Once on the line it begins to collect and record the current load. The Amcorder UG uses the same current sensor technology as the original SensorLink ® Ampstik ® , which does not use magnetic materials. Measurements are taken at user defi ned intervals, entered before deployment in Softlink.
Preventative Maintenance The Recorder should be visually inspected for cracks in urethane. Do not use if cracks are present or the unit is damaged. Verify the air vent on the faceplate has not been covered. The membrane on the inside of the faceplate is designed to allow the unit to breath properly.
Battery Replacement and Operation Changing the Battery: The Amcorder UG requires one 9V battery. Remove the screw at the base of the unit and remove the cover plate. Snap the battery to the connector and insert into the battery slot. Replace the cover plate. The Recorder should have a fresh 9-volt battery replaced each time it is setup and deployed.
