Safety Information
1. Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the meter.
2. Read all operating instructions before use.
3. To avoid damage to the instrument do not exceed the published input limits.
4. Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear damaged. Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Accidental contact with a conductor could result in electric shock.
5. Use the meter only as specified in this manual otherwise the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.
6. Use caution when working with voltages above 60VDC or 30VAC RMS. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
7. Before taking resistance or continuity measurements, disconnect the circuit from the main power supply and disconnect all loads from the circuit.
8. Safety Specifications:
Installation categories III
Pollution degree 2
Altitude: 2000m max
Indoor use only

WARNING
Do not clamp on to a conductor when zeroing the jaw's
residual magnetic field until the LCD reads zero.
1. With the clamp jaws empty, turn the clamp meter on by setting the rotary switch to the KW position (refer to figure 3).
2. Insert the test leads into the input terminals (black lead to COM and red lead to '+').
3. Connect the probe end of the black test lead to the neutral line.
4. Connect the probe end of the red lead to the power line.
5. Clamp the meter onto the conductor where the red test lead is connected.
6. The power clamp will automatically select the appropriate range.
7. Read the Watt (middle of display) and PF (top display) values on the LCD.
8. Press the READ button to scroll through the dual displays of KW + PF, A + V, and KVA + PF.

Note: When calculating KVAR, the KVAR accuracy greatly depends on V, A and KW
measurement accuracy (especially when PF is very close to 1). To get a more accurate value when PF is greater than 0.91 (φ < 25°), use the following equation for a pure sine wave
KW
PF =
KVA (Apparent Power): KVA =
KVA
KVAR (Reactive Power): KVAR=
Note
: The "+" sign printed on the jaw must face the power source.
