First-time Use/Setup Wizard
To start the Logger:
1. Install WiFi/BLE or WiFi only adapter (see WiFi and WiFi/BLE-to-
USB Adapter on page 6).
2. Attach the power supply to the Logger or use the dc power cable
to connect the power supply with the Logger.
3. Connect the power cord into the power supply.
The Logger starts up in <30 seconds and the Setup Wizard
starts.
4. Pick the language (see Instrument Settings on page 39).
5. Push  (Next) or  to navigate to the next page.
6. Push  (Cancel) to close the setup wizard. If you cancel, the
setup wizard starts again on next startup of the logger.
7. Pick the work standards for your region. This action selects the
color codes and the phase descriptor (A, B, C, N or L1, L2, L3,
N).
This is the best time to apply the correlating decal on the
connector panel. The decal helps you to quickly identify:
• appropriate voltage test leads
• current probes for the three phase
• neutral for the voltage
8. Attach the color clips to the current probe cables.
9. Pick your time zone and date format. Confirm that the correct
date and time are shown on-screen.
10. Pick the currency sign or currency code.
The Logger is now ready for the first measurements or energy study.
Note
Be aware that for power measurements in 3-phase systems:
• Total Active Power (W) is the sum of the individual
phases
• Total Apparent Power (VA) also includes the neutral
current that can result in a very different result than the
sum of the three phases. This is especially noticeable
when a signal is connected to all three phases (for
example, a calibrator) the total value is approximately
41 % higher than the sum of each phase.
• Total Fundamental Power (W and var) only delivers the
sum of each phase when the phase rotation is
clockwise. It is zero when the phase rotation is counter-
clockwise.
For more information, see the white paper, Measurement Theory
Formulas, at www.fluke.com
for a list of formulas.
Note
The neutral current is calculated for use in the apparent
power formula according to IEEE 1459.
