MPI-540 ● MPI-540-PV – BRIEF USER MANUAL
active positive and negative energies,
passive energies consumed and returned,
apparent energies,
power factors (PF)
unbalance factors of voltages and currents
Some of the parameters are aggregated (averaged) according to the time selected by the user (avail-
able settings: 1 s, 3 s, 10 s, 30 s, 1 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min) and may be stored on a memory
card.
The meter is compatible with PC software Sonel Analysis, which also supports other analyzers pro-
duced by Sonel. This software allows analysis of the recorded data. The data may be read using the
USB cable or directly from a microSD card after inserting it to an external memory card reader con-
nected to PC.
