This instrument has been built & tested as per IEC publications
prepared by Technical Committee No.66 ( Ref. No. CEI/IEC 10101:1990 ) : Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control & laboratory use. This instructions manual
provides information and warning data which must be taken into
consideration by the user for safety of operator and instrument.
SAFETY PR ECAUTIO N S TO BE TAKEN BEFORE
SETTING THE INSTRUMENT INTO SERVICE :
Warning :Any interruption of the safety lead inside or
outside the unit or disconnection of the
protection ground terminal may render the
instrument dangerous. An intentional
disconnection is prohibited.
When the instrument is to be supplied via an auto-transformer, in
order to reduce the supply voltage available, make sure the common
terminal is connected to the neutral point (grounded) of the supply
circuit. The jack should only be into a plug fitted with a grounding
piece. The safety connection should never be interrupted by the
use of an extension cord without a protection (ground) lead.
The power supply cord must be connected to the mains network
(with good value), before connecting the control of the measuring
circuits.
SYMBOLS (as marked on equipment or in this manual) :
Vector model 1522 Digital Wattmeter is an accurate low
cost instrument designed for use in Engneering, Quality
control and Production Test departments to determine the
power consumption of equipments operating directly from
a standard 110 - 150V AC, 60Hz line. Instrument features
large L.E.D. display.
In addition to power measurement, the wattmeter
measures AC (true RMS) voltage and AC (true RMS)
current.
The Digital Wattemeter is easy to operate. Each
measurement function, voltage (V), current (I) or power
(W) is selected by a simple pushbutton switch on the front
panel.
The Digital Wattmeter can be connected to two different
loads. The total load current can be upto 20A maximum.
Before operating the instrument, read the manual
thoroughly and make sure that you understand and observe
all safety instructions.The maximum continuous output
current on the outlets(Front/Rear) should not exceed the
maximum current indicated on the front panel.
The "ON" Switch provided on the front panel can be used
to connect or disconnect the power to the load. Initally,
keep the Power 'ON' switch on the front panel in the 'OFF'
position.
Connect the instrument to the power line. Connect the load
to the outlet on the front panel and turn on the switch on
the front panel to the 'ON' position.
Voltage measurement :
As soon as the Digital Wattmeter is connected to the power
line, the voltage measurement function is automatically
selected and the voltage across the outlet is indicated on
the display.

To measure load current, press the 'A' switch. The load
current is indicated in Amps.
Wattage measurement :
To measure the load power (Watts), press the 'W' switch.
The load power is indicated in Watts.
The Model 1522 Digital Wattmeter measures true rms
values of voltage across the load, the load current and
the power consumed by the load (real power in Watts ).
Main PCB (ref: WD 76XX-01)
The line voltage is sensed at the "VIN H" and "VIN L"
terminals. It is attenuated by a factor of approx.50 and
connected to the inputs of IC16 (TL071). The circuit
associated with IC16 converts the "floating" signal to a
"single-ended" signal. The waveform on test point TPV1
is a scaled version of the line input voltage. This signal
is connected to IC14 (AD736), which is a RMS - DC
converter. The output at pin 6 of IC14 is a DC voltage
proportional to the input line voltage. Attenuator network
R31, PR10 (VCAL), and R33 is used to attenuate this DC
voltage by a factor of approximately 2. The DC voltage on
TPV2 should be exactly 1/100th the RMS value of the
input line voltage.

The load current is sensed by a "shunt" resistor, R16,
in the neutral return path. The voltage across R16 is
connected to the inputs of IC9 (TL071). The circuit
associated with IC9 converts the "floating" signal to a
"single-ended" signal. The waveform on test point TPI1
is a scaled version of the load current. This signal is
connected to IC12 (AD736), which is a RMS - DC
converter. The output at pin 6 of IC12 is a DC voltage
proportional to the input load current. The resistor
network R30, PR9 (ICAL), and R28 is used to amplify this
DC voltage by a factor of approximately 4.0. The DC
voltage on TPI2 should be adjusted to 200mV for a load
current of 10 A. IC15 (AD633) is an analog multiplier.
Signals from TPV1 (corresponding to the line voltage) and
TPI1 (corresponding to the load current) are connected
to input pins 4 and 2 resp. of IC15. The output on pin
7 corresponds to waveform of the instantaneous power
consumed by the load.
The instantaneous power consumed by the load. :
w(t)=v(t) * i(t)
where, w(t), v(t) and i(t) are instantaneous values of power,
voltage and current respectively.
The instantanous power waveform is filtered by R32, C11
and buffered by IC17 (TL071). IC18 (TL071) is configured
as a non-inverting amplifier.
The gain is decided by the ratio of R34 and R42. Preset
PR15 (WCAL) is used to set this gain to 2. The DC
voltage at test point TPW2 should be adjusted to 200mV
for a load power of 1000 W.
Monitor the waveform on TPI1 on an oscilloscope and
adjust preset PR5 (I-CMRR) so that the trace is flat. This
can also be verified on an AC millivoltmeter. The reading
will be minimum at the correct setting. With the Digital
Wattmeter switched off, reconnect the VIN H and VIN L
inputs on the Main pcb. Switch on the Digital Wattmeter.
VOLTAGE CALIBRATION :
Measure the line voltage with a multimeter (AC voltage
measurement). Adjust preset PR10 (VCAL) so that the
Digital Wattmeter shows the correct line voltage.
CURRENT CALIBRATION :
Connect a suitable resistive load across the output
terminals and an AC current meter in series with it.
Select the current function "A". Adjust preset PR9 (ICAL)
so that the Digital Wattmeter shows the correct load
current.
POWER (W) CALIBRATION :
Connect a suitable resistive load across the output
terminals. Measure the voltage and current as given above.
Select the power function "W". Adjust preset PR15
(WCAL) so that the Digital Wattmeter shows the correct
power as given by the following equation :
W= V * I
(Since the load is resistive, power factor is 1)
DIGITAL PANEL METER (DPM) :
The reference voltage of the DPM is set to 1.00V.
The Main pcb(767/01) has two test points marked DPM
and GND. With reference to this test point (GND),
measure the voltage on pin 36 of the IC1(7107) on DPM
pcb (DPM-0295). Set this voltage to 1.00V by adjusting
the preset PR1 on the DPM pcb.
MAIN PCB :
The Main pcb has two test points marked DPM and GND.
All calibration should be done with reference to the test
point marked GND.
With the Digital Wattmeter switched off, disconnect the
VIN H and VIN L inputs of the Main pcb. (Take care to
maintain the correct connection sequence during
reconnection later). Switch on the Digital Wattmeter.
DC OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS :
Adjust the presets as shown in the table and ensure that
the DC voltage at the corresponding test point is within 0
V ± 1 mV.
