Storage
Storage
When not in use, keep the Logger in the protective storage
bag/case. The bag/case has sufficient space for the
Logger and all the accessories.
If the Logger is stored for an extended period of time or is
not in use for a long time, you should charge the battery at
least once every six months.
Power Supply
The Logger includes a removable power supply, see
Figure 3. The power supply is either attached to the
Logger or used externally with a DC power cord. The
configuration with the externally connected power supply is
preferred in locations where the Logger with the power
supply attached is too big to fit in a cabinet between the
door and panel.
When the power supply is connected with the Logger and
connected to line power, it:
• converts line power to dc power and is used directly by
the Logger
• automatically turns on the Logger and continuously
powers the Logger from the external source (after
initial power on, the power button turns on and turns
off the Logger)
• recharges the battery
The power cord/measurement line cover slides to select
the input source.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, do not use the power supply if
the power cord/measurement line slide-cover
is missing.

How to Charge Battery
The Logger also operates on an internal rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery. After you unpack and inspect the
Logger, fully charge the battery before first use.
Afterwards, charge the battery when the battery icon on
the screen indicates that power is low. The battery
automatically charges when the Logger is connected to the
mains power. The Logger continues to charge when
turned off and connected to mains power.
Note
The battery charge is faster when the Logger is
turned off.
To charge the battery:
1. Connect the mains cord to the ac input socket on the
power supply.
2. Fit the power supply to the Logger or use the dc power
cord to connect the power supply to the Logger.
3. Connect to mains power.
Caution
To prevent damage to the Product:
• Do not leave batteries unused for extended
periods of time, either in the product or in
storage.
• When a battery has not been used for six
months, check the charge status and
charge the battery as appropriate.
Clean battery packs and contacts with a clean,
•
dry cloth.
•
Battery packs must be charged before use.
•
After extended storage, it can be necessary to
charge and discharge a battery pack to obtain
maximum performance.
•
Dispose properly.
Note
• Li-ion batteries keep a charge longer if stored
at room temperature.
• The clock resets when the battery is
completely discharged.
• When the Logger shuts off because of low
battery, enough battery capacity is available to
back up the real-time clock for up to 2 months.

Voltage Test Leads
Voltage test leads are four-core, flat, test leads that do not
tangle and can be installed in tight spaces. On installations
where the access to Neutral is out of reach with the threephase test lead, use the black test lead to extend the
Neutral lead.
For single phase measurements use the red and black test
leads.
Thin-Flexi Current Probe
The Thin-Flexi Current Probe works on the Rogowski coil
(R-coil) principle that is a toroid of wire used to measure
an alternating current through a wire encircled by the
toroid. See Figure 4.

The R-coil has many advantages over other types of
current transformers:
• It is not a closed loop. The second terminal is passed
back through the center of the toroid core (commonly a
plastic or rubber tube) and connected along the first
terminal. This allows the coil to be open-ended,
flexible, and able to be wrapped around a live
conductor without disturbing it.
• It has an air core rather than an iron core. It has a low
inductance and can respond to fast-changing currents.
• Because it has no iron core to saturate, it is highly
linear even when subjected to large currents, such as
those used in electric power transmission or pulsedpower applications.
A correctly formed R-coil, with equally spaced windings, is
largely immune to electromagnetic interference.

Accessories
Use the color clips for easy identification of the three
current clamps. Apply the clips that are appropriate for
your local wiring codes on both ends of the current clamp
cable. See Figure 5.

Figure 5. Test Leads with Color Coding
Kensington Lock
A Kensington Security Slot (also called a K-Slot or
Kensington lock) is part of a built-in anti-theft system. It is
a small, metal-reinforced, oval hole found on the right side
of the Logger (see item 6 in Table 3). It is used for
attaching a lock-and-cable apparatus. The lock is secured
in place with a key or combination lock attached to a
plastic-cover metal cable. The end of the cable has a small
loop that allows the cable to be looped around a
permanent object, such as a cabinet door, to secure it in
place. This lock is available from most electronics and
computer suppliers.
