GOSSEN METRAWATT PMA 16 Power Measuring Adapter
Applications
The PMA 16 power measuring adapter is inserted between the electrical outlet and the mains plug for safe and convenient measurement of power consumption at single phase devices under test. The protective conductor of the device under test remains fully functional.
Safety Precautions
The power measuring adapter is a measuring instrument accessory in accordance
with IEC 61010–1 / DIN EN 61010–1 / VDE 0411–1, and may only be used for its
intended purpose.
It may only be used in power systems with nominal voltages of up to 250 V
which are fused at a maximum of 16 A!
Instructions for Use
You will need a power meter which is equipped with connector jacks into which the contact-protected plugs at the permanently attached measurement cables of the PMA 16 can be plugged. For power measurement we recommend the METRAHIT ENERGY digital multimeter from GossenMetrawatt GmbH.
The following sequence must be observed when connecting the power measuring adapter to the device under test and the mains:
➭ Connect the measurement cables from the power measuring adapter to the
bonding jack ( : black), the voltage input (V: blue) and the current
input (A: red) at the measuring instrument and select the highest possible
power measuring range or Auto Range.
➭ Insert the power measuring adapter into the electrical outlet.
➭ Insert the mains plug from the device under test into the outlet at the
power measuring adapter.
➭ Switch the device under test on and read the measurement value from the
display at the measuring instrument. Select a lower measuring range if
necessary, in order to obtain highest possible resolution.
➭ Follow this procedure in reverse in order to disconnect the power measuring
adapter.
