Setting up the Analyzer
Introduction
The SETUP key accesses menus to view and change Analyzer settings. At delivery the
Analyzer is adjusted to settings that match your local situation and the supplied
accessories. The table below gives an overview:
Setting Preset Value
Nominal Voltage 120 V or 230 V
Nominal Frequency 60 Hz or 50 Hz
Displacement Power Factor DPF or Cos φ
Phase Identification A,B,C or L1,L2,L3
Phase Colors A/L1-B/L2-C/L3-N-Ground Black-Red-Blue-Gray-Green or
Black-Red-Gray-Blue-Green/Yellow or
Red-Yellow-Blue-Black-Green/Yellow or
Black-Black-Black-Blue-Green/Yellow
Date Format Month/Day/Year or Day/Month/Year
If desired the settings in the table can be changed by the user.
Also other settings such as offset and span of trend and waveform displays are set to
Factory Default values. This will give good readings in almost all situations and allows
you to start measurements almost immediately.
At power-on a welcome screen is displayed that shows settings currently in use. Check if
Date and Time of the system clock are correct. Also the wiring Configuration must match
the configuration of the power system to be checked. The wiring Configuration is
available under Function key F1.
If necessary adjust Date, Time, and Config. How to do this is explained in section
‘General Settings’. The welcome screen is shown in the Figure below.
