MODEL6300 Safety warnings Safety warnings This instrument has been designed, manufactured and tested according to IEC 61010: Safety requirements for Electronic Measuring apparatus, and delivered in the best condition after passing quality control tests . This instruction manual contains warnings and safety rules which have to be observed by the user to ensure safe operation of the instrument and to maintain it in safe condition.
Page 8
Safety warnings MODEL6300 WARNING Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions, such as a broken cover or exposed metal parts are present on the Instrument, Voltage test leads, Power cord and Clamp sensor. Ensure that the Current input terminal cover, USB connector cover and CF card connector cover are closed when not in use during a measurement.
Section 1 Instrument overview MODEL6300 1. Instrument overview This section is an overview of instrument features and functions. This instrument is a power clamp meter, and can be used for various wiring systems. For example, in a single-phase 2-wire circuit, this instrument can measure up to 3 different loads.
Page 10
MODEL6300 Section 1 Instrument overview Power supply This instrument operates either with AC power supply or batteries. In the event of service interruption while the instrument is operating with AC power supply, power to the instrument is automatically restored by the battery set in the instrument. Batteries can also be used for backing up data.

Section 1 Instrument overview MODEL6300 1-4 Outline of maximum demand measurement concept In some countries, large consumers of electricity will usually have a maximum demand contract with the power company. Such contract varies from country to country. The following is an explanation of a typical Japanese maximum demand contract.
Page 14
Maximum Demand measurement limitations N.B. The readings from power company maximum demand meter and from the 6300 will not match completely due to an obvious time-lag difference in the start of the integration period (eg.30mins) over which the max demand is taken.
