Install your battery
The EL-USB-ACT is supplied with two AA batteries fitted. To begin use the battery tab must be removed as shown below.
Install EasyLog Software and Driver

Your Data Logger is now ready for use!
To begin using your data logger, connect the mini-USB cable to your data logger and an available USB port on your PC. Setup the data logger by clicking ‘Setup and start the USB data logger’ and follow the onscreen instructions. When the setup is complete, the data logger should be removed from the USB port to begin logging. For advice on how to best use the data logger for your application, please contact Lascar’s customer service team.
Selecting a Current Clamp
The EL-USB-ACT is compatible with most current clamps which output an AC or DC
mV signal proportional to the amount of current the clamp is detecting. It is
advisable to select a current clamp which features 4mm banana plugs for quick
connection to the EL-USB-ACT; otherwise banana plugs must be manually fitted
in order to connect to the data logger.
Please note that the maximum output voltage from the clamp should not exceed
723V a.c. or 1000mV d.c.; an input to the data logger above these values may
damage the data logger. If you are unsure of your choice of current clamp,
please contact Lascar for advice.
