Basic Operation

Warning: If a power source of 220V is connected to the input voltage terminal/receptacle,

do not connect a110V device to the output load terminal/receptacle.

Using Receptacles

1. Plug one end of the power cord into the input receptacle and plug the other end into the wall

outlet.

2. Plug the device to be tested into the output load receptacle. The display will show the W, PF, V,

and A for the device under test.

Note 2: W= VA, 1KW = 1KVA = 1000W = 1000VA, when PF = 1.

Warning: The input receptacle and terminal are connected in parallel (as are the outputs).

To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any metal part of the receptacle or terminal.

Using Terminals

1. Plug one end of the power

leads into the input voltage

terminal (left) and connect

the other end of the test

leads to the power source.

2. Plug the device power

leads into the output load

terminals. W, PF, V, and A

will display for the device

under test.

Note 2: W=VA, 1KW = 1KVA = 1000W = 1000VA, when PF =1 at DC

Warning: The input and output receptacle and terminal are connected in parallel Do not

touch any metal part of the receptacle or terminal to avoid electrical shock.

Using a Current Transformer

Warning: Only personnel well trained in the principles of Current Transformers (CT)

should attempt this test connection. When connecting a CT, follow the wiring diagrams

and instructions below.

1. Connect the CT’s kterminal (entering the CT) to the power line that passes through the CT, and

connect this kterminal to the input voltage black terminal (ground).

2. Connect the other power line to the input voltage red terminal.

3. Connect the CT’s lterminal (leaving the CT) to the output load black terminal (ground).

4. The Watt reading and Amp reading should be multiplied by the CT ratio. The V and PF readings

do not need to be multiplied by the CT ratio.

Warning: The input receptacles and terminals are connected in parallel (as are the

outputs). Do not touch any metal part of the receptacle or terminal.

PC Interface for Data Acquisition & Datalogging Features

Data Acquisition

Models 380801 and 380803 can be connected to a PC where readings can be logged in real-time as

they are taken. Transferred reading data can be viewed, plotted, statistically analyzed, printed, saved,

and imported in spreadsheet, database, word processing, and other software programs. Instructions

for Data Acquisition are included in the separate Data Acquisition and Datalogging Manual on the

software disc.

Datalogging (Model 380803 only)

The Model 380803 has built-in memory where over one thousand readings can be stored for later

transfer to PC. Once transferred, data can be viewed, plotted, statistically analyzed, printed, saved as

a text file, and imported in spreadsheet, database, word processing, and other software programs

Instructions for Datalogging are included in the separate Data Acquisition and Datalogging Manual.

Note: A “Leading and Trailing bytes” error message can be caused by a RS232 COM port voltage

incompatibility. Use a Serial to USB adaptor to resolve the problem.

Replacement of Batteries and 20A Fuse

Battery Replacement

When the low battery symbol is displayed on any of

the LCDs, replace the eight (8) 1.5V ‘AA’ batteries.

1. Turn off the power analyzer.

2. Open the battery compartment by using a screw

driver (see diagram).

3. Replace the batteries.

4. Replace the battery compartment.

20A Fuse Replacement

To replace the 20A fuse, remove the fuse cover as

indicated in item (5) in the Meter Description section

earlier in this manual and replace the fuse if

necessary.

Warning: Do not replace the blown fuse with a fuse rating greater than 20A.

Measurement of 3-Phase 3-Wire Power
