This Quick manual is a simplified version of the full instruction manual which can be found in
the supplied CD-ROM. This manual is intended only as a handy reference guide and should
only be used after having read the full instruction manual which contains full details on each
function of this instrument and the items contained in the package.
● Safety Warning!
The instruction manual contains warnings and safety procedures which have to be observed
ensure safe operation of the instrument and maintain it in a safe condition. Thus, these
to
operating instructions have to be read prior to using the instrument.
This is a Clamp-type Power Quality Analyzer that can be used for various wiring systems.
It can be used for simple measurements of instantaneous/ integration/ demand values, and also for
analysis of harmonics and events related to power quality and for the simulation of power factor
correction with capacitor banks. Moreover, it can display waveforms and vectors of voltage and current.
Data can be saved either in the SD card or the internal memory, and can be transferred to PC via USB,
or in real time via Bluetooth communication.
Safety construction
Designed to meet the international safety standard IEC 61010-1 CAT.IV 300V/ CAT.III 600V/ CAT.II 1000V.
Power quality analysis
KEW6315 is designed to meet the international standard IEC61000-4-30 Class S and can measure
frequency and r.m.s. voltage with high accuracy, and also can analyze harmonics. Moreover, it can
measure swell, dip, interruption, transient, inrush current and flicker all at once without a gap.
Power measurement
KEW6315 measures active/reactive/apparent power, electrical energy, power factor, r.m.s. current, phase
angle and neutral current simultaneously.
Electricity consumption can be easily monitored so a
Waveform/ vector display
Voltage and current can be displayed by waveform or vector.
Saving data
KEW6315 is endowed with a logging function with the preset recording interval. Data can be saved by manual
operation or by specifying date & time. Screen data can be saved by using the Print Screen function.
Dual power supply system
KEW6315 operates either with AC power supply or with batteries. Both dry-cell batteries (alkaline) and
rechargeable batteries (Ni-MH) can be used. To charge the rechargeable battery, use the charger which is manufactured by the same company as the batteries. In the event of power interruption, while operating with
AC power supply, power to the instrument is automatically restored by the batteries in the instrument.

Light & compact design
Clamp sensor type, compact and light weight design.
Application
Data in the SD card or the internal memory can be saved in PC via USB. Analysis of the downloaded
data and instrument settings are possible by using the special software “KEW Windows for KEW6315”.
Real-time communication is available via Bluetooth.
Input/ Output function
Analog signals from thermometers or light sensors ca
data via 2 analog inputs (DC voltage); when any events related to power quality occur, signals can be
transmitted to alarm devices via one digital output.
s not to exceed the target maximum demand values.
n be measured simultaneously with electrical power
KEW6315 operates with either an AC power supply or batteries. Capable of performing measurements in
the event of AC power interruption, power to the instrument is automatically restored by the batteries
installed in the instrument. AA size alkaline battery (LR6) and AA size rechargeable battery (Ni-MH) can
be both used. To charge the rechargeable battery, use the charger which is manufactured by the same
company as the batteries. KEW6315 cannot charge batteries.
If an AC supply is interrupted and the batteries have not been inserted, the instrument goes off and
all data may lost.

Possible continuous measurement hours:
- approx 3 hours with size AA alkaline batteries, and
- approx 4.5 hours with size AA Ni-MH (1900mA/h) batteries.
* These are ref. values with LCD turned off.
Instrument works normally.
* Voltage of full-charged Ni-MH battery is lower than the one of the
full-charged alkaline battery, so the level indicator may not be the
same as the one shown above even after fully charged.
Measurement continues, but data save is ceased.
(Further data will not be saved, but the data measured
before the battery level drops to the lowest level are
saved.)

How to install batteries:
Install batteries in correct polarity
as marked inside.
Battery power is consumed even if the instrument is being off. Remove all the batteries if the instrument is
to be stored and will not be in use for a long period.

Measurement method
Swell/ Dip/ Int/ Inrush current
Each event will be detected with the r.m.s. values in one gapless waveform and with a half-wave overlapping. The beginning of the waveform where the first event is detected is regarded as the start of the
event. If further events are not detected in the following waveform, the beginning of the waveform is
regarded as the end of the event. The detected event is assumed to be continued between the start to
the end of event detection.
Example: Dip event detection
*
Int events are detected in the same method.

Inrush current events are detected in the same method.
Voltage waveforms will be monitored at approx 40ksps, gapless, to calculate and check for transient event
every 200ms. The beginning of the 200ms period where the first transient is detected is regarded as the
start of the event. If further events are not detected in the following 200ms period, the beginning of the
period is regarded as the end of the event. The detected transient is assumed to be continued between the
start to the end of event detection.

Saved data
When an event occurs and is detected, KEW6315 records the type of the event, start/ end time and the
values. The following data will also be recorded. The event waveform is recorded for 200ms during the
1 sec of the data refresh period.
Event waveform
Waveforms and also event data on all the chs are recorded for approx. 200ms (50Hz: 10-cycle, 60Hz:
12-cycle) at 8192 points in total. When different events occur within 1 sec, only the waveforms which
contain the highest-priority events will be recorded. However, if the same type of events occur at the
same time, the one containing the highest (deepest) values will be recorded. If the highest (deepest)
values are also the same, the one with a longer duration will be recorded. As for the channels, there is
no priority order.
Priority order: Voltage transient-> Int-> Dip-> Swell-> Inrush current
RMS variations
Voltage/ current rms value (resolution: half-cycle) variations and event data on all chs are recorded for
1 sec at data refresh.
Pst value is displayed and refreshed every
minute.
Pst
Short-term flicker (Pst) is displayed and refreshed
every 10 min.
MAX: the max values detected through the start to
the end of measurement, and will be refreshed
every time when the max value is exceeded.
Plt
Long-term flicker (Plt) is displayed and refreshed
every 2 hours.
MAX: the max values detected through the start to
the end of measurement, and will be refreshed
every time when the max value is exceeded.
The file name will be assigned automatically. File no. is kept and saved, even after powering off the
instrument, untill the system is reset. The file number will increase until it exceeds “999”.

: It is reccomended to transfer the large data by use of SD card since transfering large data files by
USB requires more time than using the SD card reader. (transfer time : approx 320MB/ hour)
As to the manipulation of SD cards, please refer to the instruction manual attached to the card.
In order to save data without any problem, make sure to delete the files other than the data measured
