• Use the key to change the parameters
displayed.
Screen1 = kW, kVA, kVAR, PF, kWHr
Screen2 = kW, V RMS, A RMS, PF, AHr
• Use the HOLD key to freeze the display.
• Use the REC key to enter RECORD mode. Use the
key to show the MAX, MIN, AVE displays of
the screen readings. Press the REC key again to exit
this mode.
