    CHAPTER 2 PRODUCT FEATURES Description The Simple Logger II Model CL601 is a battery powered, one channel ® recording device with 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 application). ® The Simple Logger II records TRMS at a rate of up to eight times per ®...

    While the instrument is OFF, it will momentarily turn ON for each scheduled sample interval. This operation will make sure that a scheduled recording will begin and sample intervals will be stored even while the instrument is OFF. The control operation of each LED is as follows: • GREEN: Starts a recording • ORANGE: Stops a recording • YELLOW: Clears the alarm state • RED: Erases the memory • BLUE: Turns the instrument OFF Simple Logger II Model CL601 ® ShopAEMC www. .com 1.888.610.7664 Shop for AEMC products online at:...
  • Page 13 Both of these modes have low power states, which require very little power from the battery. The LEDs will not blink at this time. By using these low power states, the instrument can be programmed to start recording at some time in the future without draining the batteries. • SLEEP mode: The instrument enters the low power state if the button is not pressed for one minute. It will remain in this state until either the button is pressed or the internal clock reaches the start time for a scheduled recording. • RECORD mode: The instrument enters the low power state between sample sets. The slower the storage rate, the greater the portion of time the instrument is in the low power state. Thus, the slower the storage rate, the longer the instrument can record.

    The instrument contains protection circuitry to prevent it from being turned on when the battery voltage is below 1.7V. There are two thresholds for the battery voltage: • The first is used to indicate low battery. The low battery indicator will blink when the battery voltage drops below 1.8V. • The second is used to determine when to terminate recording and turn the unit off. The shutdown threshold is when the battery voltage drops below 1.7V. Simple Logger II Model CL601 ® ShopAEMC www. .com 1.888.610.7664 Shop for AEMC products online at:...
