1.10 Measuring AC voltages and AC currents
• AC signal ranges
The instrument accepts the measure of AC voltages
and currents, with ranges from 60 mVac up to 600 Vac,
covering from shunt signals to typical power line
voltages of 48 Vac, 115 Vac, 230 Vac and even 380 Vac.
Both phase - to - neutral and phase - to - phase measures are
accepted. AC currents signals of up to 5 Aac are accepted, and it has
a range of 20 mAac.
• ‘True RMS’ measure
AC measure are TrueRMS. The instrument assigns a ‘dead band’
around 0, with a congurable value between 0 and 100. Value
is empirical, and by default is set to 20. The ‘dead band’ can be
congured at the ‘Conguraon menu’ (see secon 1.28.7).
• Scaling
The instrument allows to scale the reading to 4 digits (9999 / -1999)
with congurable decimal point to any posion. The ‘second scaling’
funcon can also be used (see secon 1.24).
• Maximum oversignal
‘Maximum oversignal’ is the maximum signal accepted by the in-
strument. Higher signal values may cause instrument damage. Low-
er values are non destrucve but may be out of accuracy specica-
ons.
• Response mes
The response me to a signal step is 300 mSeconds, independent of
the signal range selected.
• Terminal 5 ‘mulfuncon’ - External control
Terminal 5 remains congured as ‘EK’ external control funcon. See
secon 1.9 for a list of available funcons.
• Start-up, connecons and jumpers
For instrument start-up follow the steps listed at secon 1.7. Signal
connecons are indicated at secon 1.5. Locaon for internal
jumpers is indicated at secon 1.9.
