Physical Power Channels - Dent ELITEpro XC Operator's Manual

Once the Quick Setup is completed, the View Typical Setup button appears in the Quick Setup area of
the screen. Clicking this button displays a wiring diagram showing how to connect the CTs and the
voltage leads of the ELITEpro XC corresponding to the selected setup. The diagram can be printed and
carried into the field for easy reference during installation. Refer to ELOG Quick Setup Wiring Diagrams
for detailed information of each Quick Setup option.
Additionally, depending on the setup, Calculated Power Channels with configuration options display in
the lower section of the Setup Table screen. See Calculated Power Channels.

HYSICAL OWER HANNELS
The ELITEpro XC has four configurable hardware channels corresponding to the current transformers or
other sensors.
1) Click on the maximize button in the upper right-hand corner of the Setup Table window to display as
much of the full screen as possible.
2) Click on the down arrow next to each channel you want to configure.
CT 1 must be placed on the phase listed as V High for Channel 1 in the ELOG setup table. CT2, CT3
and CT4 must also correspond to the appropriate phase as shown in Channels 2, 3, and 4 in the
ELOG setup table.
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) Enter a name for the channel, then select the Voltage References, Current Transformers, and any
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.
