Atec Echelon-PLCA-22 - Manual (Page 2)

Data Logging
Each PLCA-22 analyzer includes an output-only RS-232
communication port. This port may be connected to a PC or
other data logging device to create permanent record of power
line performance.
Rugged Packaging
The PLCA-22 analyzer is packaged in a rugged case that
holds the electronics, power supply, LCD display, and operator
keypad. Each analyzer operates from 100-240VAC or from an
external DC power source; the latter permits the unit to operate
from batteries in applications where AC line voltage is not
available. An adjustable backlit-LCD display enhances
viewing in dimly lit work environments.
