4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 Power ON/OFF
1)Press the POWER button ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) more than 1.5
sec to Turn ON the meter.
2)Press the POWER button ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) more than 1.5
sec to Turn OFF themeter.
4-2 ACV measurement procedure
1)Press the POWER button ( 3-2, Fig.1 ) more than 1.5
sec to Turn ON the meter.
2)Push the FUNCTION button ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once then
change function for measuring ACV.
3)Connect Red test lead to the " V " input terminal and
Black test lead to " COM " input terminal .
4)Then use the test lead measurement unknown AC voltage.
5)Read the up display . The value indicated corresponds
to the position selected. If the Display shows " ---- "
it indicates an Out-of-range measurement.
4-3 ACA measurement procedure
1)Press the POWER button ( 3-2, Fig.1 ) more than 1.5
sec to Turn ON the meter.
2)Push the FUNCTION button ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once then
change function for measuring ACA
3)Connect red test lead to the " 2 A " input terminal and
black test lead to "COM" input terminal .
4)Then use the test lead measurement unknown AC current.
5)Read the down display . The value indicated
corresponds to the position selected. If the display
shows "---- " it indicates an Out-of-range measurement.

4)Plug in the LOAD ( equipment ) to V terminal and COM
terminal.
5)Plug in the power source to WATT terminal and 2 A
terminal.
6)Push the FUNCTION ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) button once then
change function for measuring ACV / ACA
7)Turn on the POWER SOURCE,
then you can read out the WORK VOLTAGE from the
top of the LCD display value.
8)Turn on the equipment power switch. Let it work,
then you can read out the POWER CONSUMPTION
from the bottom of the LCD display value
9)At the same time. Push the FUNCTION button ( 3-3, Fig.
1 ) once then change function for measuring WATT / PF
10) Now you can take the Active Power value and Power
Factor value from the LCD display .
4-5 Data Hold
During the measurement, press the " Hold Button " ( 3-4,
Fig. 1 ) once will hold the measured value & the LCD will
display a " HOLD " symbol.
Press the " Hold Button " once again will release the data
hold function.
4-6 Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
1)The data record function records the maximum and
minimum readings. Press the " REC Button " ( 3-5, Fig.
1 ) once to start the Data Record function and there
will be a " REC. " symbol on the display.

2)With the " REC. " symbol on the display :
a)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) once, the "
REC. MAX. " symbol along with the maximum value
will appear on the display.
If intend to delete the maximum value, just press
the " Hold Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, then the
display will show the " REC. " symbol only & execute
the memory function continuously.

" REC. MIN. " symbol along with the minimum value
will appear on the display.
If intend to delete the minimum value, just press
the " Hold Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, then
the display will show the " REC. " symbol only &
execute the memory function continuously.
c)To exit the memory record function, just press the
" REC " button for 2 seconds at least. The display will
revert to the current reading.
4-7 Backlight ON/OFF
1)When use the instrument in a dark place or under the SUN .
You can turn ON the Backlight for easy readout.
2)If the instrument is working. Press the POWER button
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) once, can turn ON the Backlight.
3)Press the button again will turn OFF the Backlight .
4-8 Auto power management

in order to prolong battery life. The meter will switch
off automatically if none of the buttons are pressed
within 10 min.
2)To de-activate this feature, Select the memory record
function during measurement, by pressing the
" Record button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ).

5. MAINTENANCE
1)This WATT METER is intended for measuring the TURE
RMS POWER CONSUMPTION. At the same , It can let
you know .how many effect from your equipment.
2)When measuring POWER CONSUMPTION. Equipment
working voltage must be recheck again, before turn on
the equipment power switch.
3)Instruments used in dusty environments should be
stripped and cleaned periodically.
4)Do not leave the instrument exposed to direct heat from
the sun for long periods.
5)Before removing the battery compartment cover, ensure
that the instrument is disconnect from any circuit and
the power switch is on the OFF position.
6. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5
mm terminal ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be
utilized for user's specific application.
A RS232 lead with the following connection will be
required to link the instrument with the PC serial port.

7. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)When the Top of left corner on LCD display show " " ,
it is necessary to replace the battery , However in -spec.
measurement may still be made for several hours after
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR appears before the
instrument become inaccurate.
2)Open the screw of " Battery Cover " by screwdriver,
then move the battery.
3)Replace with 9V battery and reinstate the cover.
