2) Click on the down arrow next to each channel you want to configure.
3) Select Power to turn on any channel. These channels refer to the current transformer inputs from
the ELITEpro XC. Selecting Power displays the options for configuring the channel.
4) Next you can Name the channel, select the Voltage References, Current Transformers and the
Recorded Values.
NOTE: The PT Ratio is used when monitoring voltages greater than 600 VAC (maximum rating of the
ELITEpro XC). Use an instrument grade transformer with low phase shift and high accuracy since errors
in the transformer will translate directly into errors in the recorded data. The PT Ratio value put into the
Setup Table in the logger should be the transformer
primary:secondary ratio. This feature is useful when
monitoring high voltage loads such as found at a
substation or on transmission lines.
For example, a potential transformer is used to monitor a
4160 VAC load. The transformer steps the voltage down
from 4160 to 120 VAC. The PT equals the transformer
ratio or 4160/120 = 34.667. Thus, 34.667 would be used
for the PT value in the channel Setup Table.
The Recorded Values of a power channel tell the logger what parameters you wish to record and can be
configured by selecting any combination of Volts, Amps, power (kW), volt-amps (kVA), power factor
(PF), and volt-amps-reactive (kVAR) as desired for each channel you turned on.

C : If a PT (Potential
AUTION
Transformer) is not used on service
voltages greater than 600V, the
ELITEpro XC may overheat (or worse)
causing irreparable damage and
extreme danger to the user.
