GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Global Specialities' 2.6KW AUTOSCAN TRUE RMS POWER METER, MODEL 1523 is a state-of-
the-art instrument, ideal for providing all the information about any electrical load connected to the
AC Mains. It monitors/scans sequentially all electrical parameters viz., Voltage, Current, Power,
VA, & Mains Frequency, thus providing a clear picture of the load.
User operation is very simple. The load which is to be monitored is connected to the ‘Output’
Socket provided on the rear panel of the 1523 instrument. Each output is rated upto 130V & 10A
rms current. The instrument is then connected to the 115V AC mains. All the parameters are then
displayed on the LCD on front panel of the instrument.
An optional facility of remote communication has been provided. Through this, an external PC can
control the instrument and obtain information from it. This is possible by making use of a set of
commands, details of which are explained later.

material. Then bring out the instrument from the box.
Check carefully, whether there is any physical damage to the instrument during transit. Inform the
carrier about the damage alongwith the serial number of the instrument (located on the bottom
cover).
3.3 POWER REQUIREMENTS
The wiring of the instrument is done as per the marking on the rear panel, viz ‘Mains In’ 105V -
130V AC, 50/60Hz.
3.4 INSTALLATION
The instrument is ready for operation when shipped from the factory. The appliance/load whose
power is to be monitored should be at a safe distance from the instrument. This prevents
unnecessary heating up of the instrument.
