Operation
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or death.
1.
See the Settings Tables. Set the selector to the proper setting and connect the test leads
to the meter.
2.
See the appropriate section for specific measurement instructions and illustrations.
3.
Test the unit on a known functioning circuit or component.
• If the unit does not function as expected on a known functioning circuit, replace the
battery and/or fuse.
• If the unit still does not function as expected, send the unit to Greenlee for repair.
4.
Take the reading from the circuit or component to be tested.
Measurements on Single-Phase Circuits
Single-Phase Two-Wire Circuits: Settings Table
* A positive (+) PF indicates an inductive load. A negative (–) PF indicates a capacitive load.
If the PF is greater than 0.91 (a phase shift of less than 25
°
), set the selector to 3Ø3W for a
more accurate reading of KVA and KVAR.
