12.1 Modes of Operation:
Three Phase Current and Voltage

Positioning Coils

Automatic Configuration
Before logging can be started the logger has to determine
which current phase the voltage reading is being derived
from.
For the automatic configuration to work successfully, the
current coils need to be separated correctly.
Connecting Coils
The three supplied coils are interchangeable and can be
plugged into any socket (they are not calibrated to a specific
socket or phase).
Ensure, where possible, that coils are connected around
the correct conductor, pairing any colour indicators on the
conductors with the appropriate socket on the logger.
The orientation of the coil, with regard to the direction of
the current flow, is not important and coils can be connected
around a conductor either way around.
On the following page is a table offering some guidance on
good and bad coil positioning for the set-up.
Once the logger has configured itself, and logging has
started, the coils simply need to be kept around the correct
conductor.
If Automatic Detection Fails
If the logger cannot automatically configure it will display
prompts to guide the user what to do (see page 24).
