    Elelctrical Data logger

    I am having some issues with brown outs and surges that are reaking havoch on several of my copiers. I am looking for a AC voltage data logger that the data can be downloaded to a laptop, viewed, and printed. What kind of power data loggers do you use?

    I can only say great things about the Fluke 1710. It's easy to use, portable, and compatible with one phase, or two phase, up to 300vac. It's got a common male connector (same as most copier and computer cords). Since there is typically only one special outlet for 220vac 30A, 220vac 20A, and 120vac 20A, I've made up short cords with an inline female connector for the PQA.

    I have to say it's taken the terror out of those "power problem" calls. You can provide indisputable proof that the power is just not good enough.

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    We use an ESP Next Gen PCS monitor that is essentially a surge protector with a data port built into it. Comes in 15 and 20 amp flavors, and connects to USB of my laptop. The software is easy to use and install. You can set high and low thresholds and can sample every 1 to 5 seconds. You can export all data to an excel spreadsheet. I cannot tell you how many times this thing has given me proof of an electrical issue at a site. Not to mention ruffling the feathers of an electrician or two....
