Manage Your Usage
Some energy usage questions are deceptively simple.
“When do the lights come
on?” or “What’s the total run time of this motor this month?”
But even simple
questions can have answers that add up to significant dollars, and that’s why
it makes sense to take stock of energy usage.
The SMARTlogger™ series of instruments
are designed to address the top reasons that monitoring is sometimes skipped –
price and complexity.
SMARTloggers are inexpensive, and require no connections.
Inputs:
depends on the particular model: Internal sensors or current transformer (CT logger)

All the SMARTloggers™ have a 10-year battery, and are so simple
to install and use that there isn’t even an on/off switch.
The LIGHTINGlogger™
and the MAGlogger™ have no physical connection, using their built-in sensors to
monitor loads.
The CTlogger™ is designed for monitoring individual wires;
e.g. those in a breaker cabinet.
Battery backed memory retains the data so that it may be downloaded and analyzed in your PC later using the SMARTware™ software.

Rogowski Coil Current
Transformers have no metal cores which make them extremely flexible and light
weight.
Because they lack a metal core, Rogowski coils have very low phase
shift error, can be used on very high currents, and are suitable for highly distorted
AC waveforms.
These “rope” style CTs are designed to take measurements where
standard current sensors cannot.

These provide power to the RoCoil transformers above.
The ELITEpro's DC power output is only available when running in "line powered"
mode.
To operate in "line powered" mode, the ELITEpro's voltage
probes must be connected to a circuit (as per the .pdf sheet).
Notes
on line powering the ELITEpro
Otherwise a separate plug pack (5
to 24VDC out, 30mA max per coil) must be used to power the RoCoils.

10 measurements including actual energy costs,
kWh, volts, amps, power draw
and the ability to predict monthly and yearly costs.
For plug-in 110V electrical
devices, there is no simpler way to answer the question, "How much is
this device costing me?"
No wires to connect, simply plug into the outlet
and plug the measured device into the PLUGlogger. Non-volatile flash memory retains
kWh, energy cost (based upon local utility rates that you set) and total hours
so the unit can be read on site or taken to a more convenient location.
Excellent
for analyzing air conditioners, compressors, refrigerators, lights, computers,
copiers, printers or any 110V device in business or the home.
Leakage
current testing of appliances with an electronic switch is required by AS/NZS3760:2003.
Otherwise
you could pass an appliance with a fault beyond the switch. dln
Portable appliance testers with leakage current test function have previously been priced from around $2,000 upwards.
With the unit's unique 3 push button
operation, auto sensing of leads and auto detection that the appliance is switched
"On",
the PAC3760 is the most up-to-date and affordably priced tester
on the market.
