HIOKI
Notes on Use
In order to ensure safe operation and to obtain maximum performance
from the unit, observe the cautions listed below.
• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on
the disc or scratch the printing.
• Never touch the recorded side of the disc. Do not place the disc
directly on anything hard.
• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possi-
bility of the label printing disappearing.
• To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not
use a ball-point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of
scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive
labels.
• Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in condi-
tions of high temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warp-
ing, with consequent loss of data.
• To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry
cloth, or use a CD cleaner. Always wipe radially from the inside to
the outside, and do not wipe with circular movements. Never use
abrasives or solvent cleaners.
• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a computer sys-
tem that arises from the use of this CD, or for any problem related to
the purchase of a Hioki product.

1.3 Calculation Formulas 7
HIOKI
(1) Load Factor [%]
(Displayed by using summing results from a daily, weekly, or monthly report screen)
• Average active power is the average of all active power measurements
during the summing period. The maximum demand value is the largest
among all demand values during the period. The summing period is one
day for a daily report, seven days for a weekly report, and one month for a
monthly report. The load factor above represents the degree of fluctuations
of electricity demand during summing period.
(2) Demand Factor [%]
(Displayed by using summing results from a daily, weekly, or monthly report screen)
• The maximum demand value is the largest among all demand values dur-
ing the summing period. The summing period is one day for a daily report,
seven days for a weekly report, and one month for a monthly report.
• The facility capacity is set in the Load data file dialog. Click File on the
menu bar, and then select Load file to open the dialog. This demand fac-
tor shows how much power is used at maximum in terms of the percentage
of facility capacity.
(3) Voltage Unbalance Factor Uunb [%]
(Displayed only for the data measured in the 3P3W2M or 3P3W3M mode by the
3169-20/21)
U1, U2, U3: Line to line voltage (instantaneous or average values)
• This voltage unbalance factor represents the degree of voltage unbalance
between three phase lines.

14 2.4 Loading/Saving Data
HIOKI
• A waveform data file is loaded together with the harmonic-measurement
data file in the case of the 3166, or with the measurement data file in the
case of the 3169-20/21. If the name of the waveform data file differs from
that of the measurement data file, the waveform data file cannot be
loaded when the measurement data file is loaded. When the files are
named automatically in the case of the 3169-20/21, the waveform data
file cannot be loaded if the filenames differ in their numeric portion: XX of
the measurement data file "69MEASXX.CSV" and XX of the waveform
data file "69WAVEXX.WUI".
• When multiple data files are loaded, the measurement periods of all files
must not exceed one year.
• When a data file is large in size, an extended period may be required to
load the file.
If the data file consists of numerous discrete harmonic measurements,
loading even small files make take a long time.
The loading time varies depending on the specification of the computer.
The following examples show rough estimates; use them as a guide.
