Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the UTE9806+ ideal for standby power measurements?

The UTE9806+ can accurately measure currents as low as 0.05mA, which is essential for evaluating standby power consumption in modern electronic devices. This ultra-low current sensitivity, combined with high measurement accuracy, ensures reliable compliance testing for energy efficiency standards that regulate standby power limits.

How does the switchable parameter window function work?

The UTE9806+ uniquely allows you to assign different measurement parameters to each of its four display windows. Simply use the function keys to cycle through available parameters (voltage, current, apparent power, power factor, and frequency) for each window. This flexibility lets you customize the display to show exactly the measurements most relevant to your specific testing needs.

Can the UTE9806+ be used for both production testing and laboratory analysis?

Absolutely. The UTE9806+ includes features beneficial for both environments. Its comprehensive limit setting and alarm functions support efficient production testing, while its high precision and data logging capabilities satisfy detailed laboratory analysis requirements. The instrument's robust construction also ensures reliability in both settings.

What's the difference between apparent power and active power measurements?

Apparent power (VA) represents the total power in an AC circuit, including both real power consumed by the load and reactive power that oscillates between the source and load. Active power (W) measures only the real power consumed. The UTE9806+ measures both, providing a complete picture of device power consumption characteristics, particularly important for loads with reactive components.

How does the averaging function improve measurement stability?

When measuring devices with fluctuating power consumption, the averaging function applies a rolling average to stabilize the displayed readings. This makes it easier to interpret the overall power consumption patterns without being distracted by momentary variations. The function is particularly valuable when testing devices with cycling operational modes or variable loads.

Is the UTE9806+ suitable for testing multiple products simultaneously?

While each UTE9806+ unit measures a single device, multiple units can be networked via RS-485 interfaces for synchronized multi-device testing. The Modbus protocol support enables integration with supervisory control systems for managing multiple test stations. This capability is particularly valuable for production environments that require parallel testing of multiple units.
