Precautions
To ensure the safety of the persons and instruments, please notice the following
general safety precautions:
1. Operation precautions
(1) The rated power supply of the instrument is 100VAC-240V AC, 50Hz /60Hz.
(2) Do not dismantle the instrument without permission as its precision device
inside and partial high voltage. Please contact with sale and technical service
center if internal inspection or debug is needed.
(3) Please do not touch the wiring terminal or testing line to prevent the operator
from electric shock during testing. Inserting or pulling out communication port
with electric is forbidden.

P166681CJ7371124
(4) It is dangerous to touch the input interface when electrical circuit works for
the electric communicating terminals inside.
(5) No pressure on the instrument and cables. Keep the instrument far away from
heat source.
(6) Please make sure that the ventilation on both upper and down panel are
unblocked. Otherwise, the internal temperature may rise to damage the
instrument.
(7) It is extremely dangerous for the instrument comes in connect with liquid like
water or oil, or other metal scraps, and it is forbidden to place any items on the
instrument.
(8) Please cut off the power supply immediately if bad smell or smoke is
perceived and contact with sale and technical service center of EVERFINE.
(9) Please keep distance and pull out the power cord plug from the power outlet if
the instrument is not going to be used for some time.
(10) Ensure all cables are disconnected especially the power cord before delivery.
Carry the instrument by the handles on both sides of the instrument gently

without collisions.
2. Storage precautions
(1) The instrument shall be deposited in the condition with temperature between
0℃ and 45℃, and relative humidity below 80% with no condensation. The
drying environment at 20℃ is recommended.
(2) Please keep the product packaging materials including carton, cushion layer
and plastic bags to protect the instrument from temperature change, shock and
vibration during transportation.
(3) Please do not deposit the instrument in the environment with dust, smoke or
chemical gas.
(4) Direct sunlight is forbidden.
3. Calibration precautions
(1) In order to ensure measurement accuracy, regular calibration is recommended.

P166681CJ7371124
(2) Calibration period depends on the practical use of the instrument.
Recommended calibration period is at least once a year.
(3) Please connect EVERFINE Test and Calibration center for more information
about calibration. The email is lab@everfine.net.

Press the keys of SHIFT+V RANGE (MODE) to select measurement mode.
Switching sequence is shown in Figure 4.1.
Figure 4.1 Switch of Measurement Mode
Note---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● Switch of measurement mode will affect the measured value such as voltage,
current and apparent power, except the measured value of active power.
● The measurement mode will switch to RMS mode automatically when the
function of harmonic measurement is activated.
● Users are not allowed to switch the measurement mode while the indicator light
“HOLD” is on.

● Before integration is activated, users can select any one measurement mode, once
the integration is activated, there is no permission to switch the measurement
mode.
4.2 Connection mode
There are different connection modes in available to measure voltage and current in
PF330. The relationships between connection mode and calculation results of
measurement are shown in table 2.5.

Note---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● PF310/PF310A: Single phase 2 wires system only（1P2W）。
● PF330: please select a connection mode which is consistent with the
measurement circuit, otherwise it may lead to erroneous measurement results.
Unit 1, 2 and 3 is optional when the measuring signal is single phase 2 wires.
● The heavy lines above represent the current circuit and the thin lines indicate
voltage circuit.
● Generally, it is more simply and conveniently to connect current circuit before
connecting the voltage circuit.

Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● PF330: In a fixed range, the range of Element1, Element2 and Element3 are
consistent. In an automatic range, the range of Element1, Element2 and Element3
are switched independently according to the actual signal and the maximum range
of voltage or current is displayed in panel.

● In a fixed range, the measurement range will be not stable if the pulse signal input
is irregular. Please select the appropriate fixed range profile.
● In an automatic range, voltage and current can be adjusted independently
according to the condition of range lifting. Therefore, the same power values will
have different power ranges.
● After the range switch is activated, voltage (or current) will exit the function of
range switch if manual or automatic range is set. The original range opening
range switch will switch to automatic range if the function of range switch is
closed.
● If the voltage terminal is hanged, there might be a voltage result displayed ( ＜
0.3V) caused by the interference. The measured value will return to 0V if the
voltage terminals are short connected.

Note--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● .The counting process has removed the Direct Current component and the value
over maximum harmonic in total harmonic voltage, current and power calculation.
Thus the calculated values may be different from the values in normal
measurement.
● In order to facilitate users to do a comparison analysis, harmonic analysis and
normal measurement parameters are measured at the same time in this
instrument.

5.3.3 Using method
(1) Basic Parameter Setting
Before activating the integral function, the parameters should be set as follows:
display refresh rate, wave crest ratio, filter.
(2) Select synchronous source of harmonic measurement: voltage or current.
.(PLL.SRC)： synchronous source;
 (VOLT)： voltage synchronization;
 (CURR)： current synchronization.
(3) Select the maximum harmonic order: 1 to 50

ORDER： the maximum harmonic order，1~50.
(4) Select the calculation method of total harmonic distortion: IEC, CSA
(THD)： harmonic calculation method;
(IEC)： use IEC method;

P166681CJ7371124
(CSA)： use CSA method.
(5) Activate harmonic measurement:
PF310/PF310A：select OFF or ON to open or close harmonic measurement.
PF330：OFF, Element1, Elemen2, Element3 or ALL.
(ELEM)： selection of unit;
 (OFF)： close the harmonic function;
 (EL1)： unit 1;
 (EL2)： unit 2;

 (EL3)： unit 3;
 (ALL)： all units.
(6) Use the FUNCTION key in each window to display the results of analysis.
(7) Use HOLD or SINGLE function as needed.
(8) Close the function of harmonic measurement.
Note---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● In normal measurement state, RMS mode will be set automatically once enter
into the state of harmonic analysis whichever the measurement mode of voltage
or current is.
● Harmonic analysis of PF330 is only for Element1, Element2 and Element3.
● The selection of the maximum number of harmonic analysis will affect the
calculation results of total harmonic voltage, total harmonic current, total
harmonic power and the total harmonic distortion of voltage or current.

P166681CJ7371124
● The range of fundamental frequency is 20Hz to 2.56kHz in harmonic analysis. If
the frequency detected is not in this range or the signal is too small to detect, the
indicator light of UPDATE will be on and it will show  in window
D (‘' for small signal) and show ‘’ for each
measurement parameters. The harmonic analysis will start again if the state of
harmonic analysis is exited or the frequency detected is in the requreid range.
● The measured value will not be accurate if the fundamental frequency of PLL
synchronous source can not be measured accurately because of signal
interference or noise. Taking voltage as PLL synchronous source is suggested in
general.
● The synchronization of PLL source may be failed when the signal of PLL
synchronous source is less than 50% of range (CF=3) or 100% of range (CF=6).
● 500Hz frequency filter is suggested when the fundamental frequency is less than
200Hz and include high frequency components.
● The relationship of fundamental frequency, sampling rate and the maximum

number of harmonic analysis is shown in table 2.9. The excess part of single
harmonic parameters will show '' if the maximum number of
harmonic analysis is over the actual analysis number.
