General Guideline

CAUTION

 Make sure that the voltage input level does not

exceed AC600V.

 Make sure the current input level does not

exceed 20A.

 Do not place any heavy object on the

instrument.

 Avoid severe impact or rough handling that can

lead to damaging the instrument.

 Do not discharge static electricity to the

instrument.

 Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

 Do not block or obstruct the cooling fan vent

opening.

 Do not perform measurement at the source of a

low-voltage installation or at building
installations (Note below).

 Do not disassemble the instrument unless you

are qualified as service personnel.

 Make sure that the COM terminal to earth is

limited to 600Vpk.

 Remove all test leads before disconnecting the

mains power cord from the socket.

 If the equipment is used in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

 The device should be placed in a way that the

plug connected to it can be removed easily.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Note) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the measurement categories and
their requirements as follows. The T3PM1100 falls under category II
600V.

 Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the

source of low-voltage installation.

 Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the

building installation.

 Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the

circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.

Power Supply

WARNING

 AC Input voltage: 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz
 The power supply voltage should not fluctuate

more than 10%.

 Connect the protective grounding conductor of

the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid
electrical shock.

Cleaning the
Instrument

 Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
 Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

 Do not use chemicals containing harsh material

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation
Environment

 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

 Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
 Humidity: < 30°C: < 80%RH(non-condensing);

30°C~40°C:<70%RH(non-condensing);
>40°C: <50%RH (non-condensing)

 Altitude: <2000m
 Overvoltage category: OVC II

(Note) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees and their
requirements as follows. The T3PM1100 falls under degree 2.

 Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or

gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of
dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.

 Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

 Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution

occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.

 Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.

Storage
environment

 Location: Indoor
 Temperature: -40°C to 70°C
 Humidity: <90%RH(non-condensing)

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

Warning

 Do not use damaged device. Before using the

equipment, check its housing first to sure ensure
there are no cracks. Do not operate this device in
an environment containing explosive gases, steam
or dust.

 The maximum measurable current and voltage are

600 V and 20A for voltage and current terminals of
the rear panel of the T3PM1100. Do not input
exceeded voltage and current, otherwise it will burn
the device.

 The maximum input voltage are 10 V and 2V for

EXT1 and EX2 terminals of the rear panel of the
T3PM1100. Do not input exceeded voltage,
otherwise it will burn the device.

 Always use the supplied cable for connection.
 Before connecting the device, observe all the safety

symbols marked on the device.

 Turn off the power to the device and the application

system before connecting I/O terminals.

 Do not install replacement parts on the device or

perform any unauthorized modifications.

Example

To begin, the measured Irms value is within the
current range of I-Auto 20mA.

The measured Irms (27.194mA) exceeds the I­Auto 20mA by 130%, so the range is shifted up
to 50mA automatically.

The measured Irms (3.9994mA) is less than 30%
of the I-Auto 20mA, so the range is shifted
down to 10mA automatically.

Measurement function

The T3PM1100 provides a wide range of basic electricity and power
measurement functions. It is equipped with measurement
parameters for accurately measuring the voltage, current, power,
DC/AC/AC + DC/V-MEAN, power factor, harmonics, frequency,
etc. The input impedance of the device is 2MΩ, the maximum input
voltage is 600Vrms. There are 2 sets of internal resistance (Shunt),
500mΩ and 5mΩ respectively. Also, there are 2 external current
input terminals (EXT1, EXT2). The maximum input current is
20Arms. The device will issue a warning sound when the input
voltage and current exceed 850 Vrms or 28.5Arms.
