Method of Operation

	Check carefully before using the instrument whether there are damaged parts. No damage is allowed
	The instrument is prohibited from use in dangerous places.
	Install the battery according to the manual
	Don’t simultaneously operate two or more buttons. The operation will be invalid.

 1. Switch On/Off

Press ON button to switch on as shown on the LCD or press OFF to switch off. Boot needs 5 seconds to finish internal automatic calibration of the instrument. The device powers off automatically after 15 minutes.

2. Backlight Control

Press  to control the backlight in dim places.

3. Date Lock / Release / Storage

In test mode, press HOLD key to Lock currently displayed value and display “HD “symbol. At the same time, these lock-values as a set of data followed by auto-ID display the group number such as“S:01”. Then press the HOLD key to cancel the lock. “HD” symbol disappears. The user can continue to measure. Loop operation can store 500 sets of data. If the memory is full, the LCD display will show “FULL” symbol.

4. Date Access / Exit

In the test state, press the MEMU key to access date inquiry form group “R:01”, and display “RD” symbol. It is allowed to rapidly navigate to the desired page number. Press “ △ ”key to increase the page number by one. Press ”▽” key to increase the page number by ten. Press “◁”key to exit date inquiry and back to test state.

5. Data deletion

In the data inquiry state, press “▷”key to access data deletion menu. Press the MEMU key with the cursor located at “YES” to delete the stored data. Press the MEMU key with the cursor at “NO” to cancel the deletion and return to the test state.

6. Date Upload

Connect the meter and a computer with the USB-RS232 communication line. Start the meter, run the software, choose history access then read, save, report, print historical data, etc. The more the data the longer it takes to read it. Historical data can be saved in Txt text or Excel format.

Measurement

	High voltage, extremely dangerous! Operators shall strictly observe safety rules; otherwise there would be risk of electric shock which causes personal injuries or casualties
	Dangerous！Cannot be used to measure voltage higher than 600 V; otherwise there would be risk of electric shock which causes personal injuries or equipment damages
	Dangerous! Cannot be used to test current higher than 20 A. Otherwise it may damage the equipment.

	Connect the wire strictly in accordance with the manual instructions. I1 and I2 cannot be confused
	After testing, firstly move the test wire away from the measured circuit and then pull out the test wire from meter.

	Phase Test relationship of the instrument: U1U2、I1I2、U1I1、U2I2, for every relationship the measured phase shows the former signal ahead of the latter signal.
	P1、Q1、S1、PF1 corresponding to the parameters of U1-I1;  P2、Q2、S2、PF2 corresponding to the parameters of U2-I2.
	The red U1, U2 voltage jacks and the red dot marks or arrow symbols on the clamp are dotted terminals
	In phase test, the direction of the input current should be in line with the arrow symbol on the clamp

This instrument can test two AC voltage, current, phase between voltage, phase between current, phase between voltage and current, frequency, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, three-phase current vector sum, distinguish phase sequence, inductive,  capacitive circuit, etc.

Test connections are as follows:

Single-phase test: Connecting the measured wire L/N corresponding to U1 red/COM black jack of the instrument. Clamp L wire by current clamp I1 to test the single line voltage, current, phase, frequency, power parameters, etc. Also the user can connect U2 red, COM, I2 to test. This is shown below:

Three-phase four-wire test: Connect the wires in two steps to test three-phase four-wire voltage, current, phase, phase sequence, frequency, power, power factor, etc as shown below (The two COM ports of the instrument is internally short circuited, connect either of them to null line N)

Three-phase three-wire test: Connect the measured wire UA yellow, UB green, UC red corresponding to U1 red, COM black, U2 red  jack of the instrument. Clamp wire IA, IC respectively by current clamp I1, I2 to test three-phase three-wire voltage, current, phase, phase sequence, frequency, power, power factor, etc as shown below (The two COM ports of the instrument is internally short circuited, connect either of them to null line N)

During test, according to various phase relationship, inductive or capacitive loads, phase sequence and polarity can be judged. If U1I1 phase display within 0°～90°range, the measured load is perceptual; if within 270°～360° range, the measured load is capacitive. If the phase display is near 120°, it is positive phase sequence and the same polarity; if near 120°or 300°, it is positive phase sequence and the opposite polarity (may be current clamp or wire reverse connection). Other conditions for negative phase sequence (except default phase).

Battery Replacement

	Take note of the battery polarity. The polarity must be properly installed, otherwise it causes damage to the instruments
	Battery replacement is prohibited in hazardous area
	Must use qualified alkaline batteries（1.5V AA × 6）
	Old and new batteries are not allowed to be used together

1. “”is displayed when the power voltage is lower than 8 V ~ 8 V, indicating that the battery should be replaced
2. Press OFF to switch off
3. Use the cross screwdriver to loosen the screw on the battery cover. Open the battery cover.
4. Remove the old batteries and replace with the new battery. Please note the battery polarity
5. Cover the battery cover, tighten the screws
6. Press ON to switch on to check whether the instrument is working with the battery replaced. Repeat step 2 if it doesn’t work
7. Take out the batteries if the instrument will not be used for a long time.

Other Descriptions and Notes

1. The special utility of current clamp: The two current clamps of each meter can only be used on this instrument. The current clamp should be prevented from any impact. The clamp surface must be kept clean and should be closed completely for a reliable test
2. The maintenance of current clamp: The dust on the surface of the current clamp should be removed promptly after use; don’t use rough material or corrosive substances to clean the clamp. It is best to gently wipe with a clean soft cloth and lubricants (for example: WD-40 lubricants)
3. Preheat 3 to 5 minutes before the measurement to ensure the measurement accuracy
4. The instrument should be used for secondary and low-voltage circuit detection and cannot be used to measure the current of high-voltage lines to prevent electric shock.
