c) (Optional) PM/USB adaptor for PM-60/20A connection
Connect the PM/USB adaptor for PM-60/20A (not included) to the PM-USB adaptor socket “Data” for data retrieval
and analysis.
OPERATION
a) Measurement
1. Make sure all the wires are properly connected and not short-circuited.
2. Switch on the power source.
3. During boot up, the firmware version and factory preset data port mode will be shown on the display.
4. The reading will be shown on the display after the boot up.

1. Voltage (V)
Showing the present voltage in Volt (V).
2. Current (A)
Showing the present current in ampere (A).
3. Power (W)
Showing the present power consumption in watt (W).
The power reading will be temporary hidden when the cyclic value display is showing the running time.
4. Cyclic value display
The cyclic value display shows one of the readings and then jump to the next one every three seconds in the below order:
Ampere-hour (Ah) > Watt / hour (Wh) > Peak voltage (Vp) > Peak current (Ap) >
Peak power (Wp) > Minimum voltage (Vm) > Minimum current (Am) > Running time
To stop at a certain reading, press the RESET button briefly. Press again to start the rotation again.
Charge (Ah):
Showing the total electric charge supplied to the load in Ampere-hours since the wattmeter was connected.
Energy consumed (Wh):
Showing the total energy consumed by the load in Watt-hours since the wattmeter was connected.
Peak voltage (Vp):
Showing the peak voltage of the measurement session (from the moment that the wattmeter was started to present
or from last reset to present).
Peak current (Ap):
Showing the peak current of the measurement session (from the moment that the wattmeter was started to present
or from last reset to present).
Peak power (Wp):
Showing the peak power of the measurement session (from the moment that the wattmeter was started to present
or from last reset to present).
Minimum voltage (Vm):
Showing the minimum voltage of the measurement session (from the moment that the wattmeter was started to
present / from last reset to present).
Minimum current (Am):

Showing the minimum current of the measurement session (from the moment that the wattmeter was started to
present / from last reset to present).
Running time
Shows the duration of the measurement (from the moment when the wattmeter has been turned on/reset, until the
current point in time).
b) Reset measurement data
There are two ways to reset the measurement data and to clear the memory:
• press and hold the RESET button until you see the message “Press again for 5 sec to reset”, release the RESET
button and then hold again for five seconds, or;
• use the optional switch set in “CONNECTION - b) (Optional) External power source connection”. Press and hold
the switch for three seconds and release it.
c) Data retrieval
Refer to the manual of the PM/USB adaptor for PM-60/20A.
DISPOSAL
