LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and

workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is one

year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs and

services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the

original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and

does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries or to any product which, in

Fluke’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged by

accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants

that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional

specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-

defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or

operate without interruption.

Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused

products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a

greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is

available if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet

or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the

right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts

when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another

country.

Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the

purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective

product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the

warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service

center or send the product, with a description of the difficulty, postage

and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized

service center. Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following

warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation

prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that the failure was

caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation

or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain

authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product

will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be

billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping

Point).

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND

IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,

INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH

OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR

ANY OTHER THEORY.

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an

implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to

every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or

unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not

affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Introduction

Features of the Voltage Event Recorder System

The VR101 Voltage Event Recorder, hereafter referred

to as the recorder, records sags, swells, transients,

outages, and frequency variations on the power line. It

is self powered and easy to use—parameters can be set

by a few easy keystrokes from your PC equipped with

EventView SoftwareTM.

The recorder can retain 4,000 events. The existence of

recorded events is indicated by the recorder’s flashing

light.

Communication between a PC and the recorder is

carried via the Optical Interface Cable. By using this

optical data transfer, the PC remains electrically

isolated.
