The SVM-10^™ Scanner is easy-to-use, true RMS, micro-computer-based voltage recording device that produce accurate readings and professional reports. These scanners can help you resolve customer stray voltage complaints, conduct long-term voltage surveys, and detect voltage variations as brief as one cycle. The Scanner will not disrupt normal power supply; rather, it uses a minimal amount of voltage from one 120 vac outlet. Each Scanner gathers and stores stripchart data, recording the average, minimum and maximum readings for a selected interval with one-cycle resolution. Even events lasting less than one cycle are revealed in WinScan^™ reports if the Scanner is configured to capture the information. Installing the Scanner is relatively simple, although using the unit requires the same attention to safety as working with any other high-voltage device. Once the unit has been installed and the data you need have been recorded, the data can be downloaded using either a modem (if your Scanner is so equipped) or serial cable. Real-time data can be checked using the keypad and liquid crystal display (LCD) on the unit’s front. An optional Palm^® interface is also available for viewing real time data from the unit. Please refer to the PalmView manual for further information. You can then view and analyze the data using the WinScan^™ software. With the software you can create an array of graphs and reports, each of which provides you with useful, clearly presented power data. SVM-10 Manual 1.2.2 Inputs Direct hookups are fed into 4 voltage, 0-10vac inputs. Four direct inputs are available to be recorded and used with reports and strip charts.

Table 2-1: Environmental Precautions ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS For optimum performance, observe the following precautions when selecting a storing environment for the power quality analyzer. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature. Operating temperature must be within -20°F to 135°F (-29 to 57°C). Avoid sudden temperature swings of 10°C or more. Avoid locations susceptible to vibration, shock, static electricity, high magnetic, electro-magnetic, or radiation fields. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty, or corrosive gas environments. Maintain adequate air circulation paths to ensure proper cooling of the unit. Ambient operating temperature should not exceed 135°F (57°C). Detailed Specifications are included in Chapter 1, Table 1-1,2,3. 21 SVM-10^™ Manual 2.3 WIRING SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES 2.3.1 Power Requirements The power analyzer operates on external 120Vac power with to the line cord. A. Scanner Operating Power Connection Power connections to the Scanner are made by connecting line cord to a 120Vac outlet. This will automatically charge the batteries and power up the Scanner. B. Batteries and power The Scanner, when installed, powers itself from the line cord. It requires less than 2.5 watts. This means the Scanner does not contain large internal batteries that must be recharged or replaced; the Scanner can be retrieved from the field, downloaded, and reinstalled elsewhere minutes later. A small, coin-shaped lithium battery takes care of the Scanner’s minimal power needs while the Scanner is not connected to a power source. This battery never needs recharging and only needs replacing every five years. With this battery intact, the Scanner can literally sit on a shelf for up to five years after being initialized and still be ready for installation. Its memory can also hold recorded data for up to five years. A 12-volt power adapter is provided to power the Scanner during downloads in the office or in the field if the Scanner has been disconnected from the line cord voltage. 2.3.2 Installing the Scanner This chapter explains the physical installation of the SVM-10^™™ Scanner, and shows how certain settings may be altered using the Scanner keypad. Installing the Scanner is not difficult for a professional familiar with similar equipment, although the same care used required when working with any high-voltage equipment must be taken to 22
