ReCon T Energy Logger
User manual
Installing your ReCon T Energy Logger
This section describes the steps you need to take to set up the ReConT Energy Logger at the
measuring point and begin a recording session.
There are three distinct steps for a recording session:
Set-up
Set-up, connection, and verification of connections and measured signals. User can clear the ReCon
T Energy Logger memory, make any desired ReCon T Energy Logger setting changes and check the
instrument internal clock.
Recommended initial checkup
Finding then you made a mistake after a long recording session is a frustrating experience. In order to
avoid this situation we strongly recommend doing a quick recording session (maybe with just 1 second
recording block) and download immediately just to make sure everything is fine in the instrument set-up and
the wiring connection.
End of recording
Simply disconnect the instrument in order to finish the recording session.
Connecting the ReCon T Energy Logger
To install the ReCon T Energy Logger, follow these steps:
1. Place the ReCon T Energy Logger at least 1 m away of any live voltage points. The ReConT Energy
Logger can be placed on the floor or a table, or fixed to a wall or pole with the fixing installation kit.
2. Connect the supplied yellow-green crocodile clip to the measuring ground. In order to prevent
ground loops make sure the measuring ground is the same as the ground on the power supply socket.
3. Connect the crocodile clips to the corresponding phases in this order: Neutral (Blue), L1 (Brown), L2
(Black), L3 (Gray).
4. After the phase sequence is verified, connect the current clamp s to the corresponding phases.
The instrument will start measuring as soon as power is applied. There is no need to press the
Start/Stop button. When this button is pressed for the first time the measuring and recording are stopped and
the instrument display indicates so. Pressing once more will resume the measurement and recording.
