LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is one
year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the
original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and
does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries or to any product which, in
Fluke’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged by
accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants
that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional
specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-
defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or
operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused
products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a
greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is
available if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet
or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the
right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts
when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another
country.
Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the
purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective
product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the
warranty period.

and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized
service center. Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following

prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that the failure was
caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation
or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain
authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product
will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be
billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping
Point).

FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH
OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR
ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an
implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to
every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Introduction
Features of the Voltage Event Recorder System
The VR101 Voltage Event Recorder, hereafter referred
to as the recorder, records sags, swells, transients,
outages, and frequency variations on the power line. It
is self powered and easy to use—parameters can be set
by a few easy keystrokes from your PC equipped with
EventView SoftwareTM.
The recorder can retain 4,000 events. The existence of
recorded events is indicated by the recorder’s flashing
light.
Communication between a PC and the recorder is
carried via the Optical Interface Cable. By using this
optical data transfer, the PC remains electrically
isolated.
