ACR PowerWatch
Voltage Disturbance Recorder (VDR)ACR PowerWatch Voltage Disturbance Recorder
PowerWatch 220/240V is the easiest way to monitor and record critical voltage disturbance information from any 220/240 volt Australian power outlet. Just set up your pre-determined voltage threshold values, or use the industry standard default values, and plug it in to a GPO power point. No wiring or dangerous connections required.
The data you record with the PowerWatch can be easily presented to your electricity authority or building manager, for discussion and complaints about power quality.
Applications:
- Troubleshooting repeated equipment failures
- Medical and scientific equipment
- Point-of-sale terminals
- Computers
- Other sensitive electronic equipment

Downloading, Communicating and setting up a PowerWatch
Downloading and communicating with the PowerWatch could not be more simple: plug the optical interface cable into the USB port of your computer and point the other end to the optical port on the PowerWatch. Communication begins immediately. No tools, cards or docking stations are required. The following information is displayed in EventReader software: voltage disturbance threshold values, site descriptions, filename, start and stop date and time, and the recorder’s serial number. Configure the threshold values for each voltage disturbance type or use the industry standard default values.
