PowerPro with PowerFlow Firmware
1
Introduction
The PowerPro represents leading edge technology in the
measurement of Power Quality. From the logger front panel or, for
more detail, using Candura Instrument’s PowerView software you can
view:
• Trends in Voltage, Current, Power and Frequency
• Waveforms and harmonic activity for both voltage and current
• Voltage sags and swells
• Frequency deviations
• Flicker (IEC 868 / IEC 61000-4-15) - Optional
The PowerPro is an 8 channel power quality data logger. It
can monitor 3 phases of voltage and current as well as a neutral
voltage and current. Measured parameters are updated every ½ cycle
to ensure that nothing is missed. Most measurements can be viewed
on the front panel LCD in the field and logged data can be transferred
to a computer using the removable memory card. The memory card
interface also provides the means to program the logger and to
upgrade the PowerPro firmware. The logger is powered from the V1
voltage measurement input, or if V1 is a weak source an auxiliary
power supply may be used. The PowerPro has an internal battery
that can power the logger for up to 8 hours in the event of a power
outage. Voltage inputs are transformer isolated and protected with
metal oxide varistors and fuses for safety. The entire unit is enclosed
in a rugged water tight case for use in harsh environments.

Safety
Although this instrument is designed to be as safe as possible, safety
is ultimately the responsibility of the operator. This instrument should
only be operated by suitably qualified and authorized personnel.
Please read and UNDERSTAND the following information before
operating this instrument
• The PowerPro uses a membrane keypad that could be damaged
if a sharp object is brought into contact with it. This may expose
the operator to potentially hazardous voltages.
• Frequently inspect the test leads and the instrument for damage.
If the instrument shows any signs of physical damage or functions
improperly, it should not be used.
• Never work alone with high voltage circuits. Ensure that a
qualified observer is mindful of your activities.
• When performing any measurements involving high voltage
circuits, all connections should be made to the circuits while the
power is off. To ensure personal safety, the test leads and related
connectors should not be handled while the circuit is energized.
• Do not attempt to measure any voltage higher than the maximum
rating of 750V RMS. Failure to observe the maximum rating could
result in damage to the equipment or personal injury.
• Refer servicing of this instrument to qualified personnel only.
Potentially lethal voltages may be present inside the case. If any
of the protective circuitry is improperly repaired, the safety of this
product could be compromised.

Quick Start
Connecting the PowerPro to the circuit to be measured is a
straightforward process.
1. Connect the voltage leads for each phase to be measured. For
proper operation V1 must always be used. Three phase circuits
can be connected in either a ‘wye’ or 'delta’ configuration. Refer to
the ‘Hookup Configurations’ section for the various methods of
connecting the voltage leads.
2. Connect the phase CT clamps or the three phase Flex CT.
Note that only one or the other may be used – if the three phase
Flex CT is used then the phase CT clamps must be disconnected.
The neutral CT clamp may be used at the same time as the three
phase Flex CT.
3. Ensure a memory card is installed.
4. Turn the logger on (if it is turned off) by pressing and holding any
key except F6. If installed memory card has data, select 'NO'
when asked to load Setup and Data from card.
5. Use the ‘SETUP’ key and function keys to check and modify any of
the setup parameters. If a computer is connected to the serial
port, run PowerView software and select 'Logger' and 'Configure'
to check and modify any of the setup parameters.
6. Press the ‘Record’ key and then F2 to start recording. If there are
any error messages, please refer to the ‘Hookup Diagnostic
Warnings’ section.
7. The measured values can be viewed from the logger using
'DISPLAY' key and function keys. If a computer is connected to
the serial port run the PowerView software and select 'Logger' and
'Status'.

8. To stop logging press the ‘RECORD’ key and then F4 followed by
F1 to confirm the stop command.
Note: Static discharges may occur when connecting leads,
communication cable or memory card, depending on
environmental conditions. This is not hazardous and will not
damage the logger. However it may affect the integrity of the data
if the logger is recording. Connection and disconnection of leads
etc. should be done while the logger is not recording. Before
handling a logger that is recording the operator should discharge
any potential static by touching a grounded object.
9. Data is transferred to a computer using the memory card. When
logging has been stopped the memory card can be removed from
the logger. The memory card can be inserted directly into an
ImageMate Card reader or, with a PCMCIA adapter, it can be
inserted into a PCMCIA slot in a laptop computer. Run
PowerView and select 'File', 'Open' and then go to the drive that
has been configured for the memory card, it will have the
description 'Power Pro'. Change the file type to 'Data Card Files'.
If there is data on the card you will then see a file that can be
opened. After opening the file a directory and file name (you can
keep the same file name) must be selected for the processed file.
