 IV Model 8345 Quick Start Guide

Measurement Configuration Buttons

Button Purpose

to access the configuration screen
to access the measurement configuration options

to specify the calculation methods
to specify the nominal frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz), nominal voltage 

(with neutral), and nominal voltage between phases
to choose the real-time values to display

to specify the waveform mode
to specify the reference of levels of harmonics and mains signalling 

voltage
to specify the curve of maximum MSV voltages as a function of 

frequency. There are 5 preset points that you can modify
to choose the connection of the instrument according to the 

distribution network
to specify the voltage ratios, the current sensor ratios, and the range 

of the sensor
to choose the ratios of phase-to-neutral voltages (with neutral)

to choose the ratios of phase-to-phase voltages (without neutral)

to choose the ratios and range of current sensors

to reverse the current sensors

to configure the Energy mode
to configure the Trend mode (choice of values to record)

to configure the Transient mode (choice of triggering levels)

to configure the Inrush Current mode (choice of triggering levels)

to configure the alarms (choice of thresholds)
to enter the Monitoring mode, which is configured using the 

application software

Taking Screenshots

You have two ways to take a screenshot:

 



Hold the 

 button until the   symbol in the status bar turns yellow   

and then black  . Then, release the
