  • Displays settings.
• (-), (+)
  • Changes Measurement display contents.
  • Changes setting values on the Settings display.
• REC/STOP
  • Hold for two seconds to start/stop recording.

Measuring Display

Power Save

• Battery life is extended when on (enabled).
• The default is on.

Recording Mode

• When on (statistical recording), instantaneous, maximum, minimum, and average values are recorded at each interval. (Record statistical values)
• Battery life is shorter.
• The default is off.

Stop Method

• Select what happens when memory becomes full.
• When on, the oldest data is overwritten (Endless Recording), and when off, recording stops (One-Time Recording). The default is on.

Troubleshooting

No measured value is displayed.

• Is the cable plug inserted in?
• Verify the correct plug orientation, and insert it as far as possible.
• If the values are not displayed despite these measures, the connection cable and logger need to be inspected and repaired.
• Please contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
• Note: The maximum and minimum values are not displayed when the recorded data count is 0.

The display is blank.

• Is auto power saving enabled (set to ON)?
• When enabled, the display blanks after 30 seconds of operator inactivity.
• Press any button or send a communication signal to turn on the display.

The [REC] indicator disappears even though the recording has not been stopped.

• Is the stop method disabled (set to OFF)?
• With disabled, recording stops automatically when memory becomes full.
• To record continuously until stopped by the REC/STOP button, enable the stop method.
• (In this case, old data is overwritten when the memory becomes full.)

Recorded data has disappeared.

• Does the recording restart after stopping?
• Note that if the recording is accidentally restarted after stopping, data recorded prior to the last recording is automatically erased.
• (The logger retains the data from both current and most recent prior recording operations.)

To erase logger memory

• Erase using the PC Utility program. See the Instruction manual for details.

The battery is depleted too quickly.

• Are you using the battery originally supplied with the logger?
• Are you using a zinc-manganese battery?
• Install a new AA-size (LR6) alkaline battery.

PC Utility Program Features

Making Detailed Settings Displaying Recorded Data in

• Configure settings on the LR5000 “Data Logger” series loggers, and a Table on the LR5092-20 Data Collector.
• The PC utility program can access settings that cannot be accessed from the logger itself.

For example,

• Set recording start/stop method and timing to start and stop recording automatically at scheduled times (Timer Measurements).
• Measurement data can be freely scaled for display (Scaling).
• Set upper and lower thresholds so that measurements outside of the range cause [AL] (Alarm) to appear on the logger screen (Alarm Judgment).
• Add comments to measurement data.

Processing Recorded Data

Process data imported to the computer.

• Freely scale for display (Scaling)
• Calculate electric power easily (using clamp logger measurement values)
• Calculate energy cost easily (using clamp logger measurement values)
• Calculate duty cycle
• Integration
• Calculate dew-point temperature (using temperature/humidity logger measurement values)

Organizing Recorded Data

Sort data imported to the computer.

• Copy (files between folders)
• Move (selected files between folders)
• Delete (selected files)
• Combine (multiple recording files into one, and save with new file name)
• Extract (data for a specified period, and save with new file name)

Displaying Recorded Data in a Table
