PQ Window
Voltage/Current Measurement Feed-Through
Device for Electrical Enclosures
Instructions
PQ Window (the Product) is an accessory that mounts to the
flat surface of a Type 12 electrical enclosure (derate to Type 1
during measurements). When the Product is installed and signal
feeds connected, you can safely perform voltage and current
measurements from outside the enclosure.
Standard 4 mm safety sockets on the front provides access
to the three phases (A/L1, B/L2, C/L3), Neutral N, and Earth/
Ground for voltage measurements. The voltage outputs
support instruments that are powered from the measurement
line with a maximum power of 100 VA.
The Product supports current measurement with Fluke
intelligent current sensors (iFlex1500-12, iFlex 3000-24,
i40S-EL and i400S-EL). Go to www.fluke.com for a full list of
compatible accessories.
The 354x FC, 173x Power, and 174x Power Quality Loggers
automatically read the sensor information, such as, the type,
serial number, scale factor, and phase angle compensation.
Use the optional adapter kit to connect instruments and
current sensors that have BNC connectors.

Site Preparation
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, de-energize and lock-out the
electrical enclosure (refer to local standards)
before you install the Product.
These instructions use the Greenlee 742BB punch/die. For
other punch/die models, see the instructions provided with
the tool. See Figure 3 to prepare the installation site:
1. Mark a pilot hole with the center punch.
2. Drill a 6 mm (0.2 in) pilot hole with the twist drill and use
a step drill bit to enlarge the 6 mm (0.2 in) pilot hole to
20 mm (0.8 in).
Or, drill a 10 mm (0.4 in) pilot hole and then enlarge the
hole to 22.5 mm (0.875 in) with a Punch/Die.
3. Use the Punch/Die with the Electro-hydraulic hole punch
to make the 114.3 mm (4 ½ in) hole.
4. Deburr the holes and remove any shavings.
5. Degrease the front panel.
Figure 3. Site Preparation
Installation
W Caution
Make sure that the gaskets and sealing areas
are clean.
See Figure 4 to install:
1. Insert the PQ Window frame into the punched hole.
Make sure the cover opens downwards.
2. Align and firmly hold the frame in place.

3. Apply a slight amount of torque to each of the four jam-
nut screws to break them loose from the install position.
Incrementally tighten each jam-nut screw in a cross-
pattern to a torque of 5.7 N⋅m (50 lbf⋅in). This torque
makes sure that the frame gasket is compressed for an
optimum seal.
4. Insert the PQ Window Feed-Through Box from the rear
to the front plate.Fasten the front plate with the
6 panhead screws.
5. If the space for the standard configuration is too small,
remove the top plate and rotate in 90 ° increments to
change the orientation.
6. Apply the top plate decal from the decal set that applies
to the orientation of the feed-through box.
7. Close the window door firmly and twist the quarter-turn
fastener from the vertical position to the horizontal
position to latch the door.

Voltage Connections
To make voltage connections:
1. On the Feed-Through Box, loosen the screws and
remove the lid.
2. In the electrical enclosure, make the voltage
measurement connections with the rated wires for phase
A/L1, B/L2, C/L3, Neutral N, and Protective Earth PE.
Use the color codes that match the local requirements.
Note
Make sure to install a circuit breaker that is rated
for the wire gauge.
3. Strip 10 mm of the insulation. Use a crimp ferrule for
stranded wires.
4. Push the wire into the circular opening of the terminal.
Note
To remove the wire, push a 3.5 mm slotted
screwdriver into the rectangular opening of the
terminal and pull out the wire.
5. Fasten the wires with cable ties.
6. Replace the lid and tighten the screws.
Current Connections
To make current connections.
1. Apply the iFlex or clamp around the phase wire to
measure. See Figure 5. Make sure that the arrow on the
current sensor matches the current flow direction.
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, read and follow the safety
instructions for the iFlex or current clamp
accessory.

Figure 5. Current Connections
2. Secure the excess cable. Do not cut or alter the cable
length.
3. Connect the plugs into the sockets on the PQ Window.
Verify connections to the correct phase. Use the
BNC-to-4 pin male cables for current sensors with BNC
output.
4. On the current test leads, apply cable marker 1 from the
set (see Figure 1, item ) on both ends of the cable for
phase A/L1. Continue with marker 2 for phase B/L2, and
marker 3 for phase C/L3 and N and Earth/Ground.
5. Refer to local regulations to perform all required tests
that validate safe operation.
6. Close the electrical enclosure.
Note
Do not pinch or damage the wires and cables
connected to the PQ Window when you close the
door.
7. Do a functional test for measurements. See
Measurements.

Measurements
To make measurements:
1. Twist the quarter-turn fastener from the horizontal
position to the vertical position to unlatch the door.
2. Use the voltage test lead included with the measurement
instrument to connect the voltage output sockets of the
PQ Window with the instrument.
Note
The PQ Window allows power from the voltage
output sockets to the measurement instrument up
to 100 VA.
W Caution
Make sure the Measurement Category rating
of the measurement instrument and
accessories matches or exceeds the rating
of the installation.
3. Use the current test lead to connect the current
measurement signal output of the PQ Window with the
measurement instrument.
Note
Use the BNC-to-4 pin male 2 m or 0.1 m cable for
Loggers with BNC input. Flexis or clamps
supported by the Logger are required. Using
Flexis or clamps for 17xx on Loggers with BNC
input results in incorrect readings.
4. Do the measurement. See the users manual for the
measurement instrument for more information.
Note
While the door is opened the ingress protection is
IP50/NEMA TYPE 1.

Maintenance
Product maintenance consists of fuse replacement.
WX Warning
To prevent shock, injury, or damage to the
Product:
• De-energize the circuit before opening the
case.
• Make sure the circuit is secure against
reenergizing of the installation.
• Use only specified replacement fuses.
Fuse Replacement
To replace a fuse:
1. De-energize the installation.
2. Loosen the four case bottom screws. See Figure 6.
3. Remove the case bottom.
4. Replace any blown fuses.
5. Reposition the case bottom and tighten the screws.
