Accurately detect electricity theft

• The CM3286 is ideal for verifying electricity theft since it can measure both AC

power and current.

• The instrument’s electricity theft detection-and-report function can be used to
quickly and easily make measurements and generate reports (CM3286-01 only).

Detect by measuring

current

Electricity theft can be detected by measuring current
on the power supply side of the illegal connection.

Illegal
connection

Measure currents as low as
60 mA simply by clamping
the instrument to two lines
at once, ensuring you’ll de­tect any theft.

Quick and easy data recording
Hold measured values to send them to a smartphone

When you freeze the mea­sured value, it is automatically
transferred to a smartphone or
tablet, eliminating the need to
jot down readings by hand. You
can also create a simple PDF
report right there in the field,
and save data in CSV format
for later editing in Excel.

Electricity theft detection-and­report function

Simply follow the measurement procedure
to take mea sureme nts and ph otographs
at four lo catio ns and the instrument will
automat icall y generate a report, complete
with pho tos.

Since t he repor t is gen erated a utomati-

in the field based on captured mea-

cally
sureme nt data, it’s impossible f or others to
alter the data.

Delivering a broad range of measurements at
sites from manufacturing plants to households

• Accurately measure power from 5 W at a current as low as 60 mA to 360 kW at a
maximum of 600 A (single-phase power measurement).

• In addition to current, voltage, and power, measure simple integral power

consumption and phase sequence.

• Obtain accurate readings with true RMS measurement.

Simple wiring guide

The CM3286 provides a simple on-screen guide
indicating how to connect it to a 3-phase circuit.

AUTO HOLD

The clamp meters beep when the measured value sta­bilizes and then automatically hold the display value.
This is useful when using the instrument in loca-

tions where it is difcult to see the display or press

the hold button.

Easily check power supply uctuations

Since it can display maximum (MAX), minimum
(MIN), and average (AVG) values, the CM3286 is
useful when you need to ascertain the magnitude

of uctuations.

And since it can also measure crest (PEAK) val­ues, you can use it to check fluctuations at the
crest value level.

Quickly check for unbalance

The CM3286 can measure unbalanced power in a
3-phase/ 3-wire circuit by measuring the single-phase
power twice and then automatically adding the re­sults. (The instrument can also measure 3-phase/4­wire circuits in three separate measurements.)

Double warnings with sound and light

When the clamp power meter detects excessively
over current or voltage input during a continuity
check, it alerts you with a red backlight and beep­ing tone in order to help prevent accidents.

CAT IV 600 V

The CM3286 can safely measure service wires
with a wire-to-ground voltage of up to 600 V as
well as wires found in distribution panels.
The clamp meters also feature a safe design that
can withstand a transient overvoltage of 8 kV in
case of a lightning strike.

Harmonic measure­ment function

The CM3286- 01 can measure
the har monic level, cont ent
percentage, and total harmonic

Although CM3286 is designed to resist the ingress of dust and dripping water, it is not entirely waterproof or dustproof.
Therefore, to prevent an electric shock, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
