Accuracy
We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale), rdg. (reading) and
dgt. (digit) values, with the following meanings:
Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)
This device complies with CAT III (600 V)/ IV (300 V) safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement roducts, IEC 61010 establishes safety
standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and
called measurement categories.
Using a measurement device in an environment designated with a higher-numbered
category than that for which the device is rated could result in a severe accident, and
must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to CAT IV mea-
surement applications could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully
avoided.
f.s. (maximum display value or scale length)
The maximum displayable value or scale length. This is usually the
name of the currently selected range.
rdg. (reading or displayed value)
The value currently being measured and indicated on the measuring
instrument.
dgt. (resolution)
The smallest displayable unit on a digital measuring instrument, i.e.,
the input value that causes the digital display to show a "1" as the
least-significant digit.
CAT II Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electrical
outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations)
connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the dis-
tribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the
power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution
panel).

Operating Precautions
7
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of
the various functions.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument for the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage,
contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Instrument Installation
Storage temperature and humidity range
-20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), 80%RH or less (non-condensating)
If the instrument will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery pack
and store at a temperature from -20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F).
Operating temperature and humidity range
-10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F), 80%RH or less (non-condensating)
When operating on battery power: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
When charging the battery: 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F)
When sending or receiving data over a LAN: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
Operating Precautions
Before using the instrument, verify that damage to any of the
voltage cords’ insulation has not revealed the white (insula-
tor) part of the cord or its metallic conductor. Cord damage
may result in electric shock. Replace with part number L9438-
53.
Avoid the following locations that could cause an accident or damage to the instrument.
Exposed to direct sunlight
Exposed to high tempera-
ture
In the presence of corro-
sive or explosive gases
Exposed to water, oil,
other chemicals, or sol-
ventsExposed to high
humidity or condensation
Exposed to strong elec-
tromagnetic fields
Near electromagnetic
radiators
Exposed to high levels of
particulate dust
Near induction heating
systems
(e.g., high-frequency
inductionheatingsystems
and IH cooking utensils)
Subject to vibration

Operating Precautions
8
Handling the Instrument
Handling the Clamp Sensor
Handling the Cables
With regard to the electricity supply, there are risks of electric
shock, heat generation, fire, and arc discharge due to short
circuits. If persons unfamiliar with electricity measuring
instruments are to use the product, another person familiar
with such instruments must supervise operations.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical
shock when transporting and handling. Be especially careful to
avoid physical shock from dropping.
• This instrument may cause interference if used in residential
areas. Such use must be avoided unless the user takes special
measures to reduce electromagnetic emissions to prevent inter-
ference to the reception of radio and television broadcasts.
To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening haz-
ards, never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates at more
than maximum rated voltage to earth, or over bare conduc-
tors.
• Be careful to avoid dropping the clamps or otherwise subjecting
them to mechanical shock, which could damage the mating sur-
faces of the core and adversely affect measurement.
• Keep the clamp jaws and core slits free from foreign objects,
which could interfere with clamping action.
• Keep the clamp closed when not in use, to avoid accumulating
dust or dirt on the mating core surfaces, which could interfere
with clamp performance.
To prevent cable damage, do not step on cables or pinch them
between other objects. Do not bend or pull on cables at their base.

Chapter 1 Overview
The PW3360 Clamp on Power Logger is a clamp-type power meter capable of mea-
suring lines with from single-phase to three-phase four-wire.
The instrument can perform basic measurements including voltage, current, power,
power factor, and energy.
The Quick Set makes the instrument simple enough to be used even by beginners
by enabling them to configure basic settings, wirings, recording settings, and the
start of recording through a series of steps.
The PW3360 Clamp on Power Logger supports extended data acquisition and auto-
mated measurement, thanks to the use of the SD memory card and USB/LAN inter-
face. This makes the PW3360 Clamp on Power Logger suitable for power
measurement at commercial frequencies involved in the power maintenance and
management of a building or factory.

1.2 Features
Quick Set function
The Quick Set function simplifies instrument operation by walking users
through a series of steps to configure basic settings, wirings, wiring check
(wiring confirmation), recording settings, and the start of recording in order to
prevent mistakes.
See: Chapter 7, "Quick Set" (p. 93), Measurement Guide (published separately in color)
Wiring Check (wiring confirmation)
When wirings have been set up improperly, a help function displays hints to
help users establish proper wirings.
See: 3.8, "Verifying Correct Wiring (Wiring Check)" (p. 54)
Ability to make measurements even when power is not available
from a wall outlet
The PW9003 Voltage Line Power Adapter (option) can be used to supply
power from measurement lines.
See: "Supplying Power from Measurement Lines (Using the PW9003 Voltage Line Power
Adapter)" (p. 34)
Ability to operate for about 8 hours on battery power
Even when AC power is unavailable, the optional battery pack can be used to
enable about eight hours of measurement.
See: "Installing (replacing) the Battery Pack" (p. 24)
Corresponding to the various power line
The instrument can perform single-phase/2-wire (up to three circuits), single-
phase/3-wire, 3-phase/3-wire (2-power measurement/3-power measurement),
and 3-phase/4-wire measurement. When performing single-phase/2-wire
(function upgrade), single-phase/3-wire, or 3-phase/3-wire 2-power measure-
ment, the instrument can perform power and leakage current measurement
simultaneously.
See: 4.2, "Changing Measurement Settings" (p. 61)
Broad operating temperature range
The instrument can be used at temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C.
However, the operating temperature range is limited to 0°C to 40°C when
operating on battery power and from 0°C to 50°C when using the LAN.
TFT color LCD
The instrument uses an LCD that is easy to see in both dim and bright condi-
tions.
