Chapter 2 Quick Start
Setting up the MPC is a straightforward process, whether yo u ar e i n the fi eld (collecting data) or back
at the office (configuring the MPC, or transferring collected data to your PC for post-processing).
CAUTION!: See the cautions o n Page 11 of the Notices for a list of items you should be aware
of as you set up and use the MPC.
Figure 2 displays how you might typically set up the MPC at the office (for example, as a base to set
up other receivers in the g rid, or to trans fer co llected data fro m other r eceivers to the bas e MPC, or as
a stand alone receive r). In these situations, the MPC is connected to the intern et and energ y is supplied
by means of a power source in the range 100 to 240 VAC. No matter what country the power source
comes from, the MPC will automatically recognise and accept the voltage.
