The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be taken
in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.
For your safety, use only the compatible leads and accessories delivered with the instrument. When sensors or accessories
having a lower voltage rating and/or category are connected to the instrument, the lower voltage and/or category applies to
the system so constituted.
Before each use, check that the leads, enclosures, and accessories are in perfect condition. Any lead, sensor or accessory on
which the insulation is damaged (even partially) must be repaired or scrapped.
Do not use the instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those mentioned.
Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly closed.
Use only the AC power adapter supplied by the manufacturer.

Direct measurements of current from 50 mA up to 10 000 A with MA194 external current sensors
Power measurements: active (W), reactive (var) and apparent (VA)
Energy measurements: active (source and load (Wh)), reactive 4 quadrants (varh) and apparent (VAh)
Power Factor (PF), cos ϕ, and tan Φ
Crest Factor
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for voltages and currents
Harmonics from the fundamental signal up to the 50th order for 50/60 Hz voltages and currents
Frequency measurements
RMS and DC measurements @ 128 samples/cycle – all phases simultaneously
Bright white triple LCD display with white backlighting for the PEL 103 and PEL 104 (3 phases shown simultaneously)
Storage of measured and calculated values on an SD-Card or SDHC-Card

2.13. MEMORY CARD
The PEL accepts SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, FAT32 formatted, up to a capacity of 32 GB.
The PEL is delivered with a formatted SD card. If you want to install a new SD card:
Open the elastomer cap marked .
Press on the SD card in the device, then withdraw it.
Warning: do not withdraw the SD card if there is a recording session in progress
Check that the new SD card is not locked.
It is best to format the SD card using the PEL Transfer software; it can also be formatted by a PC.
Insert the new card and push it home.
Put the protective elastomer cap back in place.

3.1. TURNING THE INSTRUMENT ON/OFF
3.1.1. TURNING ON
Connect the PEL to a power outlet with the AC power cord and the PEL will turn ON automatically. If not, press the ON/OFF
key for more than 2 seconds.
The green LED under the ON/OFF key turns ON when the PEL is connected to a live supply source.
The battery automatically begins recharging when the PEL is connected to a live power outlet. Battery life is approximately
1/2 hour when the battery is fully charged, enough to cover brief power outages.
3.1.2. TURNING THE PEL OFF
You cannot turn the PEL OFF if it is connected to a power source or if a recording is in progress (or pending). This is a precaution
to ensure that the PEL is not accidently turned OFF when recording and to ensure that the PEL turns on when the power supply
is turned back on after an outage.
To turn the PEL OFF:
Unplug the cord from the power outlet.
Press the ON/OFF key for more than 2 seconds, until all LEDs turn on. Then release the ON/OFF key.

The auto IP address mode is also available when the DHCP is selected and the DHPC server has not been detected within 60
seconds. The PEL will use 169.254.0.100 as default address. This auto IP address mode is compatible with APIPA.
A crossed cable may be necessary.
You can change the network parameters while connected via an Ethernet LAN link, but once the network parameters have
been changed, you will lose connection. It is better to use a USB connection for this.
