1.General
1.1 Power Quality Analysis
With this analyser you have acquired one of our high-quality, efficient and durable
multiple purpose test instruments. We thank you for your confidence.
By monitoring the voltage quality criteria, the final customer receives important
information about the quality of his power network as provided by the electricity
producer. With this Analyser you obtain the certainty that the power quality
corresponds to the EN50160 standard.
It is necessary to check the supply voltage regularly in order to ensure the perfect
functioning and working of the growing number of electronic devices. In connection
with the liberalisation of the energy market "Voltage Quality" is also becoming more
important for energy producers and final customers.
This device has been optimised for the fast identification of disturbances in the
power network.
With the help of the clear representation of all relevant parameters, it becomes
simple to detect systematic network problems.
Therefore the analyser was developed in particular for plant electricians and
electrical installers, who have an important role during the recovery of disturbances
of the power distribution system.
NOTE: FLASH TECHNOLOGY
Your Analyst 3P is equipped with Flash Technology. This enables you to perform
firmware updates. Please use the Windows Flash Update utility to do this. You will
find it on the Analyst CD-ROM.
Please find the most recent firmware - which is compatible to your instrument's
hardware - on the LEM Homepage.

1.2 Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully. It makes you familiar with the most
important safety instructions for handling your device.
Important
This power quality analyser may only be used and handled
by qualified personnel.
Protect the device against wetness and humidity, so that
the device does not suffer damage.
The plug and socket connection for the voltage input is
designed for 600V CAT III. The maximum voltage between
outer conductor and earth potential must not exceed 600V.
With multi-phase connections, the voltage between the outer
conductors of the system to be measured may not exceed
800V.
Warning
Current probes must comply to IEC 61010-2-032 category A
and must be designed for 600V CAT III. If flexible current
probes are used, the conductor to be enclosed by the probe
and the adjacent conductor must be connected strain-free,
or suitable protective gloves must be worn.
Warning
Open the device only to replace the accumulator package
(see chapter 4.1). Opening the device can lead to electrical
shocks. Therefore the device has to be separated from all
live sections before opening. Also disconnect all test leads
before using the RS232 interface. Maintenance work can
only be done by qualified service personnel.

EO 0620GDF Rev. E
Warning
When connecting current circuits, the corresponding
measuring lines must first be connected to the base unit and
then to the current sensor to prevent the risk of electric
shock in case of false connection.
Please use only the provided original accessories.
Especially the original power adapter must be used since it
is a safety-relevant component! Please use only the supplied
original adapter.
