About the 61000
61000
description The Encore Series
®
61000 System hereinafter referred to as 61000 encompasses two
world-class data acquisition products developed by Dranetz-BMI - the DataNode
family of products for the Signature System
®
and the PowerXplorer
®
PX5. This
integration of power measurement capabilities coupled with an innovative modular
design set the 61000 apart as a truly revolutionary product. The modular concept
applies to both the hardware configuration and firmware architecture allowing the unit
to be a multi-purpose instrument. 61000 works from being a diagnostic tool to
providing preventive and predictive information as an embedded solution. The
instrument is designed to operate either locally as a stand-alone unit with the optional
LCD panel installed or via remote computer using the Encore Series Software. 61000 is
compliant with IEEE1159, IEC61000-4-30 Class A, EN50160 standards, and more. It
can be installed in a permanent or semi-permanent installation.
Interface to
61000 61000 can operate locally as a stand-alone unit and/or remotely as a data acquisition
module connected to the Encore Series Software:
Local operation with optional user interface
As a stand-alone unit, the 61000 can be outfitted with optional liquid crystal display
(LCD) as user interface. The optional touch screen display is mounted on the front
panel of the instrument (rack mount or switchgear mount). The LCD panel provides
immediate accessibility to monitoring all measurement parameters and instrument
setup and configurations. Refer to the 61000 User Interface Operations Guide for
detailed instructions.
Remote computer operation
The 61000 can operate as a data acquisition module connected to the Encore Series
Software. This software provides a centralized connection point for remote devices,
turning the computer into a self-contained web server. Encore Series Software permits
remote communications with the 61000, with the conventional Internet browser as user
interface. Remote operation includes instrument setup and configurations and
monitoring real-time parameters, disturbance and trend data. Refer to the Encore Series
Software User’s Guide for detailed operating instructions.
Data
communication 61000 can communicate data to the Encore Series Software via Ethernet (wired,
wireless or fiber-optic based), RS485, and land/cellular modem via RS232. The
physical modem is an external option and is not included as part of the standard
product. This extends greater flexibility in the choice of communications interface for
remote operation.

About the 61000, continued
Input/Output
modules 61000 provides dedicated digital signal processing power via the separate and
independent connection for each input/output module installed. This modular and
configurable design shatters the traditional 8-channel (4 voltage, 4 current) instrument
format. Choose from the voltage, current, and data acquisition modules to build from
one to four instruments in a single, compact, cost-effective format. The available
modules are:
• AC Voltage Modules - 4 channels using either terminal block, safety jack, or 25-pin
connector to external voltage pods
• AC Current Modules - 4 channels for clamp-on CTs or 25-pin connector to external
CT pod
• Digital Input Modules - 8 channels
NOTE: The Modules are factory-installed. They cannot be installed in the field and are
not user accessible.
See Chapter 2 Controls, Indicators and Connectors for more information on the input
modules. Chapter 3 Circuit Diagrams for Power Monitoring contains wiring diagrams
for when power measurements are to be made.
Virtual analyzer
platform At the heart of the 61000 is the virtual analyzer platform or ‘instruments within an
instrument’ configuration. The virtual analyzer allows the instrument to distinguish
data operations in multiple modules. The user can configure up to four virtual analyzers
per 61000 instrument.
The 61000 firmware architecture is based on the concept of separating the various
stages of acquisition, characterization, communications and visualization with clearly
defined interfaces that decouple one from the other. The instrument can monitor power
quality phenomena for troubleshooting and/or compliance purposes. It can record
inrush conditions, carry out long-term statistical studies to establish performance
baselines, and perform field-basedequipment testing and evaluation for commissioning
and maintenance. The firmware integrates intuitive instrument setup procedures for
each module analyzer to ensure the capture of all relevant data for additional post
process analysis, report writing, and data archiving using other compatible Dranetz-
BMI software applications such as PQView
®
.
This guide This guide is only part of a complete document set designed to provide comprehensive
information about the 61000. It primarily contains instructions on how to set up the
basic 61000 hardware for operation. It describes the input module interface and the
wiring configurations possible for voltage/current connection. It also describes the data
communication ports available in the backplane of the instrument. An overview on how
to set up the 61000 either as a stand-alone unit or as a data acquisition module
connected to the Encore Series Software is included in this guide.
For operational description using the local LCD panel, refer to the 61000 User
Interface Operations Guide (check with Dranetz-BMI for availability).
For operational description using remote communications via Encore Series Software,
refer to the Encore Series Software User’s Guide.

The following are some basic care instructions for the LCD monitor:
• Use and store the unit within the specified temperature and humidity range.
The LCD screen may be adversely affected by exposure to high temperature
or humidity. Condensation or moisture produced by sudden temperature
changes may also damage the LCD screen. Clean any moisture from surface
immediately.
• Be careful when cleaning or removing stains on the LCD surface. Gently
wipe the surface with a soft cloth or cotton pad. Isopropyl alcohol may be
used, but make sure that all solvent residue is removed.
• Do not apply excessive force to the LCD surface. The LCD screen contains
sensitive electronic components that may be damaged due to strong impact.
