Tis device measures True RMS Voltage, Current, Power, Frequency, Resistance/Continuly, and Phase Angle. The bul-n datalogger stores upto 1600 readings. Optional PC software permits meter-io-PC data transfers, An optional 3-phase ‘adapter provides KW, KVA, or PF measurements of unbalanced loads. Careful use of this meter will provide years of reliable service. Safety ‘Read the following safely information caeluly before using or servicing the meter Do not exceed the maximum input mits published inthe specifications below. "Never measure current while the test leads are inserted inthe meters input jacks. Donat use the meter or the test leads iether appears damaged, Use extreme caution when working near bus bars or bare conductors. Buin safety protection may be impaired if meter isnot used per user's manual Use caution when working with voltages above 6OVDC or 30VAC RMS. Before resistancercontinuty measurements, disconnect powesiloads from the cult ‘This symbol, adjacent to another symbol or terminal, indicates the user must refer tothe manual Tor furtne information, ‘This symbol, adjacent toa terminal, indicates that, under normal use, hazardous voltages may be present Double insulation WARNING: This indicates tha a potentially hazardous condition which, ifnot avoided, could resultin death or serious Injury CAUTION: This indicates that a potentially hazardous condition wich f not avoided, ‘could result in injury or damage to the meter.Specifications General Specifications Environmental consttons ‘= Installation Category I Poltiton degroe 2 Altude up fo 2000 meters Relative Humidity 80% max. 2 Indoor use only ‘Amblont temperature: 32 10 104° F (0 to 40" C) Maximum votage ‘Operational design Display Bargraph ‘Over range Indication Low battory Indication Sampling rate ‘Auto power off Power suply Jaw size ‘Operating Temperature ‘Operating RE Storage Temperature Dimensions Weight ‘Accessories ‘Optional Accessories s00vims Dual slope integration ‘alg (2999 count) LCD display 40 segment display LCD atsplays "OL" Battory symbol display for low oporating voltage 410 imes per second (bargraph); 2 times per second (LCD) After 30 mins. of inactivity 9 Alkaline Battery (10 Nour approximate batery Ife) Cable 6mm, 18 32 to 14°F (0 40° C) "80% RH non-condensing 14 to 140" F (10 t0 60" C) 1023.7 x18" (260 x93 x 45mm) 16.6 oz.

The meter will contre to monitor the session keeping track ofthe minimum, maximum, tc unl the session fs Mae. 4, To oxitthe measurement session and return the meter to normal operation, press. and hold the MINIMAX key for 2-8 seconds unt te audible tone sounds. Note: Peak Hold is only avaliable for Current and Voltage functions, MINIMAX/AVG ‘unetons do nat apply fo COS and KVA parameters. Relative Mode This meter has to ability to store a reference value so that measurements can be displayed relative tothe reference value, To store a reference value and use the relate mode Press the REL key when the desired reference value is onthe display, the ‘riangulr relative symbol wil appear onthe LCD. 2 Allsubsequent measurements wll be displayed relative to the reference value ‘exam, i 100 is dsplayed atthe tme ofthe REL key-press and the next ‘measurement is 105, the LCD will read 5 (105 - 1008). 3. Toexithe Relative mode, press and hold the REL key for 2-3 second until he aulole tone sounds. Datatogging and the RS-232 PC Interface This meter has the ability to store 1600 measurements. Stored data can be transfered from ‘he meter to a PC using the optional PC Interface it (382062). Data can then be exported to and manipulated in spreadsheet, word processor, or graphical sofware programs. The PC Interface kt also permits the user to operate the meter remotely from the PC. Instructions for ‘he RS-232 PC Interface are included wih the ki. The folowing steps detall how to record ta 1. To start recording data, press the RECORD key (RECORD will appear on the LCD); the meter will bogin recording data one reading por second. Noto: Using the ‘optional Data Acquistion software, tne sample rale is adjustable, To stop recording, press the RECORD key again. 2. When the meter’s memory i ful, the RECORD display icon wil fash 3. To delete data from the mete’s memory hold the RECORD button while powering Up the meter. Do nat release the RECORD bution untl tne CLEP display appears, Note: Press the RECORD key ta stop recording before shutting dawn the mater. Powering off the meter before pressing the RECORD key o slap recardng prohibits the atalogger from marking the address ofthe lat data record. The datalogger updates the Taat record address every 100 records.Appendices ‘True RMS Measurement Notes “The Model 382060 is a True RMS responding device that can corecly measure non- sinusoidal waveforms such as tiangle, square, and distorted sine waves. ‘Conventional average-sensing meters convert the measurement signal into an average value {and then mulily the average by 1.1. the measurement signal is anything but a tue sine Wave the reading wil bs Incorrect ‘Single Phase, 3-Wire Measurements ‘To perform this test, two separate measurements are required: Wisc and Wizs fer to the diagram below).
