Model UT233: OPERATING MANUAL
Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: in
pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 600V,
CAT IV 300V) and double insulation.
CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller
transient overvoltages than CAT. IV.
CAT IV: Primary supply level, overhead lines, cable
systems.
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be
impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and
actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage
the Meter or the equipment under test.
A Note identifies the information that user should pay
attention to.
International electrical symbols used on the Meter and
4
in this Operating Manual are explained on page 6.
Rules For Safe Operation
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test, adhere to the following rules:
l
Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do
not use the Meter if it is damaged or the case
(or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracks
or missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulation
around the connectors.
l
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation
or exposed metal. Replace damaged test leads
with identical model number or electrical
specifications before using the Meter.
l
Do not apply more that the rated voltage, as
marked on the Meter.
l
When measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the test
leads and the circuit under test, remove the
Model UT233: OPERATING MANUAL
testing leads away from the input terminals of
the Meter and turn the Meter power off.
l
Do not carry out the measurement when the
Meterís back case and / or battery door is opened
to avoid electric shock.
l
When the Meter working at an effective voltage
over 30V in AC, special care should be taken.
l
Use the proper terminals and function for your
measurements.
l
Do not use or store the Meter in an environment
of high temperature, humidity, explosive,
inflammable and strong magnetic field. The
performance of the Meter may deteriorate after
dampened.
l
Do not use the Meter if the surface of it is wet
or the userís hands are wet.
l
When using the test leads, keep your fingers
behind the finger guards.
l
Replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator appears. With a low battery, the
Meter might produce false readings that can
lead to electric shock and personal injury.
l
When opening the battery door, must make sure
the Meter is power off.
l
When servicing the Meter, use only the same
model number or identical electrical
specifications replacement parts.
l
The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be
altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and
any accident.
l
Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used
to clean the surface of the Meter when servicing.
No abrasive and solvent should be used to
prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion,
damage and accident.
l
Turn the Meter off when it is not in use and take
out the battery when not using for a long time.
l
Constantly check the battery as it may leak
when it has been using for some time, replace
the battery as soon as leaking appears. A
leaking battery will damage the Meter.

To test for Active Energy (main display) + Active Power
(left secondary display) + Time (right secondary display),
connect the Meter as follows:
1.
Press the MENU to select Active Energy (main
display) + Active Power (left secondary display) +
Time (right secondary display) range.
2.
Press the lever to open the transformer jaw, and
clamp them to the corrresponding phase of tested
conductor. If user needs to mesaure any phase of
the 3 phase, then clamp them to that phaseís
conductor.
3.
The connecting method of 3 phases 4 wires, 3
phases 3 wires or single phase 2 wires, see figure
4, 5 and 6.

4.
Press SELECT to choose one of the three phases
( 1, 2, 3), see figure 30.
Figure 30
The double display shows the value of tested
objectís active engergy kWh value and the
measuring time of the corresponding phase.
The measuring reading gets increasing along with
the time increases. Press HOLD to read a particular
time kWh value. Then the reading and time are
locked, but still continuous accumulate measuring
time.
After read the data, press HOLD again to continous
measurement. kWh value continous accumulate
and the measuring time jumps to the present
measuring time.

When the measuring time is over 24 hours or
the Meter is switched to other measuring ranges,
active energy measuring will stop.
The maximum readinng of acitve energy is
9999kWh. OL will be displayed when the reading
is over than that.

Note
When there is no input signal, it cannot carry out
active energy measurement.
When there is input signal, the maximum waiting
time is around 10s before timing.
When testing has been completed, disconnect the
connection between the testing leads and the circuit
under test and remove testing leads from the input
terminals.

MAINTENANCE
This section provides basic maintenance information
including battery replacement instruction.
Warning
Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unless
you are qualified to do so and have the relevant
calibration, performance test, and service
information.
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the Meter,
do not get water inside the case.
A. General Service
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
To clean the terminals with cotton bar with detergent,
as dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings.
Turn the Meter power off when it is not in use.
Take out the battery when it is not using for a long
time.
Do not use or store the Meter in a place of humidity,
high temperature, explosive, inflammable and strong
magnetic field.
B. Replacing the Battery (see figure 37)
Figure 37
45
Warning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible
electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery
as soon as the battery indicator ì î appears.
Make sure the transformer jaw and the tests leads
are disconected from the circuit being tested before
opening the case bottom.
To replace the battery:.
1.
Press POWER to turn the Meter off and remove all
the connections from the input terminals
2.
Turn the Meterís front case down.
3.
Remove the screw from the battery door, and
separate the battery door from the case bottom.
4.
Take out the old battery and replace with 4 x 1.5V
battery (LR6).
5.
Rejoin the case bottom and the battery compartment,
and reinstall the screw.
