Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103
For multiple-phase measurements, start by marking the accessories using the color-coded ID markers supplied with the device; a different color for each current terminal.
Connect the measuring leads to your PEL as follows:
■ Current measurement: I1, I2, I3 4-point connectors
■ Voltage measurement: V1, V2, V3 and N terminals
The measuring leads must be connected to the circuit to be monitored according to the selected hook-up diagram. Do not forget to define the voltage and current transformer’s ratios when necessary.
2.5 Installation of the Color-coded ID Markers
Refer to the current sensor’s safety sheet or user manual before connecting it.
Twelve sets of color-coded rings and inserts are supplied with your PEL instrument. Use these ID markers to identify the leads and input terminals.
■ Detach the appropriate inserts from the color-coded marker and place them in the holes provided under the terminals (larger inserts for current terminals, smaller inserts for voltage terminals).
■ Clip the rings of the same color to the ends of the lead you will be connecting to the terminal.

2.12 Memory Capacity
The PEL accepts FAT32 formatted SDHC cards up to 32 GB in size. This much data can require a lot of demand on a computer and a long download time (depending on the performance of the PC and connection type being used).
Furthermore, some computers may have problems handling such a large amount of data and spreadsheets can only accept a limited amount of data.
Recording rates for the different types of session data are as follows:
■ 1s Harmonics: 83 MB per day.
■ 1s Trends: 17 MB per day.
■ Aggregated data: 1.2 MB per day for 1 minute periods.
For longer periods, this rate is divided by the period in minutes.
Example: for an aggregation period of 10 minutes, the rate will be 0.12 MB per day.
We recommend managing the data on the SD card and only recording that which is needed. For reference purposes, a 5 day recording, with a 15 minute demand interval and recording 1 second data and harmonics on a 3-phase 4-wire network would consume approximately 530 MB of storage space. If harmonics are not needed and the recording of them is disabled, the space requirement is reduced to about 87 MB.
The recommended maximum recording times are:
■ seven days when the recording includes the aggregated values, 1-second data, and harmonics.
■ one month when the recording includes the aggregated values and 1-second data but not the harmonics.
■ one year when the recording contains only the aggregated values.
Also avoid exceeding 32 recorded sessions on the SD card.
NOTE: For recordings with harmonics or with a duration longer than one week, please use class 4 or higher SDHC cards.
We recommend not downloading large sessions through Bluetooth as it will take a very long time. If a Bluetooth download is required, consider not recording 1 second trends and harmonics. The same 30 day recording would be reduced to just
2.5 MB.
Downloading over USB and Ethernet may be acceptable depending on the session size and network speed. We recommend putting the SD card into your PC directly or with the external card reader for fastest download time.

3.2 Operating the PEL
IMPORTANT: The following OPERATION instructions assume that the PEL has been configured by the user prior to use. The PEL can only be fully configured through the PEL Control Panel distributed with the DataView
®
software, although on the PEL 103 some parameters (such as hookup type) can also be set through the LCD display on the device itself. Please refer to
§ 4.3 for setup instructions using DataView
®
, and § 3.7.6 for setup through the PEL 103
LCD display.
■ The PEL must be first programmed before recording. This is done through the PEL Control Panel (see § 4.3) or, for the PEL 103, this can also be done on the LCD display (see § 3.7.6).
■ The PEL is then connected to a power supply and will turn on automatically (see § 3.3.1).
■ Recording is started by pressing the Control button
(see § 3.4).
■ The PEL can be turned OFF when disconnected from the power supply (and when the recording session is completed - see § 3.3.2).

3.3 Turning the Instrument ON/OFF
3.3.1 Turning the PEL ON
To turn the PEL ON:
■ Connect the PEL to a power outlet with the AC power cord and the PEL will turn ON automatically. If it does not, press the ON/OFF button for >2 seconds.
■ The GREEN LED under the ON/OFF button turns ON when the PEL is connected to a live supply source.
NOTE:
The batteries automatically begin recharging when the PEL is connected to a live power outlet. Battery life is limited to approximately 1/2 hour when the battery is completely charged. This enables ride through during brief power outages and power shutdowns.
3.3.2 Turning the PEL OFF
The PEL will not turn OFF as long as it is connected to a power supply source and if a recording is ON.
NOTE: This is done as a precaution to ensure that the PEL is not accidently turned OFF when recording and to ensure that the PEL turns on when the power supply is turned back on after an outage.
To turn the PEL OFF:
■ Unplug the AC power supply outlet.
■ Press the ON/OFF button for more than 2 seconds until all LEDs turn on. Then release the ON/OFF button.
■ All LEDs and the display will turn off as the PEL powers down.
■ If the PEL has supply power present it will not turn OFF.
■ If a recording is pending or in progress it will not turn OFF.
NOTE:
Pressing the
ON/OFF button when the instrument is powered and/or recording (or pending) does not stop the instrument. This is done to avoid any accidental or unintentional recording stoppage by the user. You must first unplug the power cord from the supply outlet, stop any recording session, power down by pushing the
ON/OFF button for more than 2 seconds until all LEDs light up and then release the
ON/OFF button.

3.4 Starting/Stopping a Recording and Enabling Bluetooth
Recordings are stored only on the SD card.
To Start a Recording:
■ Insert the SD-card into the PEL.
■ Use the Control button
to start or stop a recording session and to enable or disable Bluetooth.
■ Press the Control button for more than 2 seconds and hold it down.
■ The green REC LED (see #1 Figure 8) will light up for 3 seconds, followed by the lighting of the blue Bluetooth
LED (see #2 Figure 8) for 3s - one after another. During the time these LEDs are lit, you will be able to control their respective function as described below.
■ Releasing the Control button during (and only during) the 3 seconds lighting of a particular LED performs the associated function:
■ REC LED (START/STOP)
- A release while LED is lit starts a recording (if recording is OFF)
- A release while LED is lit stops a recording (if recording is ON)
■ BLUETOOTH LED (ON/OFF)
- A release while LED is lit turns ON Bluetooth (if Bluetooth is OFF)
- A release while LED is lit turns OFF Bluetooth (if Bluetooth is ON)
If you want to make changes to both the Recording and Bluetooth, you need to go through the process twice.
NOTE:
If the Control button is locked (disabled) by the PEL Control Panel (see § 4), you cannot use it to start or stop a recording, or enable/disable Bluetooth. Instead, upon pressing the Control button while it is locked you will see the Bluetooth and REC lights blink twice, with no changes taking effect on the instrument. To enable the Control button, you must open the PEL Control Panel on your PC and de-select the “Lock out the Control button…” option in the Configure Instrument dialog box, as explained in the PEL Control Panel online Help.
3.5 Connections
3.5.1 Power Supply
The PEL is powered by standard AC power through an external C7 cord (figure-eight type, non-polarized power plug).
This power cord is available in many computer or electrical supply stores. It is also referred to as a Laptop or Netbook C7 power cable. For replacement, be sure to buy the non-polarized cord. Replacement power cords are also available from the factory.
The PEL can be supplied from nominal 110V to 250V (accepts ±10%) 50/60Hz to accommodate available supply voltages globally.
■ When the instrument is powered by AC power, the instrument is always ON.
■ Applying AC power to the PEL turns the instrument ON if it was OFF and starts recharging the batteries automatically.
■ When AC power is not present (power supply OFF or disconnected from a power supply), the instrument will run on battery power for approximately 30 minutes or less when Auto Power Off is enabled (see below).
■ The PEL has a built in Auto Power OFF, which can be set to 3 to 15 min or disabled.
■ When the battery level is too low and a Low Bat condition occurs (the red LED
blinks twice per second), the instrument will eventually turn OFF. The PEL will start up again once it has been reconnected to a power supply.
■ When the instrument is not powered by AC power, it can be turned ON with the ON/OFF button (see § 3.3.1).

Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103
■ When the instrument is not powered by AC power and no recording is pending or in progress, it can be turned
OFF with the
ON/OFF button (see § 3.3.2).
3.5.2 Standby Mode (and Display Brightness)
When the instrument is ON and there is no activity for a definite time period, the LCD (PEL 103) automatically goes into
Standby mode.
The measurements and recording stay active, but the LCD backlight brightness diminishes to a user preset level. The
Standby LCD brightness level is user programmed through the PEL Control Panel (see § 4.4.1).
To re-establish the LCD Brightness, press the Enter or Navigation buttons.
Note that the overall display brightness is also programmed through the PEL Control Panel (see § 4.4.1).
3.5.3 Memory Card (SD-Card)
The PEL 102 and PEL 103 use an SD card for data storage. SD-Cards (up to 2 GB) and SDHC-Cards (4 GB up to 32 GB) formatted FAT32 are supported. The PEL is delivered with a formatted SD card in the instrument. If you want to install a new SD card, you must format the card before use.
■ Formatting the SD-Card is possible through the PEL DataView Control Panel when connected to the instrument and if no recording is pending or in progress.
■ Hot extraction from the PEL is possible when no recording is in progress.
■ PEL files use short names (8 characters), such as Ses00004.
3.5.4 USB Connection to the PEL
The PEL 102 and PEL 103 can be connected to a computer through a USB (type A/Type B connectors) to configure the
PEL, prepare a recording session (real-time connection) and download recording sessions.
NOTE: Connecting the USB between the PC and the PEL will not power the logger or recharge the batteries.
3.5.5 LAN Ethernet Connection to the PEL
A LAN connection can be used to view real-time data, instrument status, configure the PEL, setup and start a recording session and download recorded sessions.
The PEL has an IP address. When configuring the PEL with the PEL Control Panel, if the checkbox next to “Enable DHCP” is checked in the Communication tab of the Configure Instrument dialog box (see § 4.4.2), the instrument sends a request to the network DHCP server to automatically obtain an IP address.
If for any reason the DHCP server is not available, after 60 seconds the PEL Control Panel will enter auto-IP mode, using the default IP address 169.254.0.100 (the same IP address used when “Enable DHCP” is not selected). This auto-IP mode is compatible with APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing). A cross-over cable may be needed in auto-IP mode.
The Internet Protocol used is UDP. Port 3041 is used by default, but it can be modified in the PEL Control Panel (see §
4.4.2) to allow multiple PC connections to multiple PEL instruments behind a router.
Note the LAN parameters cannot be modified while connected over a LAN link. A USB connection must be used to modify them.

Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103
3.7 LCD Display Modes (PEL 103 Only)
The PEL 103 includes an LCD display that allows you to view a variety of measurement values and set-up parameters. The display also lets you change several configuration settings.
NOTE: Although the PEL 103 LCD display allows you to enter a limited number of set-up values, the PEL can only be fully configured through the PEL Control Panel (DataView
®
software). Note that the PEL 102 can only be configured with the PEL Control Panel. For detailed instructions on configuring, recording and downloading measurements, refer to § 4.
The
◄ and ► navigation buttons are used to scroll through the available modes LCD Display modes.
Five of these modes allow you to view several types of data:
(Base Measurements) displays the measurement values V, A, Power, Frequency, Power Factor, and Tanget Angle
(Energy) displays the energy values kWk, Vah, and Varh
(Harmonics) displays harmonics for current and voltage
(Max) displays the maximum values for the measurement, energy, and harmonic values
(Information) displays hook-up and system information
In addition:
(Configuration) allows you to enter several setup parameters, described later in this section.
3.7.1 Base Measurements - Displayed Values
The base measurements, or instantaneous readings, are displayed sequentially in screens showing all phases. The display sequence varies per type of power network. Table 4 shows the readings per network.
To navigate through the displays, use the Navigation
and Enter buttons.
■ Use the up and down arrows (▲ or ▼) on the Navigation button to step through the displays.
■ Use the Enter button to display additional information. Note that this does not advance the display to the next step. Instead, a screen displayed by Enter can be considered a “sub step” in the display cycle.
■ To exit a display called up by Enter, press the Navigation button once. This returns you to the previous screen; you can then use
▲ or ▼ to continue navigating through the displays.
■ To exit and move to a different display mode, press ◄ or ► on the Navigation button.
NOTE: In some distribution systems and steps, pressing Enter has no effect.

3.7.2 Energy - Displayed Values
The PEL measures the typical energy readings used. In addition, it enables advanced measurements for specialists or individuals doing in-depth analysis.
Individual power magnitudes for Power Flow Quadrants (per IEC 62053-23) are available by simply scrolling through each screen display. The values in each quadrant are often used by engineers addressing power flow issues
Energy measurements, which are time dependent (typically 10 or 15 minute integration or aggregation periods), are displayed sequentially in screens showing all phases. Table 2 shows the readings per network type.
■ The down arrow ▼ scrolls downward and the up arrow ▲ scrolls upward through the displays.
■ Each display is reached by pressing the down arrow ▼.
Energies are measured from the beginning of the recording session. Partial energies are the energies measured for a defined period (see §4.4.5).
■ Partial Energy is reached by pressing the
button for > 2 sec.
■ To reenter the Energy setting, simply push the down arrow ▼.
Definitions:
■ P+: Total Active Energy Imported (used by load) in kWh
■ P-: Total Active Energy Exported (to source) in kWh
■ q1: Active Energy Imported (by load) in Inductive Quadrant (Quadrant 1) in kvarh
■ q2: Active Energy Exported (to source) in Capacitive Quadrant (Quadrant 2) in kvarh
■ q3; Active Energy Exported (to source) in Inductive Quadrant (Quadrant 3) in kvarh
■ q4: Active Energy Imported (by load) in Capacitive Quadrant (Quadrant 4) in kvarh
■ S+: Total Apparent Energy Imported (by load) in kVAh
■ S-: Total Apparent Energy Exported (to source) in kVAh
Typically, industrial users will focus on the following values. The other values are used for load analysis and utilities.
■ kWh: Ep+ which is the traditional load Active Energy
■ kvarh: Eq1 which is the traditional load Reactive Energy
■ kVAh: Es+ which is the traditional load Apparent Energy

3.7.4 Max Display Values
Table 7 displays the LCD (PEL 103) sequence for each type of hook-up. Note that when a recording is in progress, Max is the maximum of the one second measurements during an aggregation period. This is reset either (1) when a new aggregation period starts, or (2) continuously, depending on how this setting is configured. You can also reset this value manually through the PEL Control Panel (see § 4.4.1). When no recording is in progress, Max represents the maximum of the one second measurements since the end of the last recording.

3.7.6 Configuration (PEL 103)
The Configuration mode lets you select the distribution system (hook up), voltage ratio and primary current value, primary
CT value, and aggregation period on the Model PEL 103 instrument. This screen is inactive when:
■ The PEL is recording (pending or in progress).
■ Configuration via the DataView PEL Control Panel is in progress.
■ The button is locked through an option in the PEL Control Panel.
■ Configuration is disabled by the Control button on the front panel.
NOTE: To avoid conflicts, when the Configuration screen is displayed, configuration through the PEL Control Panel is disabled. You also cannot start a recording session with the
Control button while the Configuration screen is displayed. If you attempt to use the
Control button while it is locked by the PEL Control Panel, the Bluetooth ON/
OFF indicator and the REC START/STOP light will flash twice simultaneously. The instrument will then continue its operation with no changes taking effect.
To change configuration settings on the Model PEL 103, enter the Configuration mode and do the following:
1. Scroll to the setting you want to change using the down arrow
▼ and up arrow ▲ buttons.
2. Press the
Enter
button. The displayed setting will start blinking.
3. Use the
Navigation
button to scroll through the allowable values for the setting.
4. When the desired value appears, press the Enter button. The setting will stop blinking.

This opens the Download dialog box and begins the transfer of recorded data to the computer:
Figure 66
■ You can hide the Download dialog box by selecting the Close button. This does not stop the download but simply hides the Download dialog box so you can continue to use the PEL Control Panel.
■ The Clear All button clears the list terminating the download of any downloads in progress. It does not delete them from the instrument or the download folder but simply removes them from the download list.
■ You can pause the download of a session by selecting it and clicking on the Pause button. To resume the download, repeat the process. The Pause button will change to a Resume button when you select a download that was previously paused. This indicates the action that will be taken when you select the button. The Pause button is disabled when a recording that has finished downloading is selected.
3. Once the file has been fully downloaded, it can be opened by selecting it in the Download dialog box and clicking on the
Open button or by double-clicking on the file. Alternatively, it can be opened from the Download Folder dialog box (see § 4.6). The session will then be added to the
My Open Sessions section:
Figure 67
4. Selecting different items under the session name in My Open Sessions will display the associated data in the data frame on the right.

4.6 Using the Download Folder
Downloaded sessions are saved to the download folder, which is located in the “…\My document\DataView\Download\
PEL\” folder. Sessions are saved so they do not need to be downloaded more than once. They are also saved so that if you exit the PEL Control Panel while downloading, the download can resume (where it left off) the next time the program starts.
■ To open the Download Folder dialog box select Tools > Download Folder from the main menu.
Figure 68
■ The Download Folder dialog box contains a list of instruments on the left side. This list contains instruments from which sessions were previous downloaded. On the right is a list of sessions that are in the download folder for the selected instrument.
■ Initially the list on the right is empty because no instrument is initially selected. Selecting an instrument on the left will update the list on the right to display all of the sessions associated with the selected instrument that are currently in the download folder.
■ You can use the download folder to open recordings previously downloaded even when the instrument is not connected to the computer. To do this, select the instrument on the left that the session was downloaded from.
Next, select the desired session from the list on the right. Finally, select the Open button to open the session and display it in the My Open Sessions navigation tree branch.
■ You can remove individually saved sessions from the download folder by selecting the desired session and clicking on the
Delete button located under the list on the right.
NOTE: A session cannot be deleted from the Download Folder dialog box if it is still currently listed in the Down-
load dialog box. You must first open the Download dialog box (go to Instrument > Download Recorded Data) and hit the Clear All button.
■ Note that there are two Delete buttons. The one on the left (under the list of instruments) will delete all of the saved items for the selected instrument. The
Delete button on the right (under the list of saved sessions) will delete only the selected session from the download folder.
Each time the PEL Control Panel starts it will calculate how much space is being used on the computer’s hard drive and compare it to the “Maximum allowable download folder size” specified at the bottom of the Download Folder dialog box.
Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103

If the amount of space being used by the download folder exceeds this amount, a warning message will be displayed. No action will be taken automatically; you are simply informed whenever the size of the download folder exceeds the amount specified here.
4.7 PEL Reports
Several predefined report templates are available for you to use. You can choose a report template either before or after a recording. You can also create your own custom templates.
A report is created by performing the following steps
1. Download recorded data from the instrument.
2. Open the downloaded data.
3. Select Create DataView Report from the File menu or by selecting the associated Toolbar button. The Select
Data to Export dialog box will be displayed.
4. Specify the time period of the recording that is to be used in the report and select OK. After the database is generated, the Create Report from Template dialog box will be displayed.
5. Select the desired report template (Basic is a simplified report and Monitoring is a detailed report containing many worksheets). Once the template is selected, select the OK button.
At the bottom of the report screen is a series of tabs used to select the desired worksheet to view.
4.7.1 Specifying the Default Report Template
The previous example required that you select the template from the Create Report from Template dialog box. You can also specify a default template that should be used to automatically generate the report. Doing so will eliminate step 5 above.
To specify the default template, perform the following:
1. Select the Select Report option from the Tools menu. The Templates dialog box will be displayed.
2. Select the template to be used as the default.
3. Click on the Select button. An asterisk will be displayed next to the name of the default template.
You can select any of the listed templates as the default.
You can remove the selection of a default template (and be asked to select a template each time you create a report) by clicking on the
Reset button.
4.8 Power & Energy Logger (PEL) Android App
Another way to connect to a PEL instrument is through the Power & Energy Logger (PEL) Android app. This app, which can be downloaded free from the Google Play Store (
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aemc.pel&hl=en
) enables you to work with a PEL instrument from an Android mobile device. Android is a platform for “touch screen” mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. Introduced in 2007, Android has grown to become the most popular mobile operating system in the world, with over one billion devices sold globally.
The PEL app connects to the PEL via Bluetooth. And if the PEL is connected to a LAN network, you can also communicate with the instrument over Wi-Fi.
72
1.800.561.8187
www.
.com
Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103
The PEL app provides a substantial subset of the functionality provided by the PEL Control Panel. For example, you can view data currently being measured by the instrument in real-time. This includes the type of distribution system currently being measured, and (for AC systems) the phasor diagram appropriate for this setup. Real-time data is organized in tables of related measurements for quick navigation and reference, and updated continuously from the instrument.
Figure 69
These data tables, which can require several pages to display, depend on the current distribution system. Different data appears for different distribution systems; the above example shows the first page of real-time data for a 3-phase 4-wire system.
You can also set parameters to schedule a recording session and specify what data will be recorded. This can be a recording that starts immediately, or at a future date and time. You can also choose which data to record. Recorded data is stored on the PEL instrument, where it can subsequently be downloaded to a PC and analyzed in detail using DataView.
In addition, you can view and/or set configuration variables on the PEL instrument. The PEL Android app enables you to review the current configuration settings on your PEL, and change these settings as required. You can change the type of distribution system being measured, voltage ratios, nominal frequency, current sensors options, communication-related settings, and other information related to the instrument and its operation.
The app is provided with a complete online Help system, which can be viewed independently at
http://www.pel100.us/ help-es/index.html
. Consult this Help system for a complete description of the PEL app and all its capabilities.

MA193
The Flexible Current Sensor MiniFlex
®
Model MA193 can be used to measure the current in a cable without opening the circuit. It also serves to isolate the user from hazardous voltages in the circuit. This sensor can only be used as an accessory of an instrument. Before connecting it, if you have several sensors, you can mark each of them using one of the color-coded ID markers supplied with the instrument to identify the phase. Then connect the sensor to the instrument.
■ Press the yellow opening device to open the Flexible coil. Then, place it around the conductor through which the current to be measured flows (only one conductor in the sensor).
■ Close the coil. In order to optimize measurement quality, it is best to center the conductor in the coil and make the shape of the coil as circular as possible.
■ To disconnect the coil, open it and withdraw it from the conductor. Then, disconnect the sensor from the instrument.

6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Battery
Your instrument is equipped with a NiMH battery. This technology offers several advantages:
■ Long battery charge life for a limited volume and weight.
■ Possibility of quickly recharging your battery.
■ Significantly reduced memory effect: you can recharge your battery even if it is not fully discharged.
■ Respect for the environment: no pollutant materials such as lead or cadmium, in compliance with the applicable regulations.
After prolonged storage, the battery may be completely discharged. If so, it must be completely recharged.
Your instrument may not function during part of this recharging operation.
Full recharging of a completely discharged battery may take several hours.
In this case, at least 5 charge/discharge cycles will be necessary for your battery to recover 95% of its capacity.
To make the best possible use of your battery and extend its effective service life:
■ Only charge your instrument at temperatures between 50°F and 104°F (10°C and 40°C).
■ Comply with the conditions of use defined in the operating manual.
■ Comply with the storage conditions specified in the operating manual.
Before first use, charge and discharge the instrument one or two cycles to ensure the proper level display of the battery indicator.
Note that if you are unsure about changing the battery, we recommend having this done at our Service Center as part of the PEL instrument’s regular maintenance.
6.2 Battery Indicator
The Yellow/Red LED (see #6 Figure 8) is used to indicate the status of the battery.
When the power is on, the battery is charging until it is full.
■ LED OFF: Battery full (with or without power supply).
■ Yellow LED ON/No blinks: Battery is charging.
■ Yellow LED blinks twice per second: Battery is recovering after a full discharge.
■ Red LED blinks twice per second: Low battery (and no power supply).
6.3 Cleaning
Disconnect the instrument from any source of electricity.
■ Use a soft cloth, dampened with soapy water. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry rapidly with a dry cloth.
■ Do not use the instrument if the terminals or keyboard are wet. Dry them first.
■ Do not use alcohol, solvents, or hydrocarbons.
■ Do not splash water directly on the instrument.

Reference of this diagram is the current vector (fixed on right-hand line).
The voltage vector V varies its direction according to the phase angle ϕ.
The phase angle ϕ between voltage V and current I is taken to be positive in the mathematical sense (counter-clockwise).
A.1.2 Sampling
A.1.2.1 Sampling Period
Depends on main frequency: 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz
Sampling period is calculated every second
■ Main frequency f = 50Hz
- Inside 42.5 to 57.5Hz (50Hz ±15%), sampling period is locked to main frequency.
128 samples are available for each main cycle.
- Outside 42.5 to 57.5Hz, sampling period is 128*50Hz.
■ Main frequency f = 60Hz
- Inside 51 to 69Hz (60Hz ±15%), sampling period is locked to main frequency.
128 samples are available for each main cycle.
- Outside 51 to 69Hz, sampling period is 128*60Hz.
86
1.800.561.8187

Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103
■ Main frequency f = 400Hz
- Inside 340 to 460Hz (400Hz ±15%), sampling period is locked to main frequency.
16 samples are available for each main cycle.
- Outside 340 to 460Hz, sampling period is 16*400Hz.
DC is not a frequency parameter for sampling. A pure DC measured signal is considered to be outside the frequency ranges. Then, the sampling frequency is, according to the preselected main frequency, 6.4kHz (50/400Hz) or 7.68kHz
(60Hz).
A.1.2.2 Locking of Sampling Frequency
■ By default, sampling frequency is locked on V1
■ If V1 is missing, sampling frequency tries to lock to V2, then V3, I1, I2 and I3
A.1.2.3 AC/DC
The PEL performs AC and DC measurements for alternative current and/or direct current distribution systems. Selection of AC or DC is done by the user.
AC +DC values are not available with PEL.
NOTE: AC+DC values could be calculated after download using the DataView
®
software.
A.1.2.4 Measurement of Neutral Current
For the PEL 102 and PEL 103, according to the distribution system, neutral current is calculated.
A.1.2.5 “1 second” Quantities
The instrument calculates the following quantities every second, according to § A.2.
“1 second” quantities are used for:
■ Real time values
■ “1 second” trends
■ Aggregation of values for “aggregated” trends (see § A.1.2.6)
■ Min and max determination for “aggregated” trends
All “1 second” quantities are saved on the SD-Card, during the recording time.
A.1.2.6 Aggregation
An aggregated quantity is a value calculated for a defined period, according to the formulas specified in Table 29.
Aggregation periods always start on rounded hours/minutes. Aggregation period is the same for all quantities. The period is one of the following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60mn.
All aggregated quantities are saved on the SD-Card, during the recording session. They can be displayed in the PEL Control Panel (see § 4.3).
A.1.2.7 Max
Max represents the maximum values of the “1 second” quantities for the considered aggregation period. They are saved with the date and time of the Max (see Table 28 for the available values).

A.1.2.8 Energy Calculations
Energies are calculated every second.
The “Total” energy is the demand during the recording session.
The “Partial” energy can be determined during an integration period with the following values: 1 h, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month.
The partial energy index is available only in real-time. It is not recorded.
However, the “Total” energy is available with the recording session data.
A.2 Measurement Formulas
PEL measures 128 samples per cycle (except 400 Hz with 16 samples) and calculates the voltage, current and active power quantities on a cycle.
PEL instruments measure or calculate the following quantities on a cycle (128 samples per cycle, except 400Hz with 16 samples). Then the PEL calculates an aggregated value for 10 cycles (50Hz), 12 cycles (60Hz) or 80 cycles (400Hz).
The 10/12 cycles quantities (50Hz) are aggregated for 50/60 cycles (“1 second” quantities).

Power & Energy Logger Model PEL 102 and PEL 103
A.5 Phase Order
Every second, the PEL determines the phase order. If the phase order is incorrect, the red Phase Order indicator on the
PEL front panel blinks (see § 2.11). In addition, on the PEL 103, the Phase Order Incorrect icon appears on the LCD
Display screen.
Setting the correct phase order for a distribution system requires that the current phase order, voltage phase order, and current vs voltage phase order for that distribution system are all correct. Note that:
■ Phase order for voltage channels only is displayed when voltages are displayed on the LCD screen. The voltage phase order is derived from the FFT analysis.
■ Phase order for current channels only is displayed when currents are displayed.
■ Phase order for voltage and current channels is displayed when the other screens are displayed.
■ Load or Source is set by the DataView PEL Control Panel.
In some distribution systems (such as DC) the phase order does not apply in every instance.
The following three tables show information for each distribution system for setting the correct current phase order, voltage phase order, and current vs voltage phase order respectively.
