380976 V3.1 6/ 08 2 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Ex tech 380976 Po wer Clamp-On Meter. Th is device measures 1 Φ /3 Φ Power (True, Apparent, a nd Reactive), Horsepower, Phase Angle, True RMS Current/Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, & Temperature.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 3 Warranty EXTECH INSTRUMENTS CORP ORATION warrants this instrument to be f ree of defects in parts and workmanship for one year from date of shipment (a six month limited warranty applies to sensors and cables).
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 4 Meter Description 1. Transformer Jaws 2. Jaw opening trigger 3. Data Hold & MX/MN button 4. Function Selector 5. Range button 6.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 5 Measurements AC + DC Voltage Measuremen ts WA RN ING The maximum input is 600V. Do no attemp t voltage measurements above this limit. Exceeding this limit coul d cause electrical shoc k and damage to the meter. 1. Set the rotary switch to the ‘ V’ position.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 6 AC Power Measurements 1 Φ KW, KVA, KVAR, Power Factor & Phase Angle Measurement 1. Set the rotary switch to the ‘KW/KVA’ position. 2. Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Black to ‘COM’ and Red to ‘V’. 3.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 7 3 Φ 3-Wire KW, HP, KVA, KVAR, Power Factor & Phase Angle Measurement 1. First, measure W RS(L1L2) (r efer to the diagram below). a. Set the rotary switch to the “ V ”. b. Press and hold the “ HOLD ” key wh ile setting the rotary switch to “KW/KVA”, the 3 φ 3W and W L12 symbols will appear.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 8 3. The power clamp will process these tw o sets of data (W L12 , W L23 ), and show the result on the LCD. The W L123 symbol will be shown to indicate 3 φ 3W power.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 9 NOTE Once a phase is selected as COM, user s can not change this selection in the subsequent measurement. For example, if S (or L2) phase is selected, S (or L2) phase is always connected to t he COM during measurement of W RS (or W L1L2 ) and W TS (or W L3L2 ) in 3 φ 3W unbalanced power.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 10 3 Φ 4-Wire KW, HP, KVA, KVAR, Power Factor & Phase Angle Measurement 1. First, measure W R(L1) (refer to t he diagram below).
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 11 3. Third, measure W T(L3) (refer to the diagram th at follows the steps below) a. Disconnect the test probe from the phase where the jaws were clamped in the previous measurement. b. Connect the test probe of the V (red) terminal to the third phase (e.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 12 4. The power clamp will proce ss these three sets of dat a (W L1, W L2 W L3 ) and show t he result o n the LCD. Th e WL 123 symbol will be shown t o indicate the 3 φ 4W pow er (refer t o diagr am). The 3 φ 4W power value in watts is now stored in the meter’s memory.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 13 6. W 3 φ 4W = W R(L1) + W S( L2) W T(L3) KVA K W KVAR WW W 34 2 34 2 34 φφ φ =+ PF K W KVA W W W 34 34 34 φ φ φ = 7. Set the rotary switch to another position to exit this mode and clear the stored dat a. NOTE 1. The "+" sign printed on meter must face the power source for accurate measurement.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 14 Capacitance Measureme nts 1. Fully discharge the capacitor under test before proceeding. 2. Insert the test leads into the input jacks. (Black to ‘COM’ and Red to ‘ ’). 3. Set the rotary switch to the ‘ ’ position. 4. Connect the red and black test leads to the capacitor.
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 15 Meter Control Keys HOLD - MX/MN Ke y Data Hold Function Press this key momentarily to put the meter into Data Hold mode ( HOLD will appear on the LCD). In this mode, the meter freezes the displayed reading. To exit the Data Hold mode, press the key again (the HOLD icon will switch off).
380976 V3.1 6/ 08 16 Automatic Sleep Mode and Battery Replacement The Meter is powered by a 9V battery. An AUTO SLEEP feature is included to prese rve battery life. Note: The Auto Power OFF feature is disabled when the meter is in the MIN/MAX mode Note: In the sleep mode the meter continues to dr aw a small amount of battery current.
