EL-USB-4 4-20mA Current Loop Data Logger

Product catalog summary
Overview: The EL-USB-4 is a stand-alone data logger designed to measure and store over 32,000 readings of current loop data within a 4-20mA d.c. range. It features a resolution of 0.05mA d.c. and is equipped with a lithium metal battery providing a three-year logging life. The device includes a 4-20mA cap with screw terminals and crocodile clip leads for easy connection.
Key Features:
  • Measurement range: 4-20mA d.c.
  • Internal resolution: 0.05mA d.c.
  • Accuracy: ±1%
  • Input impedance: 110 Ohms
  • Logging rate: User-selectable between 1 second and 12 hours
  • Operating temperature: -35 to +80°C (-31 to +176°F)
  • Battery life: 3 years at 25°C with a 2-second logging rate
  • Dimensions: 98 x 26.8 x 26.8 mm
Software: The EasyLog software, available for free download, is compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit). It allows users to set up the logger, download data, and export it in various formats such as Excel, PDF, and JPEG. Key configurable parameters include logger name, logging rate, and alarm thresholds.
LED Status Indication: The device uses green and red LEDs to indicate logging and alarm status. Various flashing patterns indicate different statuses, such as logging activity, battery status, and alarm conditions.
Connection & Applications: The data logger can be connected to current source sensors, current loop transmitters, and current sink sensors, making it versatile for various applications.
Battery Information: It is recommended to replace the battery annually or before logging critical data. The logger retains stored readings even when the battery is discharged or replaced, but logging will stop until the battery is replaced and the device is restarted using the EasyLog software. Lithium metal batteries may form a non-conductive layer if unused for long periods, which can be resolved by connecting the logger to a PC for 30 seconds.
Warnings: Handle lithium metal batteries with care and dispose of them according to local regulations.

EL-USB-4 4-20mA Current Loop Data Logger-2

4-20mA Current Loop Data Logger LED STATUS INDICATION The EL-USB-4 features two LEDs: a green/red LED to indicate logging and alarm status. In normal operation the green LED will flash, but will change to red if an alarm condition has been triggered. Using EasyLog software it is possible to set the alarm to remain active even if the reading has returned to normal, in which case the alarm LED will continue to flash red. This ‘Hold’ feature in the software ensures the user is notified that at some point an alarm level has been exceeded, without needing to download the data. Green single flash (Every...

EL-USB-4 4-20mA Current Loop Data Logger-3

4-20mA Current Loop Data Logger BATTERY INFORMATION Replacement We recommend that you replace the battery annually, or prior to logging critical data. Only use 3.6V ½AA lithium metal batteries. The data logger does not lose its stored readings when the battery is discharged or replaced; however, the data logging process will stop and will not resume until the battery is replaced and the logger restarted by EasyLog software. Before replacing the battery, remove the data logger from the PC. Please note that leaving the data logger plugged into the USB port for extended periods will cause some of...
