12.3 Modes of operation:
Three Phase Current and Voltage
The mains connection and relative order information is shown
on the left-hand side of the screen, whilst the readings from
the current configuration are shown on the right.
Pressing the function key will step the logger through six
different configurations:
•
Mains connected to L1; L1 lags L2 lags L3
•
Mains connected to L2; L1 lags L2 lags L3
•
Mains connected to L3; L1 lags L2 lags L3
•
Mains connected to L1; L1 leads L2 leads L3
•
Mains connected to L2; L1 leads L2 leads L3
•
Mains connected to L3; L1 leads L2 leads L3
If you know the wiring diagram of the application you are
monitoring it should be possible to determine which of the
above is the correct option.
It may help to determine which is the correct
configuration by pressing the scroll button to
step through the current, power and power factor
readings from the logger.
Once you have determined which configuration is
the correct one, press the record button to start the
data logger recording.
Pressing the scroll button and the function button together
will exit the manual setup and return you to the main page.

Data Logging
The energy logger can be started and stopped multiple
times without needing to connect it to a computer.
Starting a Logger
Logging Interval
As supplied the logger is configured to record at a five
minute logging interval. This logging will allow the logger to
record for six weeks when three-phase current and voltage
is being monitored. If less phases are being monitored, the
logger will record for longer.
The logger can be configured to record from a minimum of
once every 30 seconds to a maximum of once every 10 days,
using the supplied Tinytag Explorer software.
Stopping a Logger
Multiple Logging Runs
The logger can record multiple logging runs, using the
logging button to start and stop recording sessions as
required.
By default, the logger will keep recording, over-writing the
oldest data when its memory is full. The logger can be set
to stop recording when it fills its memory using the Tinytag
Explorer software.
Data Logging
Once a logger has been connected, pressing and
holding the logging button will start it recording. On
screen prompts will confirm the logger has started,
and a logging icon will be shown on the display.
Logging can be stopped at any time by pressing
and holding the logging button. On screen prompts
will confirm the logger has been stopped and the
logging icon will disappear.
