Why is the Electrocorder better than other similarly priced competitors? The Electrocorder range use a constant sampling technique, unlike the single reading of competitors. When the loggers start to record, they sample every channel 16 times per cycle, a cycle is 16ms at 60Hz and 20ms at 50Hz. At the end of each averaging period, 3 quantities are saved for each channel, the True RMS average, the Max, which is the highest cycle value during the period and the Min, lowest cycle value. This means that it will record all the peaks and troughs which are one cycle or longer.

The voltage and current levels are stored with dates and times. With the back-up battery, the Electrocorder can continue to record for months.

The PV-3 solar data logger is used by installers, householders, renewable energy companies to check PV (photo voltaic) installations. It can record solar irradiation up to 1,500W/m2 (watts per square metre), DC Voltage and DC Current produced by the panel, allowing you to assess the performance of a solar energy installation.

Why is the Electrocorder solar data logger better than other similarly priced competitors? The Electrocorder range use a constant sampling technique, unlike the single reading of competitors. When the loggers start to record, they sample every channel 16 times per cycle, a cycle is 16ms at 60Hz and 20ms at 50Hz. At the end of each averaging period, 3 quantities are saved for each channel, the TRMS average, the Max, which is the highest cycle value during the period and the Min, lowest cycle value. This means that it will record all the peaks and troughs which are one cycle or longer.

When recording the Electrocorder will store the average voltage (and current if applied) over the period chosen (1 sec to 60 min), it will also record the highest (max) & lowest (min) cycle values during that period.

The voltage levels are stored with dates and times. With the back-up battery, the Electrocorder can continue to record for 4 weeks. An external 12Vdc PSU input is available, to allow for prolonged logging without batteries. Memory capacity of 32,000 TRMS voltage values per channel (10 bit).

The DC-3VA DC Voltage Current Data Logger is a two-channel data logger specifically designed to accurately monitor one or two DC voltage channels, 1V to 300Vdc, and one DC current channel, allowing you to monitor PV (photovoltaic) cell output, DC charger performance, as well as many other applications – like DC motors. The stored data is uploaded to a PC via the supplied USB cable.

The kit includes a data logger, fused voltage leads, DC current probes, USB lead, 12Vdc PSU, Electrosoft software, and a carry case. IP65-rated enclosure.

When recording, the Electrocorder will store the average DC voltage and DC current over the period chosen (1 sec to 60 min), it will also record the highest (max) & lowest (min) values during that period.

The advantage of Electrocorder products over most others is that our Data Loggers constantly sample information (recording the Minimum, Maximum, and Average reading) over the set period. Many other products only take ‘snapshots’ of what is going on and can miss 99.9% of the data that is critical to your analysis.
