Operating Instructions

NOTE: Ensure that the jaws are clear of any conductors before applying power to the

meter. The meter performs an auto zero upon power-up to null any residual magnetism.

If this is done with a conductor inside the jaw area, the auto zero function will cause

subsequent measurements to be inaccurate.

AC/DC 1φ2W Apparent/Reactive Power Measurements (KVA+KVAR)

NOTE: Before taking any measurements, zero the current (A) reading and

set the rotary switch to the KVA position.

Follow the steps listed in section entitled DC+AC 1φ2W Power (W) and Power Factor

(PF) measurement for these measurements. KVAR is a calculated value, and its

accuracy greatly depends on the accuracy of the V, A, and KW readings. To obtain a

more accurate KVAR value when PF is greater than 0.91 (φ< 25°), measure the phase

angle and obtain the KVAR from the following equation for a pure sine wave:

KVAR = KVA * sin φ

Phase Angle Measurements

1. Set the rotary switch to the A position. If the current reading is not zero, press the

DCA ZERO button.

2. Set the rotary switch to the Phase position.

3. Insert the test leads into the input jacks.

4. Connect the test lead inserted in the COM (black) terminal to the reference line.

5. Connect the test lead connected to the V (red) terminal to the voltage signal under

test.

6. Clamp on to the wire where the V (red) terminal is connected.

7. If current signal is detected from the jaws, the phase angle will be displayed in

degrees on the LCD together with the frequency of the voltage.

8. If current is not detected, only the frequency of the voltage will be displayed while

the phase angle display will be left blank.

INDUCTIVE LOAD: A negative phase angle indicates that the current signal lags the

voltage signal. A negative phase angle also indicates an inductive load.

CAPACITIVE LOAD: A positive phase angle indicates that the current signal leads

the voltage signal. A positive phase angle also indicates a capacitive load.

NOTE: The "+" sign printed on the clamp jaw must face the power source for correct

readings.
