    • Note: Continue pressing the button until the [REC] indicator changes from blinking to off state.
  • [REC] disappears when the recording stops.
  • If the stop method is set to [OFF], recording stops automatically when memory becomes full.

Recording

Before recording, install the logger and perform a pre-measurement inspection. (See the Instruction manual for details.)

Start

  • From the Measurement display, hold the button for two seconds.
  • Note: Continue pressing the button until the [REC] indicator changes from blinking to an on state.
  • When the blinking stops and the data count is zeroed, the recording starts.

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

Printing Recorded Data

  • Example Graph Printout
