2. FEATURES 2.1 DESCRIPTION PEL: Power and Energy Logger The PEL 112 and PEL 113 are simple-to-use, single-, dual- (split-phase) and three-phase (Y, ∆) Power & Energy Loggers. The PEL offers all the necessary functions for Power/Energy data logging for most of the (50, 60, 400) Hz and DC distribution systems worldwide, offering numerous distribution set-ups.

SD-card ready for use. Data recording sessions are stored on the SD-card. The PEL 112 and PEL 113 accept SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, FAT32 formatted, up to a capacity of 32 GB. If a replacement SD-card is unformatted, you will need to format it before use. It is best to format the SD-card using the PEL Control Panel, otherwise format using a PC.
Downloading over USB and Ethernet may be acceptable depending on the session size and network speed. We recommend putting the SD-card into your PC directly or with the external card reader for fastest download time. Power & Energy Logger Models PEL 112 & 113 - User Manual...
