Prepare instrument for new measurement, 
before going to measuring site. Check: 

÷

Is it time and date correct?

÷

Are batteries in good condition?

÷

Is it Memory List empty? If it is not, 
download all data from previous 
measurements and release storage for 
new measurement.

Setup PowerQ according to the 
measurement point nominal 
voltage, currents, load type. 
Optionally enable events or 
alarms and define parameter 
thresholds.

Double check Measurement setup 
using Phase diagram, and various 
scope and metering screens

Figure 3.45: Recommended measurement practice 

Step 1: Instrument setup 

On site measurements can be very stressful, and therefore it is good practice to prepare 
measurement equipment in office. Preparation of PowerQ4 include following steps: 

•

  Visually check instrument and accessories.  

 

Note: 

Don’t use

 v

isually damaged equipment!

 

•

  Always use batteries in good condition and fully charge them before leave.  

Note: 

Keep your batteries in good condition.

 

In problematic PQ environment 

where dips and interrupts frequently occurs instrument power supply fully 
depends on batteries! 

•

  Download all previous records from instrument and clear the memory. (See 

section 3.11 for instruction regarding memory clearing)  

•

  Set instrument time and date. (See section 3.12.5 for instruction regarding time 

and date settings)
