Precautions
This instrument is compliant with safety standard IEC 61010-2-030, for voltages up to 75VDC between the input terminals. Failure to observe the following safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, and damage to the instrument and/or the installation in which it is located.
The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand all precautions to be taken prior to using the instrument. Thorough knowledge and awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.
Observe the conditions of use, including temperature, relative humidity, altitude, pollution degree, and location of use.
Do not use the instrument if it appears damaged, incomplete, or improperly closed.
Before each use, check the condition of the housing and accessories. Any item on which the insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or disposal.
All troubleshooting and metrological checks must be done by accredited personnel.
Measurement leads should not exceed 3’ (1m) in length.
Definition of Measurement Categories (CAT) CAT IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage installations.
Examples: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
CAT III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Examples: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
CAT II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to low-voltage installations.
Examples: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.
Receiving Your Shipment
Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage.

he Simple Logger (SL) Series are easy-to-use single-channel data loggers designed for recording
T measurements over time. These instruments measure voltage (5V 20mA
easurements are recorded and saved in the instrument’s internal flash memory. A single recording is stored
M at a time; to start a new recording you must download and delete the previous one if it exists. (Downloading is not strictly required, but we recommend it because otherwise the data will be lost.)
A
ll models are configured from a computer running the dedicated Simple Logger Control Panel software, downloaded free from the AEMC web site. This program also enables you to connect to the instrument, view measurement data in real time, download a recording, print this data as a report, and export it as a Microsoft Excel-compatible spreadsheet.
SL Series models are powered by two non-rechargeable AA batteries. The instrument can also run on USB power when connected to a computer or power supply.
