DANGER is reserved for conditions and actions that are likely to cause
serious or fatal injury.
WARNING is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause serious or
fatal injury.
CAUTION is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause injury or
instrument damage.
DANGER
ƔNever make measurement on a circuit in which the electrical potential exceeds
AC600V.
ƔDo not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gasses.
Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an
explosion.
ƔNever attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand are wet.
ƔDo not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring range.
ƔNever open the Battery cover and CF card connector cover during a
measurement.
ƔVerify proper operation on a known source before use or taking action as a
result of the indication of the instrument.

Safetywarnings MODEL6300
㩷
WARNING
ƔNever attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions, such as
a broken cover or exposed metal parts are present on the Instrument,
Voltage test leads, Power cord and Clamp sensor.
ƔEnsure that the Current input terminal cover, USB connector cover and
CF card connector cover are closed when not in use during a measurement.
Ensure that the CF card connector cover screw is tightened.
ƔDo not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument.
Return the instrument to your local KYORITSU distributor for repair or
re-calibration in case of suspected faulty operation.
ƔEnsure that the Power cord, Voltage test leads and Clamp sensor are firmly
inserted into the terminal.
ƔDo not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.
ƔEnsure that the Power cord, Voltage test leads and Clamp sensor are removed
from the instrument, and that the instrument is switched off when opening the
Battery cover for battery replacement.㩷
CAUTION
ƔAlways set the Function switch to the appropriate position before making
measurement.
ƔSet the Function switch to the “OFF” position after use and remove the Power
cord, Voltage test leads and Clamp sensors. Remove the batteries if the
instrument is to be stored and will not be in use for a long period.
ƔDo not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity
or dew.
ƔUse a damp cloth with neutral detergent for cleaning the instrument.
Do not use abrasives or solvents.
ƔDo not store the instrument if it is wet.

Section1Instrumentoverview MODEL6300
1. Instrument overview
This section is an overview of instrument features and functions. This
instrument is a power clamp meter, and can be used for various wiring
systems. For example, in a single-phase 2-wire circuit, this instrument can
measure up to 3 different loads.
The instrument can measure fundamental electric power factors, namely,
instantaneous values and integration values. Demand measurement, which is
vital for energy surveys, is also available. Each data point can be saved to a
CF (compact flash) card or transferred to a PC via a USB connection.
1-1 Features
ƔSafety design
Designed to international safety standard IEC61010.
ƔWiring
This instrument supports:
single-phase 2-wire (1ch), single-phase 2-wire (2ch), single-phase
2-wire (3ch), single-phase 3-wire, three-phase 3-wire, three-phase 4-wire.
ƔMeasurement and calculation
The MODEL6300 measures and calculates:
voltage(RMS), current(RMS), active/ reactive/ apparent power, power factor,
frequency, current flowing on the neutral line(only for three-phase 4-wire)
active/ reactive/ apparent electrical energy.
ƔDemand measurement
Electricity consumption can be easily monitored so as not to exceed target
maximum demand values.
ƔSaving the measured data
Instantaneous values can be saved whenever the key is pressed.
The integration value and demand value can be saved in wide cycle from
1 sec. to 1 hour.
In addition, max and average instantaneous values can be measured at
Integration/ demand measurement cycles.

Section 1
ƔPower supply
This instrument operates either with AC power supply or batteries.
In the event of service interruption while the instrument is operating with
AC power supply, power to the instrument is automatically restored by the
battery set in the instrument.
Batteries can also be used for backing up data.
ƔLarge display
Any three measurement parameters can be displayed simultaneously.
(e.g. Current, Active power, Power factor)
ƔCustomizing the display
The three displayed parameters can be changed by customizing the display
screen.
ƔBacklight
A backlight function permits viewing the test results in dimly lit areas.
ƔClamp sensor type
The instrument takes a wide range of user-friendly clamps.
ƔCompact design
Light weight and portable.
ƔUser friendly set up
The setting up of the instrument is relatively easy.
