or the Power Analyze software).  
Connecting the Recorder to the Wiring  
After you have set up the Recorder you are ready to connect the voltage leads and current  
probe or flexi-probes to the power network being tested. Refer to the Power Type  
diagrams provided on the PDA or in this manual.  
XWWarning  
To prevent possible electrical shock, Flexi-probes should not  
be applied or removed from hazardous live conductors.  
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  
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.  
12  
 
Power Recorder  
Installing the Power Recorder at a Facility  
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.  
Note  
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.  
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 or PC to verify that the voltage and current  
connections are correct. You can swap the connections using Power View if they are  
incorrect.  
Finishing UP  
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. You can also use the “Erase Memory” function and measurement

descriptions such as company, name, and measurement purpose. This can be done at this  
point or after downloading the measurement data.  
Managing Recorded Data  
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. Downloading  
to a PC running Fluke Power Analyze Software (included) using the Ethernet cable is  
recommended and the fastest way to retrieve data from the Recorder.  
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 (circular memory).  
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.  
Power Type Diagrams  
The wiring illustrations included cover the standard power configurations that are  
selectable in Power View or Power Analyze software. The diagrams are provided as an  
aid in making the correct test lead connections. Power type diagrams are also included on  
your PDA and can be referenced when you are setting up nominal power on the Recorder.  
Available power type settings are:  
One-Phase Plus Neutral (Figure 4)  
One-Phase IT No Neutral (Figure 5)  
One-Phase-Split Phase (Figure 6)  
Three-Phase Wye (Figure 7)  
Three-Phase Delta (Figure 8)

Power Recorder  
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.

taken automatically when you set the “snapshot period” in the 1750 Setup menu.  
This icon brings up the Annotate screen. Use the annotate menu to enter text or to insert a  
file name and load it into the recorded data stream in the Recorder. Annotations can be  
used to make notes, or to insert a file name of an image or audio file. You can enter  
multiple start and stop annotations. START and stop annotations are not paired and are  
not restricted to being used as literally “start” and “stop”. Annotations are often done at  
the start of a power recording session.

45  
 
1750  
Operators Manual  
Azd137.bmp  
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.  
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

Setting Up the Recorder  
default directory My Documents\Fluke\PQ, 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.  
Note  
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  
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.  
Inserting Image or Voice Annotations  
1. Set up the Recorder and begin monitoring.  
2. Using your PDA-cam (not available in standard PDA supplied) or another camera,  
take a picture of what you want to capture.  
3. Click the Annotate icon to display the Annotate screen.  
4. Move the image or audio file to a location that will make it easier to Transfer it to a  
PC later, when you download and move the recorded data file to your PC. Place the

file into the synchronization folder on your PDA, so that it will be automatically  
transferred into the sync folder on the PC the next time you dock the PDA.  
Turn off the Recorder  
The Recorder always has the UPS enabled to allow a 5-minute pass through time on a  
voltage interruption. When you pack the Recorder for transport, you have the option to  
shut down the Recorder and disable the UPS before unplugging the power cord.  
To turn off the Recorder:  
1. Select Menu>Tools>1750 Shut down...  
2. Confirm the warning message.  
3. Wait until the Power LED is solid green.  
The power cord can be safely unplugged.
