Please carefully read the instruction manual before using the tester, and pay special attention to “Warning” content. Please follow instructions under “Warning”. Please be very careful when test voltage is higher than AC 30 V, and do keep in mind that your finger shall not exceed the hand-shielding part of the test probe.
and identical electrical specifications. 5. Please never carry out any voltage measurement whenever the test probe is inserted in any current outlet. 6. Please do not expose the meter to strong light, high temperature, or dampness. Before use, please carefully read this instruction manual.
Safety Sign Important safety signs; please refer to instruction manual High voltage hazard Earthing Double insulation (Category-II safety equipment) Battery low Indicator General Description The digital power meter is a hand-held intelligent harmonic power tester, with both functions of digital current testing and power testing.
measure, calculate, and display voltage, current, active power, power factor, apparent power, passive power, frequency, harmonic parameters, with stable performance and operation convenience. The meter is especially suitable measurement examination of on-site power equipment and power-supplying circuits; with hand-held clamp structure, small volume, and light weight, it can be easily carried by the user, which makes it easy and fast for doing measurement.

True effective value measurement: accurate measurement is possible even with serious distortion in current waveform. Low-consumption high-speed single-chip microprocessor is employed and sophisticated algorithm is applied, as a result, results can be obtained rapidly and precisely, and up to 20 harmonics and distortion value thereof can be measured.

According to the connection mode as above Table , switch the function switching knob to V~, select corresponding sockets from V,COM terminal, and insert the test wire. Connect the two test probes V1, COMto the power source or load to be tested. The meter will automatically test and display the result, and the present harmonics percentage will be shown on the following line.

Switch the function knob to A~ position; Pull the trigger to open the clamp, and then clip a wire which is to be tested; the measured current value will be automatically shown on Press MODE button to show harmonics percentage on LCD, and the total harmonic distortion ratio F and r will be cyclically displayed.
calculation is performed only when base-wave frequency is between 45 and 65 Hz; harmonic analysis is not performed when base-wave frequency exceeds this range. Test of single-phase circuit Clip the clamp on the test wire of the power supply or load. If the user needs to measure a certain phase of the 3-phase circuit, then the clamp should clip on the wire of the same phase.

the red clip and clamp-type sensor are simultan eously connected to all test wires. Black Black Input Voltage and Current During power measurement, if input voltage is over 600 V (RMS) or current over 200 A (RMS), “OL” symbol will be displayed and bar symbol shown in full scale.
Auto Power Off If there is no function change or button press fo 10 minutes ,the meter will automatically turn power off , When the meter is automatically powered off, be sure to switch the knob to “OFF” position; turn on the meter after 5 seconds.
Battery-low Indication If battery voltage is low, “ ” symbol will be displayed on the upper right corner of LCD. Then, it is needed to replace new batteries. Battery Replace Warning 1. Before opening the back lid to replace batteries, please make sure the meter is turned off and no test probe is connected to any test wire so as to avoid electrical shock;...
Disconnect test probes from test circuit, and rotate function-switching knob to “OFF”, and then take off test probes from the input sockets. Open battery cove, Take out old batteries, and replace them with 3new 1.5 V batteries. New batteries shall not be used together with old ones. Properly close the battery cover.
