Product catalog summary
Overview
The Model 928A Power System Multimeter by Arbiter Systems, Inc. is a compact, hand-held AC power measurement instrument. It offers high performance and flexibility, measuring basic data, power quantities, and power quality factors such as harmonics, flicker, sags, surges, and interruptions. It features a graphic LCD display, serial communications, and a real-time clock.

Inputs
The device has two identical input measurement channels for voltage or current, with a basic accuracy of 0.1%. It requires an input current transformer (CT) for current measurements, and the accuracy is influenced by the CT's precision. The current inputs are compatible with both voltage and current output CTs, and calibration tables are available to minimize errors.

Features
The Model 928A includes a 128 x 64 graphic backlit LCD display, a 30-key multifunction keypad, and a USB 1.1 interface. It can be powered by four AA batteries or an optional external power supply. Accessories include various CTs, a tilt/bail handle, a soft case, test leads, and an external power supply.

Specifications
  • Input Configuration: Two channels with voltage and current inputs, compatible with external CTs.
  • Voltage Range: 1 to 660 Vrms with 1.2 megohm impedance.
  • Current Range: 0.01 to 1.2 Arms or Vrms, with a low range for measurements below 1 mA or 1 mV.
  • Interface: 128 x 64 graphic LCD, 30-key keypad, USB 1.1, 512 kB flash memory.
  • Power Requirements: Operates on 4 AA batteries or external +7 to +10 Vdc power supply.
  • Measurements: True rms voltage and current, phase angle, frequency, harmonics, and power/energy quantities with high accuracy.


General Specifications
  • Size: 200.0 x 104.2 x 37.4 mm, 1 kg weight.
  • Environmental: Operating temperature from -10 °C to +50 °C, non-operating from -40 °C to +75 °C.


Accessories
Included accessories are an operation manual and a voltage probe lead set. Optional accessories include various CTs, a soft carrying case, USB data cable, and an external power supply. A starter kit is also available, which includes a range of accessories for comprehensive use.

POWER CALIBRATORS AND METERS CURRENT INPUTS Model 928A Power System Multimeter™ Specifications subject to change without notice. Aprobe OUTPUT ONLY • Power and Energy • Flicker Per IEC 61000-4-15 • Harmonics I, V to 50th, THD • Phase Angle I-I, V-V, I-V • Waveform display Built by Power Professionals, For Power Professionals The Model 928A Power System Multimeter with Floating-Point DSP™ Digital Signal Analysis is an AC Power measurement instrument, providing outstanding performance and flexibility in a small, hand-held package. Not only does the Model 928A measure basic data and power quantities, but it also measures power quality including harmonics, flicker, sags, surges and interruptions. Incorporating a graphic LCD display, serial communications, real time clock and an unprecedented combination of features makes the Model 928A the ideal instrument for the power professional. Inputs The Model 928A uses two identical input measurement channels capable of measuring either voltage or current. The dual inputs allow for voltage to current, voltage to voltage or current to current measurements with a basic accuracy of 0.1%. Note: an input CT is required for any current measurement and the basic accuracy of the Model 928A is affected by the accuracy of the input CT. The flexible current inputs are compatible with both voltage output and current output CTs. Convenient current transformer calibration tables help eliminate errors introduced by the CTs and lessen their effect on system measurements. A special 0 to 40 mA range allows for accurate low level (< 10 mA) measurements. Features The Model 928A includes a bright, 128 x 64 graphic backlit LCD display, a 30-key multifunction keypad and USB 1.1 interface. The Model 928A may be powered either from four AA type cells (alkaline or NiMH) or an optional external, +7 Vdc plug-in power supply. Accessories The Model 928A requires an external CT for current measurements, such as the AP0001300 (1000:1) or the AP0012300 (100:1). Optional accessories include a tilt/ bail handle, soft case, test leads, external +7 Vdc power supply, and other CTs.
