As subsequent polling sessions are completed, the autopoll.log file is automatically updated and the new contact reports are appended to the existing .log file. The maximum size of the autopoll.log file is 1 Megabyte. If this limit is exceeded, AutoPoll automatically changes the existing .log file into a .bak (backup)and starts a new .log file.
Page 107 Configuring a Logger List Clicking Setup in the Logger List brings up the following screen for entering network connections and AutoPoll tasks: Connection Tab  The default connection type is Network. If the logger is to be used on a network enter the IP Address and Port Number assigned to the logger.
Page 108 The default call schedule shown above is a Single Call on January 1st at 00:00 (Midnight). Because the Append New Data button is selected, when the PC calls the logger only the “new” data in the logger stored since the last data download will be retrieved. Logger Tasks Set Logger Clock—If the Set Logger Clock box is checked then, after the PC calls the logger and the data download is complete, the PC will set the logger clock to the PC time.
Page 109 Call Interval Five choices are available for automatic polling and data retrieval however only one Call Interval may be selected at a time. The choices are: Immediate Call—Calls the logger as soon as the AutoPoll program is initiated. Use this to test the system after completing a logger installation to verify correct operation.

Page 113: Ethernet Lan (Standard)
Ethernet port 1) Configure the EXC for use on the network. First connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer, inserting the other end into the USB port on the ELITEpro XC. (Hint: Look for this USB symbol: ) If a USB cable is used inside an electrical panel, it must be rated to the appropriate voltage or wrapped in an appropriately rated insulating sleeve.
Page 114 4) Configure the Logger Ethernet Setup information once the ELITEpro XC has established a connection with the PC. a) From the ELOG menu, select Logger > Communication > Logger Ethernet Setup... The Logger Ethernet Setup dialog box displays. The Ethernet connection must have an IP Address that can either be set manually with the Use Static IP address option (for a fixed address) or obtained automatically from the router connected to the logger using the Use DHCP option (dynamic address).
Page 115 b) If necessary, change the Port Number. The factory default is 3001 and will usually work in most cases. The use of the Subnet Mask and Gateway Address are outside the scope of this manual. If needed, ask the network administrator for assistance c) Click Update Logger.
Page 116: Wifi And Wireless Access Point Connection (Optional)
ELITEpro XC as its own Access Point Using the ELITEpro XC as an Access Point “Hot Spot” is probably its most useful mode. As a Hot Spot, the logger allows one-to-one connection between the meter and a WiFi enabled device such as a laptop computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Page 122: Elitepro Mobile App (Optional)
OBILE PTIONAL The ELITEpro Mobile App provides access to any Wi-Fi-equipped ELITEpro XC or SP meter. Use this app in a remote setting, such as your car or office, to access data from an ELITEpro meter. Once connected with the meter, you can see real-time data to verify connections and read voltage, current, kW, kVA, PF, kVAR, and other parameters.
Page 123 The Real time Data Tab This tab allows you to see if you have the correct values and verify your connections. This tab shows voltage, currents, KW, KVA, PF, and KVAR by scrolling to the right and left. All of these values are being read directly from the EXC and are being updated every second.
Page 124 View Record This tab shows the last recorded record with the time stamp. You can scroll to the right or left to see all of your selected recorded values. Select Update to view the newest record. Graph This tab displays a Phasor plot graph. Using the graph you can see the phase relationship between the voltage and the current.
Page 125 Logger Properties On this tab the current settings and options are shown. For example, you are shown the current settings of the wired network, wireless network, and what Port you are using. Logger Settings The properties of the logger are shown. Memory capacity, integration period and status of logging (ON or OFF) are displayed.
Page 126: Bluetooth (Optional)
Connections must be configured initially via USB by users with knowledge of Windows Bluetooth wireless technology enabled products. To make a Bluetooth connection from a PC to an ELITEpro XC both devices must have a Bluetooth module. Most PCs, including laptops, do not have Bluetooth and it may be necessary to purchase a Bluetooth dongle (usually a plug-in USB device) and add it to the PC.
Page 127 1) Click Add a Device. You should then see a list of Bluetooth devices external to the PC including the ELITEpro XC identified by its serial number. (The logger may be the only device the PC sees.) 2) Select the desired ELITEpro XC and click Next.
Page 128 If you are unable to connect to the logger, check the following items: 1) In Windows Control Panel, open Devices and Printers and verify that the ELITEpro XC is shown in the Bluetooth devices along with the Bluetooth module in the PC. If not, reinstall the PC’s Bluetooth device and/or re-pair the PC to the logger.
