Turning ATPOL II On
Connecting to Power
Although ATPOL II comes with Li-ion rechargeable batteries, those batteries are intended to keep
ATPOL II functioning during limited power failures and to allow quick measurements without the bother
of always having to find a 120 Vrms source. When fully charged, the batteries can power the unit for up
to 12 hours.
For longer usage and to recharge the batteries, your unit has been supplied with a wall-mount power
supply. To use this power supply, simply plug it into any 120 Vrms source (use the AT6200-115
charger for 120Vrms and the AT6200-230 for 220V) and then plug its barrel-type plug into the 12 VDC
input jack on the right side of ATPOL II. If charging voltage is available, an LED indicating light will
immediately shine through the hole located to the right of the input power jack. Allow 4 hours to fully
charge the unit.
If you wish to operate ATPOL II without being tethered to a power outlet, the Line-to-DC converter
accessory offers the ability to power an ATPOL II directly off the line voltage being monitored. It works
with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power, operating off 100 to 480 Vrms input, single-phase or three-phase. All this
versatility is obtained without setting switches or changing connections.
If you need to operate the Line-to-DC converter off of 600V phase-to-phase service, connect one
input to a hot phase and the other input to neutral.
The internal batteries are automatically charged when the wall-mount supply is connected to the unit (or
when ATPOL II is connected to the Line-to-DC converter accessory).
The internal batteries are not to be replaced by the user. Only batteries provided by ATP are to be used
in ATPOL II.
Turning ATPOL II On
Simply press the green on/off button at the lower right of the keypad on the front panel and ATPOL II
will be operating (pressing the button again, turns the unit off). The message that the meter is
performing a system test will appear for a few seconds and then the greeting will appear. You can
change this greeting at any time by following the directions in the administrative functions that are
accessed by pressing the [Admin] key. Please note that turning ATPOL II on does not automatically
start monitoring and logging. Refer to the
Putting it all Together (Monitoring for the First Time)
for how to start monitoring and logging.
Turning ATPOL II Off
To turn ATPOL II off, simply press the green on/off button at the lower right of the keypad on the front
panel. This provides a graceful software/firmware shutdown. If pressing the button briefly does not
turn the meter off, press the on/off button down and hold it down for 3 seconds to force a hardware
shutdown. If this is a recurring problem, contact
