1. INTRODUCTION The VAF is a panel mounted 96 x 96mm DIN Quadratic Digital Panel Meter for the measurement of important electrical parameters like AC Voltage, AC Current, RPM, Frequency. The instrument integrates accurate measurement technology (All Voltages & current measurements are True RMS upto 15th Harmonic) with 3 line 3 digits Ultra high bright LED display.
3. Programming The following sections comprise step by step procedures for conguring the VAF for individual user requirements. To access the set-up screens press and hold the “DOWN” and “UP” keys Simultaneously. This will take the User into the Password Entry screen (Section 3.1). In Setup mode, if none of the key pressed within 1 min, it will returns operation to the measurement mode.
