Empty USB stick on tester

The supplied USB stick was empty. I wrote to the seller, got no reply. The software is downloaded from the web but the graphical data screens are not displayed.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Difficult to see

Most features work

Most features appear to work well. Hot and neutral pulses register normally. When connected without grounding, "Low Line” and "High Frequency Noise” are displayed, but the "Open Ground” indicator is not lit.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Modern

Functionality and ease of use

Was very useful in identifying power issues on my clients' websites. I like the plug and play feature. I wish it had internal storage for recording instead of having to plug it into a computer. This is my only complaint.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Day 2: So far so good

We bought this unit because we had chronic problems with the UPS (we have several machines at home that run 24/7) and we suspected it there are quality problems with the power supply. .Received this device yesterday. The included software installs easily and seamlessly on a Win 10 computer. It appears to be working correctly, although we haven't logged any power events so far (and we have no reason to believe it should). The only oddity we've noticed so far is that when plugged in, the 'Power…

Is working. but could benefit from improvements

The Powertronics 100+ sensor does exactly what it says on the tin: it monitors AC voltage and reports violations. I had no trouble installing the data logging app on my Windows 10 PC. Violations happen during the day, so you need to choose the day you want to study. Some feedback: 1. The Probe Plus datalog file display is not sorted by date. My dates seem to be random.2. The instructions could be clearer. When you first start, you need to press and hold the reset button until all the lights…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • High price

The logging software was not installed or started; No Product Support

As long as the LEDs on the physical device are lit to indicate that the device is doing something, my goal for the device was to use the promised logging feature to track down the root cause of my problem over time . I could not run or install the included logging software on my PC. I have tried to contact Powertronics for support twice within three weeks. There was no response to my attempts. I am returning the device. Follow-up: I received a message from Powertronics after posting the above…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Running

A handy troubleshooting tool.

Powertronics Probe 100+ USB Voltage Fault Recorder. I was looking for a simple single phase 120V AC monitor. A simple monitor that can register and graph voltage anomalies. This is one such module that can come in handy. The probe itself can diagnose your 110 output wiring configuration. It will also alert you when you have high or low voltage. From now on, he will bind all LEDs to the series of anomalies he saw. This block is really easy to use and easy to read. All your errors or events will…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very Expensive
