Overview APR64 is a new generation of digital fault recorder. It allows to record many analog and digital channels localy or remotely with optical fiber. This DFR allows :

- Measurements of up to 96 analog channels for ecah unit - Measurements of up to 1536 digital channels for each unit - Sampling rate 6400Hz - Pre-time and Post-time programmable with a wide range (up to 60 seconds of recording) - Maximum, minimum, relative threshold on RMS value, Frequency ,P , Q, S, CosΦ, tgΦ,

direct, reverse and homopolar voltage and current - Complient with COMTRADE - Communication with serial link, modem, Ethernet (TCP-IP) - Internal or external time synchronization (Satellite, IRIGB, STET, ou external signal) - Storage on external FTP server, or on internal memory. - Very efficient and easy to use Windows Software (APRWIN64)

The aim of this user's guide is to show to different capabilities of the APR64. Programming and use of the product is discribe in the APRWIN64 user's guide

Leds Description des leds "Measure active" - Is switched OFF when APR64 has not read the parameter file or if it is corrupted.. - Flashes quickly when APR64 has read the parameter file and is ready to start (trigger disabled) - Flashes slowly (1 times per second) when triggers are enabled. - Flashes 1/10eme od second if the system is saturated or if the milit of file per day is reached. "New Record" " is ON when a new event occurs. Led is OFF when "ALARM ACK" button is depressed. "Recording" Is ON when a new event is still recording "Communication" Is ON when APR64 is in communication with a PC. "Ext time status" - Blinks when receiving a pps signal - Is ON when time synchronization is lost - Is OFF When time synchronization is internal "Memory full" Is ON if the memory if full (>95%). Blinks 1sec if the memory if nearly full (>90%). . "FTP/Storage Error" Is ON in case of error of internal storage Blinks if the external FTP server is not accessible. In this case, measurements stays in internal memory. "System Fault" Is ON when . - A BFOP or DRU is OFF or with a bas link (see State of inputs TAB in real time screen of APRWIN64) (Can't be acknoledge. Error must be corrected) - Time has been lost (Time has to be set) - Configuration files are corrupted. (APR64 must be reprogrammed) - Internal memory is bad (Contact DFV Technologie) - Copy on USB key is in error (Can be acknoledged)

Copy measurements on USB Key When an USB key is inserted, APR64 indicates it with a BIP When "COPY USB" button is depressed more than 5 seconds, APR64 copy all the internal measurements on the key. Data are stored in \apr64_xxxx (xxxx is serial number ). directory Is the directory is already existing, measurements are added in the directory. During copy a short bip signal can be heard. When copy is finished without error, the internal data are deleted (if programmed). In case of error , on long BIP of 5 seconds can be heard and 'SYSTEM FAULT' is ON. In this case internal data are not deleted. This error can be acknoledge depressing button Never remove an USB key when there is regular BIP or when the led on teh USB key is blinking. Upgrade/setting up with an USB Key. Upgrade and setup data (IP Address …) of APR64 can be stored by APRWIN64 Software in a directory /maj_xxxx (xxxx=serial #) of the USB key When starting, the APR64 looks for this directory and setup automatically In some cases, the programming needs a POWER OFF. This is automatic, You have'nt to do anything.

Time synchronization APR64 measurements can be synchronized either on internal clock or on an external clock. APR64 allows to be synchronsized by : - RS232 STET protocol (Optionnal Software) - NTP (Network Time Protocol) over Ethernet (Optionnal Software) - IRIGB signal (Optionnal Rack and Software) - pps signal et IRIGJ (Option rack ans software) - 1mn , 10mn, 60mn and 24H signal (Optionnal software) For more informations refer to the "APR64 Time Synchronozation" user's guide.

Synchronisation rack / external trigger :

When external synchronization, the Rack receive a 1 pps signal coming from satellite or IRIGB decoder. Clock has also to be sended on COM3 (STET or IRIGJ format)

Trigger in : Input (0-24V DC) Trigger out :Output (0-12V DC) Loss of power (Signal 0-12V) (active at 12V) Battery low (0-12V) (active at 12V) BNC Insulated input 1 PPS (0-24VDC) BNC Insulated output 1 PPS (0-12VDC)

Allows to synchronize a 2nd AR64 in case of internal synchronisation. Master APR64 sends synchronization signal to SLAVE APR64

This input can trig the APR64

This output goes to 1 when APR64 is triggering.

Start of APR64 To start APR64 it is necessary to use APRWIN64 Software Star the softwate on a PC, configure IP adress . And store the created file on an USB key. Then plug the USB key on the APR64 and power it ON. For more information see APRWIN64 user's guide Storage of measurements Measurements are always stored in internal memory (2Go) and then according to the SETUP copy on an external FTP server. In case of memory full >90%, "storage full" led blinks and system continue until 95% is reached. When memory is full 95%, , "storage full" led is ON and measurements are stopped.
