INSTALLATION OF THE COLOUR-CODED IDENTIFIERS

For polyphase measurements, mark the current sensors, the voltage leads, and the terminals using the colored rings and inserts provided with the instrument, assigning one color to each terminal.

Detach the appropriate inserts and place them in the holes above the terminals (the large ones for the current terminals, the small ones for the voltage terminals).
Clip a ring of the same color onto each end of the lead that will be connected to the terminal.
