Safety Information

Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the

meter.

To avoid damage to the instrument do not exceed the maximum input limits shown in the

technical specifications.

Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear damaged.

Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Accidental contact

with the conductor could result in electric shock.

Use the meter only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by the

meter may be impaired.

Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety information.

Use caution when working with voltages above 60VDC or 30VAC RMS. Such voltages

represent a shock hazard.

Before taking resistance measurements or testing continuity, disconnect the circuit under test

from the main power supply and remove all loads from the circuit.

Measurements

AC + DC Voltage Measurements

WARNING

The maximum input is 600V. Do no attempt voltage measurements above this limit. Exceeding

this limit could cause electrical shock and damage to the meter.

1. Set the rotary switch to the ‘ V’ position.

2. Insert the test leads into the meter’s input jacks. (Black to

‘COM’ and Red to ‘V’)

3. Connect the test leads to the measured circuit.

4. The meter will automatically detect and display AC or DC

voltage. The meter will also automatically select the

appropriate range.

5. Read the voltage (main display) and frequency (upper,

smaller display digits) on the LCD.

NOTE: The sensitivity for Automatic AC/DC Voltage detection is 1V. Voltage below 1V may

indicate DC.

NOTE: The sensitivity for voltage measurements is 1.2V and the frequency range is 40Hz to 1

KHz. If the frequency is less than 40Hz the LCD may display ‘Hz’.

AC Current Measurements

1. Set the rotary switch to the "~A" position.

2. Press the Trigger to open the jaw.

3. Fully enclose the conductor that is being measured in the jaw. No gap should exist between the

two jaw halves. The conductor under test must be a single wire; if there are multiple wires in a

cable the conductor must first be isolated (see diagram below).

4. The meter selects the range automatically.

5. Read the measured current (main display) and frequency (upper display) on the LCD.

NOTE: The sensitivity for current measurements is 6A and the frequency range is 40Hz to

400Hz. If the frequency is less than 40Hz the LCD may display ‘Hz’.

AC Power Measurements

1ΦKW, KVA, KVAR, Power Factor & Phase Angle Measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the ‘KW/KVA’

position.

2. Insert the test leads to the meter as

follows: Black to ‘COM’ and Red to ‘V’.

3. Connect the black lead to the neutral line.

4. Connect the red lead to the power line

and clamp onto the same lead to which

the red lead is connected.

5. The meter selects the best range

automatically.

6. Select the desired display combination

using the RANGE key. Press RANGE to

scroll through the following combination displays:

kW and HP (horsepower)

kW and PF (power factor)

kW and KVAR (reactive power)

KVA and phase angle (θ)

V and A

Note that LEAD and LAG icons are also displayed on the LCD to inform the user that the voltage is

leading or lagging the current with regard to phase.

Note: Allow 2 seconds after each RANGE key press for the meter to update the display.

KVA (Apparent Power) = (V*A) / 1000

KVAR (Reactive Power) = (KVA) (KW)

= KVA * sinθ

NOTES

1. The ‘+’ sign printed on the meter must face the power source for best accuracy.

2. If the device under test is a switching mode power supply, the KW, PF, and Phase angle

measurements may not be accurate.

3Φ3-Wire KW, HP, KVA, KVAR, Power Factor & Phase Angle Measurement

First, measure WRS(L1L2) (refer to the diagram below).

a. Set the rotary switch to the “ V”.

b. Press and hold the “HOLD” key while setting the rotary switch to “KW/KVA”, the 33W and

WL12 symbols will appear.

c. Insert the test leads into the jacks.

d. Select a phase (e.g. S or L2) as COM and connect the test probe of the COM (black)

terminal to that phase (e.g. S or L2).

e. Connect the test probe of V (red) terminal to the second phase (e.g. R or L1).

f. Clamp the same phase as step e. (e.g. R or L1).

g. The power clamp will automatically select the proper range.

h. Wait until the reading is stable (about 6 seconds). Press the “HOLD” key to store the

measured value. The WL23 symbol will appear.

Second, measure WTS(L3L2) (refer to the diagram that follows the steps below).

a. Disconnect the test probe from the phase where the jaw clamp was set in the previous

measurement.

b. Connect the test probe to the third phase (e.g. T or L3).

c. Clamp the third phase where test probe is connected to (e.g. T or L3)

d. The power clamp will automatically select the proper range.

e. Wait until the reading is stable (about 6 seconds) and then press the “HOLD” key to store

the measured value.

380976-EU-EN-V3.2 6/12

The power clamp will process these two sets of data (WL12 ,WL23), and show the result on the

LCD. The WL123 symbol will be shown to indicate 33W power. The 33W power (in watts) is

stored in the meter memory.

4. To read a single data record, press the “

HOLD

” key to select desired

WL12 , WL23 or WL123

display then

press the “RANGE” key to select KW+HP (Horse Power), KW+PF (Power

Factor), KW+KVAR, KVA+θ(Phase Angle) or A+V.

6. Set the rotary switch to another position to exit this mode and clear the stored data.

380976-EU-EN-V3.2 6/12

NOTE

Once a phase is selected as COM, users can not change this selection in the

subsequent measurement. For example, if S (or L2) phase is selected, S (or L2)

phase is always connected to the COM during measurement of WRS (or WL1L2) and

WTS (or WL3L2) in 33W unbalanced power.

NOTE

1. The "+" sign printed on Panel must face the power source for accurate

measurement.

2. If the device under test is a switching power supply, the meter KW, PF and θ

reading maybe incorrect.

NOTE

For 33W unbalanced power measurements, WRS or WTS could be negative.

Ensure that all connections are correct before accepting a reading as valid.

3Φ4-Wire KW, HP, KVA, KVAR, Power Factor & Phase Angle Measurement

First, measure WR(L1) (refer to the diagram below).

a. Set the rotary switch to the “ V” position.

b. Press and hold the “RANGE” key while setting the rotary switch to the “KW/KVA” position,

the 34W and WL1 symbols should appear.

c. Insert the test leads into the input jacks.

d. Connect the neutral line to the COM (black) terminal.

e. Connect the test probe of the V (red) terminal to the first phase (e.g. R or L1).

f. Clamp on to the same phase (e.g. R or L1).

g. The power clamp meter will automatically select the proper range.

h. Wait until the reading is stable (about 6 seconds) and then press the “HOLD” key; the WL1

symbol will clear and the WL2 symbol will appear in order to instruct users to take the WS(L2)

measurement.

Second, measure WS(L2) (refer to the diagram that follows the steps below)

a. Disconnect the test probe from the phase where the jaw was clamped in the previous

measurement.

b. Connect the test probe of the V (red) terminal to the second phase (e.g. S or L2).

c. Clamp on to the phase where the test probe is connected (e.g. S or L2 phase)

d. The power clamp will automatically select proper range.

e. Wait until the reading is stable (about 6 seconds) and then press the “HOLD” key; the WL2

symbol will disappear. The WL3 symbol will appear to instruct users to take the WT(L3)

measurement.
