1.1 Main Features
Full compliance with power quality standard IEC 61000-4-30 Class S.
Simple and powerful recorder with microSD memory card (sizes up to 32 GB are
supported).
3 voltage channels with wide measurement range: up to 1000 Vrms, CAT III /
1000 V, with support for medium and high voltage systems.
Simultaneous voltage and current (7 channels) sampling, 16 bit AD conversion
for accurate power measurements and minimal phase shift error.

4.3’’ TFT colour display.
Powerful troubleshooting tools: transient recorder with envelope and level
triggering.
PC Software PowerView v3.0 is an integral part of a measuring system which
provides easiest way to download, view and analyse measured data or print
reports.
oPowerView v3.0 analyser exposes a simple but powerful interface for
downloading instrument data and getting quick, intuitive and descriptive
analysis. Interface has been organized to allow quick selection of data
using a Windows Explorer-like tree view.
oUser can easily download recorded data, and organize it into multiple sites
with many sub-sites or locations.
oGenerate charts, tables and graphs for your power quality data analysing,
and create professional printed reports.
oExport or copy / paste data to other applications (e.g. spreadsheet) for
further analysis.
oMultiple data records can be displayed and analysed simultaneously.
oMerge different logging data into one measurement, synchronize data
recorded with different instruments with time offsets, split logging data into
multiple measurements, or extract data of interest.
1.2 Safety considerations
To ensure operator safety while using the Energy Master instruments and to minimize
the risk of damage to the instrument, please note the following general warnings:
The instrument has been designed to ensure maximum operator safety. Usage in
a way other than specified in this manual may increase the risk of harm to the
operator!
Do not use the instrument and/or accessories if any visible damage is noticed!
The instrument contains no user serviceable parts. Only an authorized dealer
can carry out service or adjustment!
All normal safety precautions have to be taken in order to avoid risk of electric
shock when working on electrical installations!
Only use approved accessories which are available from your distributor!
Instrument contains rechargeable NiMH batteries. The batteries should only be
replaced with the same type as defined on the battery placement label or in this
manual. Do not use standard batteries while power supply adapter/charger is
connected, otherwise they may explode!
Hazardous voltages exist inside the instrument. Disconnect all test leads,
remove the power supply cable and switch off the instrument before removing
battery compartment cover.
Maximum nominal voltage between any phase and neutral input is 1000 VRMS.
Maximum nominal voltage between phases is 1730 VRMS.

Always short unused voltage inputs (L1, L2, L3) with neutral (N) input to prevent
measurement errors and false event triggering due to noise coupling.
Do not remove microSD memory card while instrument is recording or reading
data. Record damage and card failure can occur.
