Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction of P 1600
PM1600 is designed for modern industrial sites, commercial facilities and
utilities power management. By integration of power monitoring, demand
control, power quality analysis, report generation and communication, PM1600
fulfills all daily power management requirements. Combines the state of art
embedded system with information networking technologies, a high
performance power supervisory control system can be built at a fairly low cost.
1.2 Caution
1.2.1 Danger
The PM1600 meter contains hazardous voltages. The meter should never be
disassembled. Failure to observe this practice can result in serious injury or
death. Any work on or near energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering
equipment can present a danger of electrical shock. It is strongly recommended
that all work should be performed only by qualified industrial electricians and
metering specialist. Brainchild assumes no responsibility if your electrical
installer does not follow the appropriate national and local electrical codes.
1.2.2 PRODUCT WARRANTY & CUSTO ER SUPPORT
Brainchild Electronic Co., Ltd. warrants all products free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of shipping in
Taiwan.
Please have the serial number and a detailed problem description available
when you report any defective. If the problem concerns a particular reading,
please have all meter readings available. When returning any merchandise to
Brainchild, an approval RMA number is required.
1.2.3 LI ITATION OF WARRANTY
This warranty does not apply to defects resulting from unauthorized
modification, misuse, or use for reasons other than electrical power monitoring.
The supplied meter is not a user-serviceable product.
