1 Introduction
We founded Power Monitors Incorporated (PMI) to provide state-of-the-art, easy-to-use,
and affordable electronic test equipment to the power industry. Our products have been
developed by working directly with electric utilities to determine their specific needs.
The Eagle 120 Voltage Recorders have also been developed by following these same
principles. The Eagle 120 Recorder combines the powerful, high technology voltage
analysis capabilities of our larger Voltage Recorders with precisely targeted end use
specifically by plugging directly in a receptacle.
The Eagle 120 Voltage Recorder was developed for diagnosing electric power problems
at the outlet. The unit plugs into any standard 15 amp US wall receptacle, to detect
outages, sags, swells, and flicker. Detectable voltage range is 0 to 170 volts, allowing the
measurement and recording of severe voltage variations on 120VAC single-phase lines.
Inside its lightweight enclosure, state-of-the-art electronics measure and record true RMS
line to neutral and neutral to ground voltage and load current.
Each unit has been individually calibrated to ensure high accuracy and stability. With its
voltage and current measurement and digital processing circuitry based on the established
Voltage Recorder line, the Eagle 120 Recorder provides a voltage measurement,
processing, and reporting system with a proven performance history.
In summary, the Eagle 120 Recorder Voltage was created with your needs in mind. It is
perfect for analyzing voltage disturbances at the consumer level. After looking through
this manual and using the Eagle 120 Recorder, please contact us if you have any
questions about its operation, ideas for new features, or ideas for additional products. We
want you to be happy with this product, and would appreciate any input that could help
us develop products to meet your future needs.
2 Safety Issues
Please read before installing the Eagle 120 Recorder.
The Eagle 120 Recorder Voltage contains dangerous voltage levels during operation. Do
not disassemble the Recorder.
THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE
.
Do not install or operate near open bodies of water. The Eagle 120 is intended for use
with a standard, indoor, 15 amp 120VAC receptacles. Do not use outdoors or in a wet
location (as determined by the National Electrical Code).
The Eagle 120 Recorder is intended for use with a standard 15 amp receptacle.
The USB port is optically isolated from the 120VAC line. However, to insure user safety
and prevent damage to the unit, only the supplied Eagle 120 Recorder USB cable should
be plugged into this jack. The other end of the USB cable should only be plugged into an
USB port.
