The calculation method of harmonic analysis is IEC. There are two methods IEC and
CSA to select in computer communication software .
(1) Two calculation methods of total harmonic distortion and each harmonic
distortion
IEC method()：Computes the ratio of the rms value of the 2nd to 50th order

component to that of the fundamental (the 1st order). The computation equations are
as follows:

harmonic) of voltage or current;
Uk or Ik： the effective value of kth harmonic of
voltage or current;
Uk% or Ik%：the relative value of kth harmonic of
voltage or current;
k：harmonic order;
n：the maximum harmonic order set by user,n=50.

Note:In calculating the total harmonic voltage,current and power,loss and calculate
from the fundamental to the effective value of the maximum harmonic ,and 0
harmonic value (DC component) and the harmonic value which is more than the
maximum are not calculated.
5.4 Judgment Function of Limit(PF9804)
PF9804 has the judgment function of upper and lower limit,the operations are as
shown in Figure 5.3.
Figure 5.3 The setup of PF9804 limit

The Judgment of Upper and Lower Limit of Active Power and Current
OK When the measured power and current are within the preset
upper and lower value (PL≤PM≤PH and AL≤AM≤AH), the
green OK indicator will light up.
LOWER When the measured power or current is lower than the preset
lower value (PM < PL or A M<AL), the LOWER red
indicator will turn on and the green OK indicator will
extinguish , and the corresponding unit indicator W or A will
twinkle, and the bell will ring.
UPPER When the measured power or current is upper than the preset
upper value (PM > PL or A M>AL), the UPPER red indicator
will light up ;The green OK indicator will extinguish, and
the corresponding unit indicator W or A will twinkle, and the
bell will ring.

Note:
When the measured power is zero, the instrument will not judge the limit of
power. When the measured current is zero, the instrument will not judge the
limit of current.
If you don’t want to judge the limit of power, you can set the upper value of
power as 9999kW and the lower value of power as 0.000W. If you don ’t
want to judge the limit of current, you can set the upper value of current as
9999A and the lower value of current as 0.000A.
Being limited to display digit, when the active power is negative, the minus
is not displayed (negative polarity can be judged depending on the power
factor). The value of power must be over the preset limit because it is
positive polarity, and will result in alarm. You can turn off the signal input
and change the position of the connecting wires of the two terminals in
rear panel(Voltage and Current can not be changed at the same time), which
makes the measured value of power be positive.
5.5 Function of key lock
Lock the display value,the “LOCK”key light is turn on,Press the LOCK key again to
release the lock state.
5.6 Function of Mute(PF9804)
If you don’t need the sound alarm, you can press MUTE key to disable the bell to ring.
In MUTE state the MUTE indicator will light up. Press the MUTE key again to exit
from MUTE state.
5.7 Communication Setting(PF9810/PF9811)
In the Normal mode measurement,Press the “COM MODE”key to the communication

mode setting, you can select communication “SPEC”or “NORM” by “ ∧ ”key and
“∨”key.
SPEC:Multi-machine communication mode.When using this mode,the instrument
address can be selected and saved,the setting range of address :0~31.

Overview
The PF9800 digital power meter series are kinds of portable and economical meter
that can implement the power frequency electrical parameter measurement, which
are cost-effective and suitable for production test and assessment, and scientific
research, etc.
The PF9800 series involve three models, the three models are PF9804, PF9810,
PF9811, repectively. The PF9810 and PF9811 provide the same functionality in
measuring voltage, current power, power factor, frequency, and harmonic analysis and
serial communication, the two models are just different in mesurement ranges. Not
only the PF9804 can implement function like measuring voltage, current power,
power factor and frequency, but also preset current, the upper and lower bound of
power, and sound attenuation, the PF9804 is also able to automatically determine
whether the measurement value exceed the limits.The PF9800 digital power meter
series are also equipped with function of latching current displayed values for data
recording, which can meet the demands on generating large and repeating test.
