1. Introduction
1.1 Features
The
VoltScanner
is a simple instrument designed to record voltage characteristics at
the customers supply terminals in public electricity distribution systems, according to
the EN50160 standard.
It records voltage dips, swells, transient overvoltages, frequency variations and supply
interruptions.
The parameters that tell the VoltScanner what to record are set by PC using the
ScanLink package. Communication between the VoltScanner and a PC is carried via
RS232 cable and is optically coupled, so that the PC is electrically isolated.
VoltScanner can store about 3500 events.
The VoltScanner has four LEDs to provide different information about the state of the
VoltScanner (memory full, low battery, polarity, events).
