1. OVERVIEW This Operating Manual covers information on safety and cautions. Please read the relevant information carefully and observe all the Warnings and Notes strictly. WARNING: To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the "Safety Information" and "Rules for Safe Operation" carefully before using the Meter.
3. SAFETY INFORMATION This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: in pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 600V, CAT IV 300V) and double insulation. CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltages than CAT. IV CAT.IV: Primary supply level, overhead lines, cable systems etc.
• When opening the battery door, make sure the Meter is off. • When servicing the Meter, use only the same model number or identical electrical specifications replacement parts. • The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident.
5.2. The Meter Front Structure (see figure 2) Figure 2 1 - Transformer Jaw: designed to 7 - LCD Display pick up the AC and DC current 8 - L2 Input Terminal flowing through the conductor. (Second phase measurement) It could transfer current to 9 - L3 Input Terminal voltage.
6. FUNCTION Below table indicated for information about the functional button operations. Operation Performed Button Press HOLD to enter the Hold mode in any mode, appears and the Meter beeps. HOLD Press HOLD again to exit the Hold mode to return to measurement mode, the Meter beeps and, disappears.
1. Turn the rotary switch dial to a position away from the OFF position. Hearing a beep sound indicates the meter is turned on. The LCD displays all symbols firstly and then return to the normal mode. If the symbol is displayed, please changed the battery.
Operation Performed Button Data Output is in progress First phase symbol Ø1 Ø2 Second phase symbol Ø3 Third phase symbol Unit for hour mm Unit for minute Hz: Hertz.The unit of frequency. PG: The unit of phase angle KVAr KVAr. The unit of reactive power Watt: Sum of Watt The battery is low.
1. Rotate the Function switch to any measurement position. 2. Place the detector probe tip on the conductor to be tested. NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, move the probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip close to the live conductor.
4. Press SEL to select phase location, the display shows the corresponding phase symbol. L1 means the first phase , L2 means Ø1 the second phase , L3 means the third phase Ø2 Ø3 5. The display shows the corresponding True RMS voltage value and frequency value of each phase.

To measure AC current + AC voltage, connect the Meter as follows: 1. Dial the Rotary to AAC to select AC Current + AC Voltage range. 2. Press the lever to open the transformer jaw. 3. Center the conductor within the transformer jaw, then release the Meter slowly until the transformer jaw is completely closed, Make sure the conductor to be tested is placed at the center of the transformer jaw, otherwise it will cause deviation.

Press ▲ as figure 14 to step through in sequence threephase sum of active power+three phase sum of reactive power, and three phase sum of power factor + 3 phase sum of apparent power. Figure 14 Press Σ and hold for 1 second again to change back to the normal measuring mode.
1. Insert blue, red test leads to L1, L3 input terminal. 2. Insert black test leads to COM input terminal and connect it to the neutral wire of the 3 phase. 3. Jump over to the second phase measurement. 4. The first and the third phase measuring method is same as 3 phase 4 wires.

Figure 18 The double display shows the first phase value of power factor PF and phase angle PG. Then press SEL again to choose the second phase, see figure 19. • Press SEL to choose the second phase, see figure 19. Figure 19 The double display shows the second phase value of power factor PF and phase angle PG.
5. When measuring 3 phase 3 wires: • The first phase and third phase operating method is same as 3 phase 4 wires. • Jump over the second phase measurement. 6. MAXMIN button are not valid when measuring power factor. 8.8.
• The maximum reading of active energy is 9999kWh. OL will be displayed when the reading is over than that. 5. MAXMIN are not valid when measuring active energy. 6. Press CLEAR and hold for 1 seconds to reset the time and energy. Note •...
