PA9PLUS
Portable Power Quality Analyzer
SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications are at 25° C (77° F).
Applicable Measurement Standards
EN50160, IEEE1159, IEEE519, IEC61000-4-15, IEC 61000-4-30
Voltage (4 Differential Input Channels)
Voltage Range
Three high-voltage channels autoranging between 20 to 600 V ac.
One low-voltage channel autoranging between 0.1 to 350 V ac, true
RMS through the 63rd harmonic. The PA9Plus will also measure
V dc (Approx. dc only)

Crest Factor
Voltage
Limited to 1500 V peak (not including impulses)
for high voltage channels
Limited to 500 V peak for low voltage channel
Current: 1.4 of full scale at peak input
Current (5 channels)
(AAC RMS Only)
Current Resolution: 0.1% of full scale
Current Accuracy: ±0.25% of reading ±0.5% of range,
plus the current probe accuracy
Current channels receive 0 to 1 Volt RMS from probes
Current channel voltage 0.25% of reading, ±5 mV
Voltage/Current Connectors
V = 4 color coded pairs of safety banana jacks; I = 5 Amp miniature
circular connector; power provided for flexible CTs
Frequency
Fundamental Frequency: 20 Hz to 70 Hz autoranging via phase
lock loop
Frequency Response: dc to the 63rd harmonic with low pass anti-
aliasing filter
Frequency Resolution: 0.01 Hz
Frequency Accuracy: 0.01 Hz at 60 Hz
Phase Angle Error
±1° referenced to first voltage channel at 60 Hz
Sample Rate
20-70 Hz: 256 samples/cycle
Voltage and current for each phase are sampled simultaneously
Channel to Channel Isolation
6000 Volts peak on voltage channels
Control
Silicon rubber keypad, four cursor controls with select switch and
six buttons (home, back, default, record, cursor select, power on)
Time
Real Time Clock: internally maintained and updatable via computer
Time Accuracy: Better than ±0.005%
Power Supply
Selectable between either A-phase voltage input or nonrecording
IEC-style power input. A-phase voltage powering input require-
ment 90-600 V ac or 110-600 V dc. IEC power input requirement
90-250 V ac.
Battery
12 V backup battery included for ride-through of outages to 15
minutes and local data analysis without a power connection
Battery Recharge Time: 16 hours
Run Through Time: If recording, 15 minutes when instrument
power input falls below minimum voltage level listed above. After
15 minutes, automatically resume recording on restoration of mini-
mum input power using correct date and time.
Data Retention: 10 years via nonvolatile, solid-state internal flash
memory
Environmental

temperature
Humidity: Meets NEMA 4X, rain resistant; 90% non-condensing,
not watertight
Case: NEMA 4X, (IP54), nonconductive, corrosion resistant, rain
resistant, not submersible
Communications
