VR101S

Users Manual

∙Two recorders have different transient readings on the same circuit. Locally generated transients can carry relatively little power. One recorder can absorb some of the energy leaving less for the next one to read.

∙VER Records long periods of large NG swell. The VER is plugged into a convenience outlet that has been wired with the hot and neutral lines reversed.

∙VER does not record any data. The VER does not record events while communicating. Make sure that you stop the realtime display. The VER will be ready to record events in 8-16 seconds.
