_____________________________________________________________________ 1.3 Measurement Value Recording Modes Effective value calculation To calculate effective value, measurement signal is sampled every 250 µs and operation is carried out from data with maximum 400 points to seek effective value. Maximum 400 points partitioned at complete cycle 250 µs Recording instantaneous value To record instantaneous value, calculate effective value only...
_____________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2 Set Up 2.1 Installing or Replacing the Batteries To avoid electric shock when replacing the batteries, first disconnect the connection cables from the object WARNING to be measured. During battery replacement, use caution not to put any foreign materials such as a metal object into the unit to avoid damage to the unit.
Page 18
_____________________________________________________________________ Installing new batteries ensures about 1 year of instantaneous value recording (when interval is set at more than 1 minute) and about 1 month of average value recording. (reference value with power save setting set to valid and at 20 ) Remaining battery power indicator ( ) indicates remaining battery life reducing incrementally from right.
_____________________________________________________________________ 2.2 Power Save Function Display window is automatically turned off in approximately 15 seconds after last key entry. (Sleep) However, while recording, REC/AV/ mark shows each conditions. Sleeping..Press any button to turn display on to display measurement value or to set settings. Note when interval setting display is on, sleep does not engage with no button press.
_____________________________________________________________________ 2.3 Setting Current Time When replacing 3636-20 CLAMP LOGGER batteries or using 3636-20 stand-alone (with manual operation) for the first time, connect with COMMUNICATION BASE and set current time. See how to set current time in COMMUNICATION BASE instruction manual.
When connecting with 9650 CLAMP ON SENSOR and 3636-20 measurement range is set at 50 A, do not exceed 50 Arms. To avoid damaging the unit, do not use any other sensors except 9650 or 9651 CLAMP ON SENSOR as sensor connector.

12. Minimum/ Vaild Maximum value display ・When PC, COMMUNICATION BASE and 3636-20 are connected, separate range can be set in each channel. Once settings are set, range setting with manual operation sets common range. ・Alarm and comment setting are available when personal computer is connected to both logger and COMMUNICATION BASE.
Page 24
_____________________________________________________________________ 1. Start recording Start manual recording by pressing logger REC/STOP button for 1 second or initiate by prescheduled start set using COMMUNICATION BASE. When time scheduled start is engaged, clock icon appears in display. When batteries are weak, recording does not start.
