Indicators and Buttons

The AmpFlex®Logger has only one button and one indicator. Both are

located on the front panel.

The button is used to start and stop recordings and to turn the logger on

and off. The red LED indicates the status of the logger; OFF, STANDBY

or RECORDING. When the LED is lit continuously, it indicates an

overload condition.

Inputs and Outputs

The top of the logger incorporates a

permanent flexible sensor attached

by a 5 ft lead.

The bottom has a 5-pin circular

connector used for serial data

transmission from the logger to your

computer.

Range Selection

Before operating, determine the

maximum current to be logged.

Remove the back cover and select

the appropriate range as shown.

Simple Logger®AmpFlex®Current Probes

Battery Installation

Under normal conditions, the battery will last up to 6 months of

continuous recording unless the logger is restarted very frequently.

In the OFF mode, the logger puts almost no load on the battery. Use the

OFF mode when the logger is not in use. Replace the battery every six

months in normal use.

If the logger will be used at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or is

frequently turned on and off, replace the battery every three to four

months.

1. Make sure your logger is turned off (no light blinking) and all

inputs are disconnected.

2. Turn the logger upside down. Remove the four Phillips head

screws from the base plate, then take off the base plate.

3. Locate the two-wire (red/black) battery connector and attach the

9V battery to it. Make sure that you observe polarity by lining up

the battery posts to the proper terminals on the connector.

4. Once the connector is plugged onto the battery, insert the battery

into the holding clip on the circuit board.

5. If the unit is not in record mode after installing the new battery,

disconnect it and press the button twice then reinstall the battery.

6. Reattach the base plate using the four screws removed in step

two.

Your logger is now recording (LED blinking). Press the test button for 5

seconds to stop the instrument.

Note: For long-term storage, remove the battery to prevent discharge

effects.

Operation

Position the AmpFlex®sensor around the conductor to be measured. Be

sure that the positioning of the logger sensor does not violate the

minimum allowable bending radius of 0.75 inches (19mm).

Next, press the start/stop button on the front of the unit to begin the

recording session. The indicator light will double blink to indicate that the

recording session has started. When the recording session has been

completed, press the start/stop button to end the recording. The indicator

light will single blink to indicate that the recording session has ended and

the unit is in stand-by. Remove the logger from the conductor and

transport it to the computer for data downloading. See the User Guide for

downloading instructions.

INSTALLATION

Your Simple Logger®software is supplied on a USB drive. To install the

program, perform the following steps:

Auto Run Disabled: If Auto Run is disabled, insert the Simple

Logger®drive into the USB slot, then select Run from the Start Menu.

In the dialog box that appears, type: D:\setup, then click the OK button.

NOTE: In this example, your drive is assumed to be drive letter D. If this

is not the case, substitute the appropriate drive letter.

drive into the USB slot and follow the on-screen prompts to

complete the setup.

•Select Simple Logger 6.xx

•Select Acrobat Reader to install Adobe Reader

•Select Explore Drive to view the User Guide, Simple Logger®Catalog

or user specific manuals in PDF format.

To view the documents included on the drive, you must have

Acrobat Reader installed on your machine. If you do not have it

installed, you can install it from the Simple Logger®Software drive.

Installing Acrobat Reader: Select Run from the Start Menu. In the

dialog box that appears, type: D:\Acrobat\setup, then click OK.

NOTE: In this example, your drive is assumed to be drive letter D. If this

is not the case, substitute the appropriate drive letter.

Simple Logger®AmpFlex®Current Probes

USING THE SOFTWARE

Launch the software and connect the RS-232 cable from your computer

to the logger.

Note: The first time the program is launched you will need to select a

language.

Select “Port” from the menu bar and select the Com port you will be

using (see your computer manual). Once the software automatically

detects the baud rate, the logger will communicate with the computer. (ID

number of the logger and number of points recorded displayed).

Depending on the selected range, “ALXX-2500” or “ALXX-250” will be

displayed and automatically scale the graph accordingly.

Cleaning

The body of the logger should be cleaned with a cloth moistened with

soapy water. Rinse with a cloth moistened with clean water. Do not use

solvent.
