Data Loggers for Power - AEMC SimpleLogger II
The AEMC SimpleLogger II range of AC power data loggers are very easy to use and provide a complete data logging solution for measuring single phase AC current and/or voltage. They run from standard AA batteries and are simple to configure and deploy, yet offer sophisticated features such as flexible storage modes and true RMS measurement.

- L101 & L102 Simple Logger II - 1-Channel & 2-Channel AC Current Loggers requiring external CT's
- L562 Simple Logger II - AC Voltage and Current Logger, Records A rms, V rms and VA
- Accessories - Current Probes
About Measurement category - CAT III & CAT IV (click to view)
Measurement category - a method of classification of live electric circuits used in measurement and testing of installations and equipment, usually in the relation within a building (residential or industrial).
The categories take into account the total continuous energy available at the given point of circuit, and the occurrence of impulse voltages. The energy can be limited by circuit breakers or fuses, and the impulse voltages by the nominal level of voltage.
CAT III is for circuits which can be connected to the mains installation of a building. Energy is limited by circuit breakers to less than 110 000 VA with the current not exceeding 11 000 A.
Example: 110/240 V distribution boards, busbars, or equipment permanently connected to the 3-phase power supply (e.g. electric motors).
CAT IV includes circuits which are connected directly to the source of power for a given building. There are very high levels of available energy (e.g. limited only by the power transformer) and arc flash can occur.
Example: measurements on a cable connecting the power transformer and a building (i.e. before the circuit breakers in the building).

CL601 Simple Logger® II Clamp-on Current Logger
(Clamp-on, RMS Current, 0 to 600Arms Input, DataView® Software)
The Simple Logger® II Model CL601 is a battery powered, one channel recording device with an alkaline battery pack. osd
Line tracking is performed such that 64 samples over one line cycle are taken.
Frequency tracking is performed over the range of ±2Hz around the nominal line frequency (50 or 60Hz).
Harmonic measurements are calculated from these 64 samples.
The Simple Logger® II records TRMS (True RMS) at a rate of up to eight times per second. The measurement process is performed no more than eight times per second.
TRMS calculations are performed on a single line cycle.
This means that the input(s) are ignored between measurement intervals.
The main advantage of the logger is its ability to perform a variety of recording tasks with easy and intuitive setup from a computer using DataView® software.
Features
0 to 600Arms Input
Self contained, no exposed connections
TRMS measurements (True RMS)
Easy-to-use one button operation
Overload indication
Alarm Function
Includes DataView® software
Optically isolated USB 2.0 communication

L101 Simple Logger II Series (1-Channel Current)
L102 Simple Logger II Series (2-Channel Current)
The Simple Logger® II Model L101 is a one channel AC Current recording device powered by an alkaline battery pack.
Line tracking is performed such that 64 samples over one line cycle are taken.
Frequency tracking is performed over the range of ±2Hz around the nominal line frequency (50 or 60Hz).
Harmonic measurements are calculated from these 64 samples (Harmonics are only available from the Simple Logger® II Control Panel within the DataView® software).
The Simple Logger® II records TRMS at a rate of up to eight times per second. The measurement process is performed no more than eight times per second.
TRMS calculations are performed on a single line cycle. This means that the input(s) are ignored between measurement intervals.
The main advantage of the logger is its ability to perform a variety of recording tasks with easy and intuitive setup from a computer using DataView® software.
Analog information on the input is sampled and converted to a digital signal.
This digital signal is processed and stored along with scale and time information.
An optically isolated Universal Serial Bus (USB) port provides for the transfer of data from the instrument's internal memory to the computer for analysis.
