Troubleshooting
The SmartReader Plus 3 seems to give wrong readings. What is wrong?
· If the graphs seem incorrect, check the equation number assigned to the graph file.
This equation number must correspond to the model number and setting of the current
probe used. Refer to
various current probes and settings.
· If your Realtime readings seem incorrect, check the equation number assigned to the
logger channel you are viewing. Make sure it corresponds to the model number and
active setting of the current probe you are using.
· If your equation numbers are correctly assigned and you are still getting incorrect
readings, it may be because you are measuring currents below 10% of the range. To
correct this, make sure the range setting on the probe is at the lowest possible range
that will encompass the readings you are interested in. For example, do not use the
250 amp range for recording currents below 25 amps. However, if the readings
fluctuate widely (for example, the difference between the day and night time power
consumption), it may be necessary to attach two probes -- one on a high range and the
other on a low range.
