Wiring the measurement circuit This section will explain how to wire the KPM1000, AC power supply, and load. This product is designed for use with alternating current. It cannot measure current that has a DC component. If you try to measure an object that produces asymmetrical current waveforms (half-wave rectified or full-wave rectified waveforms)—for example, a hair dryer—...

Wiring the measurement circuit Double-checking the wiring Overcurrents can damage the KPM1000. Do not apply the output voltage of an AC power CAUTION supply to the KPM1000 current input terminal. Below we will show the correct wiring and the incorrect wiring for the example of connecting the current input terminal to the L side.
Turning the POWER switch on Turning the POWER switch on Flip the POWER switch to the ( ) side to turn the KPM1000 on. The firmware version is displayed for approximately 1 second (display A shows “VEr” and display C shows the number), and then the KPM1000 starts in measurement mode.
Basic Operations This chapter describes the basic operations of the KPM1000. Using the stands The stands are used to tilt the front panel, which makes the screen easier to see and makes the keys easier to operate. To use the stands, pull the two feet on the bottom-front of the KPM1000 out until they click into place.
Displayed contents The KPM1000’s screen shows displays A, B, C, and D, and the status indicators. Displays A, B, C, and D Displays A, B, C, and D show measured values. You can assign different display items to each display. The four displays are divided into two groups: (1) displays A and C and (2) displays B and D.

Displayed contents Status indicators The LEDs light to indicate the status of the KPM1000. The different statuses are listed below. If the OVER V or OVER I LED lights, fix the corresponding range setting. Status indicators Type Indicator Status OVER V Lights when the peak value of the voltage input waveform exceeds 3 times the range or when the RMS value exceeds 1.3 times the range.
Basic operations This section will explain how to operate the V RANGE, I RANGE, HOLD, KEY LOCK, and LOCAL keys. Used to set the ranges Holds measured values and locks the keys LOCAL key Setting the range Follow the procedure below to set the current or voltage range. In the factory default settings, these are both set to AUTO (auto range).

Basic operations Over-range During current measurement, if the peak value exceeds 6 times the range or the RMS value exceeds 1.3 times the range, the OVER status indicator lights. During voltage measurement, if the peak value exceeds 3 times the range or the RMS value exceeds 1.3 times the range, the OVER status indicator lights.

Basic operations Key lock You can lock panel operations to prevent accidental changes to the settings. When the keys are locked, the KPM1000 ignores the operations of all the panel keys except for the KEY LOCK key. In this situation, you cannot change the voltage range, current range, configuration menu settings, or interface menu settings.
Configuration settings Use the configuration menu and the interface menu to set the configuration settings. Menu operations To configure the settings on the configuration menu, press CONFIG. To configure the settings on the interface menu, press I/F (SHIFT+CONFIG). When you press the CONFIG key, “ConF.”—which indicates that this is the configuration menu—is shown on display A, the menu number is shown on display C, the menu item name is shown on display B, and the selection is shown on display D.
