Model UT231: OPERATING MANUAL
Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: inpollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 600V,CAT IV 300V) and double insulation.
CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smallertransient overvoltages than CAT. IV.CAT IV: Primary supply level, overhead lines, cablesystems.
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may beimpaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions andactions that pose hazards to the user, or may damagethe Meter or the equipment under test.
A Note identifies the information that user should payattention to.
International electrical symbols used on the Meter andin this Operating Manual are explained on page 6.
Rules For Safe Operation
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or tothe equipment under test, adhere to the followingrules:
Warning
Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do notuse the Meter if it is damaged or the case (orpart of the case) is removed. Look for cracksor missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulationaround the connectors.Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation orexposed metal. Replace damaged test leadswith identical model number or electricalspecifications before using the Meter.Do not apply more that the rated voltage, asmarked on the Meter.
5
Model UT231: OPERATING MANUAL
When measurement has been completed,disconnect the connection between the testleads and the circuit under test, remove thetesting leads away from the input terminals ofthe Meter and turn the Meter power off.Do not carry out the measurement when theMeter’s back case and / or battery door is openedto avoid electric shock.When the Meter working at an effective voltageover 30V in AC, special care should be taken.Use the proper terminals and function for yourmeasurements.Do not use or store the Meter in an environmentof high temperature, humidity, explosive,inflammable and strong magnetic field. Theperformance of the Meter may deteriorate afterdampened.Do not use the Meter if the surface of it is wetor the user’s hands are wet.When using the test leads, keep your fingersbehind the finger guards.Replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator appears. With a low battery, theMeter might produce false readings that canlead to electric shock and personal injury.When opening the battery door, must make surethe Meter is power off.When servicing the Meter, use only the samemodel number or identical electricalspecifications replacement parts.The internal circuit of the Meter shall not bealtered at will to avoid damage of the Meter andany accident.Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used toclean the surface of the Meter when servicing.No abrasive and solvent should be used toprevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion,damage and accident.Turn the Meter off when it is not in use and takeout the battery when not using for a long time.Constantly check the battery as it may leak whenit has been using for some time, replace thebattery as soon as leaking appears. A leakingbattery will damage the Meter.

Three Phases Four Wires and Three PhasesThree Wires Measurement Method
25
Model UT231: OPERATING MANUAL
The Model UT231 digital power clamp meter canmeasure single phase power and power factor. Thepower of three phases four wires system can use singlephase power measurement method to measure, seefigure 7.
If it is a balance load, the total watts is three times ofsingle phase. If it is not a balance load, test eachphase power separately, then sum up the three phasespower value to obtain the total watt. The apparentpower, reactive power, active energy and active powermeasurement methods are the same.
Power factor value can be obtained directly from eachphase power factor testing. Thee phases total powerfactor is equal to three phases total active power valuedivided by three phases total apparent power value.
Under three phases three wires balance load situation,
its total watt can be directly by measuring its voltage ofthe line and current of the line. Connect the loaded twophases to the V and COM input terminal of the powermeter, clamp the transformer jaw to the third phase, itstotal watt is equal to the reading obtained times 1.732.
Three phases total watt also can be obtained by usingthe specified clamp type three phases digital powermeter.
