Using Real-Time Values to Verify
Setup
Values displayed for Volts, Amps, KW, etc., should make sense, meaning the values in the table are
relevant for the service being measured. This indicates the PowerScout setup is correct.
It may also be useful to use a handheld amp meter to test the current and compare its readings to the
values provided on the
Real-Time Values
screen.
Using the Optional Visual Display to
Verify Real-Time Values
If your PS3037 meter has the optional visual display installed you can read real-time values directly from
the meter. It has 2 rows of 16 characters along with a push button at one end of the PS3037 that
controls the display scroll mode. When the display button is held down for 5 seconds the PS3037 will
switch between AUTO CYCLE mode (switch screens every 2 seconds) or MANUAL CYCLE (the button
must be pressed to switch screens). This change is saved to non-volatile memory.
When in auto cycle mode, the informational screens change every 2–3 seconds, with real-time values
updated every second. The “display” button will stop the cycle until it is pressed again or until 20
seconds is reached. Some information, such as protocol, CT type, volts, amps, kW, pf, etc., is displayed
during each cycle. See the
Appendix
for a chart showing complete cycle information.
