GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following is a general procedure for operating the POWER MULTIMETER.
1.
NOTE:
Due to the sensitivity of the Power Multimeter to very low levels of
voltage and current, it is highly recommended that the protective ground
terminal be connected to an earth ground and jumpered to the voltage
input neutral post before making any measurements!!! This is
recommended even if the AC power cord is used.
2.
If the AC power is used, connect the provided AC power cord to a suitable
supply. The POWER MULTIMETER is equipped with a wide input range
power supply and therefore can be operated from 90 to 253 Volts (AC), 50
or 60 Hertz.
3.
Turn on the instrument by toggling the power switch to its ON - position.
The instrument should display the Main Menu.
NOTE: To adjust the screen contrast, press the MORE function key
and use the LESS or MORE contrast function keys to set the screen
contrast.
4.
The Power Multimeter is shipped with default settings. Timer Horn:
Disabled
, measuring mode:
60 Hz
, and Phase Angles:
0 - 360
°
Lag
. To
make changes to the settings, press the More function key, then select
SetUp Page2
. In the SetUp Page2 screen complete the desired changes,
then press the OK or Menu key to initialize the changes.
Note
: The unit saves the selections/changes made in the SetUp Page2
screen. Turning the unit OFF and ON will not restore the default settings.
5.
Make the proper connections to the voltage and/or current channel inputs.
Connections should be established to the potential and current terminals
before the measuring circuit is energized!!!
6.
Proceed with the actual test as described in the following sections.
4.5
SINGLE-PHASE
OPERATION
The single-phase operation mode is intended for measuring a single voltage and
current, two voltages or two currents. This mode features a quick input selection
menu, which enables the operator to measure various quantities in a single- or
poly-phase installation.
Note:
Lag
; displayed phase angles lags the reference in the Lag mode.
Lead
;
displayed phase angles leads the reference in the Lead mode.
