(Total Harmonic Distortion measurement of
the Line Voltage or Current at 50/60 Hz). [Model: 509THD
O n l y ]
When measuring AC vo
l
tage or amperes in the 50Hz (or
60Hz) power line, press and hold down the DC/AC button for
2 seconds to select the THD @ 50/60Hz mode. This mode
enables the user measure THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
in percentage (%) from the 50Hz (or 60Hz) power line. (See
4.5 THD @ 50/60Hz.)
When this Meter enter into the THD @ 50/60Hz mode, the
digital reading (that is, the TRUE-RMS value of voltage and
amperes be
i
ng measured) disappears and the symbol, %,
and decimal points are displayed on the LCD.
After about 2 seconds from this moment, the THD
v
alue in
percentage (%) will be displayed. To exit the THD @ 50/60Hz
mode, press and hold down the DC/AC button for 2 second
s
again. The symbol, “%”, disappears. This feature is typically
found in much more expensive power analyzing meters.

. (% Readings in the Percentage mode; A
Decrement button when the Meter is in the Editing

difference in percentage between the stored reference value
and the measured value.
Press the % button. The “%” symbol will come on the LCD and
the bar graph pointer will be at the zero on the scale. To reca

the stored reference value, press the HI/LO (RANGE) button.
Press the EDIT button. Using the arrow buttons, enter the value
you want the readings displayed as a per
c
entage of. Once the
value is entered, press the EDIT button to exit the mode.
All measurements will be displayed as the difference in
percentage between the stored reference value and the
measured value. Negative readings are lower than the
stored value. Positive readings are higher than the stored
value. Pushing the % button again exits the mode.
