Power In/Out Connection; Digital Channel Connections - DENT Instruments ELITEpro XC Operator's Manual

P I /O
OWER N UT
The Power In/Out connection can be used with the ELITEpro XC to measure loads where the line voltage
is less than 80 VAC and the internal power supply will not operate (a small battery bank, for example) or
where AC line voltages are not available and you want to use current transformers to record amps only.
It can also be used as a 6V output to power any outside devices.
1) To power the ELITEpro XC using an external supply contact DENT Instruments for an appropriately
rated power supply.
2) The ELITEpro XC can also supply 6V DC at up to 200mA to an external device when the ELITEpro XC
voltage leads are connected to mains power between 80 and 600 VAC.

Digital channel connections are part of legacy products produced before ELITEpro XC, such as the
ELITEpro SP. Users of ELOG 14 connected to legacy products will see digital channels instead of analog
channels on the screen. The Digital channels provide users with a way to export kWh, kVAh, and kVARh
pulses to external devices. The ports are grounded when closed, and floating when open. For example, if
the setup table Digital 1 is configured to output KWh pulses with a Scale of 1.0, Digital channel 1 will
output a pulse for each kilowatt-hour of energy measured by the meter on Power Channel 1.
In Digital 2 the Scale is set to .001 (kWh), so a pulse would be generated for each Watt-hour of energy
measured on Power Channel 2. See below.
For example, in the Digital Channels setup below: A desk lamp with a 100W bulb will use 0.1 kWh every
hour; the meter produces a pulse once every 10 hours on Power Channel 1 and 100 pulses every hour
on Power Channel 2. In contrast, a 1,000W heater will use 1 kWh every hour; the meter produces a
single pulse once an hour on Power Channel 1 and 1,000 pulses every hour on Power Channel 2.
Digital 1/2: Turns the channels on/off by choosing an option from the drop-down list.
1) Enter a descriptive name in the Name field to identify your logger (optional).
2) Choose which Power Channel (CT) will be used to generate pulses from the drop-down list.
