Nominal Frequency	60 Hz or 50 Hz
Displacement Power Factor	DPF or Cos φ
Phase Identification	A,B,C or L1,L2,L3

	Black-Red-Gray-Blue-Green/Yellow or
	Red-Yellow-Blue-Black-Green/Yellow or
	Black-Black-Black-Blue-Green/Yellow

If desired the settings in the table can be changed by the user.

Also other settings such as offset and span of trend and waveform displays are set to Factory Default values. This will give good readings in almost all situations and allows you to start measurements almost immediately.

At power-on a welcome screen is displayed that shows settings currently in use. Check if Date and Time of the system clock are correct. Also the wiring Configuration must match the configuration of the power system to be checked. The wiring Configuration is available under Function key F1.

If necessary adjust Date, Time, and Config. How to do this is explained in section ‘General Settings’. The welcome screen is shown in the Figure below.
