VDR Specifications
The PowerWatch VDR
PowerWatch VDR Features
The PowerWatch VDR records surges, sags, impulses, outages and
frequency variations. It is self powered and easy to use - parameters can be
set by a few easy keystrokes from your PC.
The VDR can retain 4,000 events. The existence of recorded events can be
indicated by the VDR's flashing light.
Communication between a PC and the VDR is carried via the Lite-Link
interface cable. By using this optical data transfer, the PC remains electrically
isolated.
Safety Precautions
The VDR is designed and certified to work only on single-phase systems.
Attempting to modify the VDR or operating it improperly may cause circuit
damage which can ultimately result in property damage, personal injury, or
death.
Plugging in a PowerWatch VDR
The VDR is designed to plug into a standard convenience outlet. As a safety
precaution, the unit should be in a place where it can be easily unplugged.
This will also make it accessible for data retrieval. The VDR does not use a
protective earth connection since there are no exposed metal parts. The earth
conductor is used to measure neutral to ground (N-G) events. The ground
prong may be electrically unconnected (as long as it is not exposed). The

The PowerWatch Voltage Disturbance Recorder 6
2007 ACR Systems Inc.
VDR does not normally need any special ventilation, however, its ambient
temperature should not be allowed to rise above the operating limit.
Electrical Immunity
The VDR's internal circuitry is solid-state with built-in EMI and RFI protection
to ensure reliable readings.
Safety Inspection
We recommend that you inspect the VDR periodically for visible damage. To
ensure that it operates safely, inspect for missing labels, cracks in the case, or
bent blades and/or broken leads.
Battery Care
The VDR contains a lithium battery that will, under normal circumstances,
allow the VDR to operate for 10 years. Exposing the VDR to extreme
temperatures for extended periods of time may reduce battery life by as much
as 50%. The VDR is designed for INDOOR USE. It should not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
To extend battery life, keep the VDR plugged into a standard convenience
outlet (even when not in use).
WARNING: BATTERY POSES FIRE, EXPLOSION AND SEVERE BURN
HAZARD. DO NOT RECHARGE, DISASSEMBLE, HEAT ABOVE 100°C
(212°F), INCINERATE, OR EXPOSE CONTENTS TO WATER
Maintenance
The PowerWatch VDR is a maintenance-free product. However, it is
recommended that it be kept clean to allow for easy visual inspections. To
clean the VDR, unplug it from the outlet and wipe it with a dry, clean cloth.
Product Service
The PowerWatch VDR has no user-serviceable parts inside. The fuse inside
the VDR is NOT OPERATOR-REPLACEABLE. Opening the case, or
attempting to do so, will void the warranty and safety certification. If you
require service, please contact your local dealer or factory representative.

6.
One Year Warranty.
ACR warrants that it shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any problem
with the Software of which you notify ACR during the warranty period that precludes the Software from

replace the defective media at no charge. This paragraph sets out your sole remedy for the breach of the
warranty set out herein.
7.
No Additional Warranties:
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law the warranty set out in
paragraph 6 is the only warranty, made with respect to the Software, and no other warranty, representation or
condition either express or implied, including without limitation, any implied warranty or condition of
merchantability, non-infringement, performance, durability or fitness for a particular purpose or use shall
apply. ACR does not warrant that the Software will operate on a continuous and trouble free basis. You are
