For multiple-phase measurements, start by marking the accessories and terminals with the colour-coded ID markers supplied
with the device; a different colour for each terminal.

Connect the measuring leads to your PEL as follows:


„„ Current measurement: I1, I2, I3 4-pins terminals
„„ 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 current and voltage transformer ratios when necessary.

2.5. INSTALLATION OF THE COLOUR-CODED MARKERS

Refer to the current sensors safety sheets before connecting them.


Twelve sets of colour-coded rings and inserts are supplied with your PEL instrument. Use theme ID markers to identify the leads
and input terminals.
„„ Detach the appropriate inserts and place them in the holes under the terminals (larger inserts for current terminals, smaller
inserts for voltage terminals).
„„ Clip rings of the same colour 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 32GB in size. Transferring so much data makes heavy demands on a computer
and requires a long download time (depending on the performance of the PC and the type of connection used). Furthermore, some
computers may have problems handling such a large amount of data and spreadsheets accept only a limited amount of data.

We recommend optimizing the data on the SD card and recording only what is needed. For reference purposes, a 5-day recording,
with a 15 minute aggregation interval, recording 1-second data and harmonics on a 4-wire 3-phase network, would consume
approximately 530MB of storage space. If the harmonics are not needed and their recording is disabled, the space requirement
is reduced to about 87MB.

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 using Bluetooth to download large sessions as it will take a very long time. If a Bluetooth download is required,
consider not downloading the 1-second trends and harmonics. Without them, a 30 day recording would be reduced to just 2.5 MB.

By contrast, downloading via USB or Ethernet may be acceptable depending on the session size and network speed. For faster
downloads, we recommend putting the SD card into your PC directly or the external card reader.

3. OPERATION

Important: PEL configuration can be performed either through the PEL or either through the PEL Transfer
software. Please refer to § 4.3 for setup instructions.

Operating the PEL is a simple process:


„„ The PEL must be programmed before any recording. This is done through Set-up (see §3.5.6) or the PEL Transfer (see § 4.3).
To prevent inadvertent changes to settings, the PEL cannot be programmed while recording.
„„ The PEL is then connected to a power supply and will turn on automatically (see § 3.1.1).
„„ R ecording is started by pressing the Control button (see § 3.2).
„„ The PEL is turned OFF, after a specified time, when disconnected from the power supply (and when the recording session is
completed - see § 3.1.2).

3.1. TURNING THE INSTRUMENT ON/OFF


3.1.1. TURNING ON

„„ Connect the PEL to a power outlet with the AC power cord and the PEL will turn ON automatically. If not, press the ON/OFF
button for more than 2 seconds.
„„ The green LED under the ON/OFF button turns ON when the PEL is connected to a live supply source.

Note: The battery automatically begins recharging when the PEL is connected to a live power outlet. Battery
life is approximately 1/2 hour when the battery is fully charged, enough to cover brief power outages.

3.1.2. TURNING THE PEL OFF


You cannot turn the PEL OFF if it is connected to a power source or if a recording is in progress (or pending).

Note: This is 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 cord from the power 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.

3.2. 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 more than 2 seconds and release it.
„„ The green REC LED (see #1 Figure 11) lights up for 3 s, followed by the blue Bluetooth LED (see #2 Figure 11) for 3 s - one
after another. During the time each LED is lit you can control its associated function as described below.
„„ Releasing the Control button during (and only during) the 3 s 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)

14
„„ BLUETOOTH LED (ON/OFF)
- A release while LED is lit turns Bluetooth ON (if Bluetooth is OFF)
- A release while LED is lit turns Bluetooth OFF (if Bluetooth is ON)

3.3.1. POWER SUPPLY


The PEL is powered by standard AC power through an external cord with a non-polarized C7 connector. This power cord is available
in many computer stores (250 V, 2.5 A, 1 m length). When replacing it, be sure to buy the non-polarized cord. Replacement power
cords are also available from the factory.

The PEL can be supplied at 110 V to 250 V (±10%), 50/60 Hz, to accommodate supply voltages across the world.

Note: Never use power cords with inadequate rating.


„„ When connected to 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.
„„ If the instrument is suddenly not powered by AC power (power supply OFF or disconnected), the instrument will run on battery
power for approximately ½ hour.
„„ The PEL has a built-in Auto Power OFF. It can be set to 3 to 15 min or disabled.
„„ When the battery is too low (the red LED blinks twice per second), the instrument will eventually turn OFF. The PEL will
start up again when AC power is turned back on.
„„ When the instrument is not connected to AC power, it can be turned ON with the ON/OFF button (see § 3.1).
„„ When the instrument is not connected to AC power and no recording is pending or in progress, it can be turned OFF with the
ON/OFF button (see § 3.1).

15
3.3.2. STANDBY MODE (AND DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS)
When the instrument is ON and there is no activity for a specified time period, the LCD display (PEL103) automatically goes into
Standby mode.
The measurements and recording stay active, but the backlighting is dimmed to a standby level.
To restore the normal display unit brightness, press the Enter or Navigation button.
Note that the overall display brightness is also programmed via the PEL Transfer (see § 4.3.1).

3.3.3. MEMORY CARD (SD-CARD)


The PEL 102/103 use an SD card for memory. FAT32-formatted SD-Cards SD-Cards (up to 32 GB) and SDHC-Cards (from 4 GB
to 32 GB) are supported.

The PEL is delivered with a formatted SD card in the instrument. If you want to install a new SD card:
„„ First, format the SD card.
„„ The SD card can be formatted via PEL Transfer when connected to the instrument and if no recording is pending or in progress.
„„ Formatting is possible without restriction when the SD card is plugged directly into a PC.
„„ To allow recordings or formatting, the SD-Card must be unlocked.
„„ Hot extraction from the PEL is possible when no recording is in progress.

PEL files use short names (8 characters), for example Ses00004.

3.3.4. USB CONNECTION TO THE PEL


The PEL102/103 is designed to be connected to a computer by a USB type A/B cable, used to configure the PEL, prepare a
recording session (real-time connection) and download recorded sessions.

Note: Connecting the USB between the PC and the PEL does not power the logger or recharge the batteries.

3.3.5. BLUETOOTH CONNECTION TO THE PEL


The PEL102/103 are designed for a Bluetooth wireless connection to a computer. The Bluetooth connection can be used to
configure the PEL, to prepare a recording session and to download recorded sessions.
For computers without a Bluetooth capability, use a Bluetooth/USB adapter and connected to an available USB port on your
computer. The default Windows driver should automatically install the device.
The pairing procedure varies depending on your operating system, Bluetooth equipment and driver software.
If needed, the default pairing code is 0000. The pairing code can not be modified through the PEL Transfer.

3.3.6. ETHERNET LAN CONNECTION TO THE PEL


A LAN connection can be used to view real-time data and instrument status, configure the PEL, set up a recording session, and
download recorded sessions.

IP address:
The PEL has an IP address. When the PEL is configured with the PEL Transfer, if the “Enable DHCP” (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) checkbox is checked, the instrument sends a request to the network DHCP server to automatically obtain an IP address.
The Internet Protocol used is UDP. The default port is 3041. It can be modified with the PEL Transfer to let the PC connect to
several PEL instruments behind a router.

An auto-IP mode is also available when DHCP is selected and no DHCP server is detected within 60 s. PEL will use default address
169.254.0.100. This auto-IP mode is compatible with APIPA. A cross over cable may be needed.

Note that you cannot modify the LAN parameters while connected over a LAN link. You must use the USB
connection to modify them.

3.4. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND PEL HOOK-UPS
This chapter describes how the current sensors and voltage test leads must be connected to your installation according to its
distribution system. The PEL must also be configured (see § 4.3.3) for the selected distribution system.

3.5.2. ENERGY - VALUES DISPLAYED
The PEL measures the typical energy readings used. In addition, it can be used for advanced measurements by 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 specific quadrants are often used by engineers addressing power flow issues.

Definitions:
„„ Ep+: Total Active Energy Imported (used by load) in kWh
„„ Ep-: Total Active Energy Exported (to source) in kWh
„„ Eq1: Active Energy Imported (by load) in Inductive Quadrant (Quadrant 1) in kvarh.
„„ Eq2: Active Energy Exported (to source) in Capacitive Quadrant (Quadrant 2) in kvarh.
„„ Eq3: Active Energy Exported (to source) in Inductive Quadrant (Quadrant 3) in kvarh.
„„ Eq4: Active Energy Imported (by load) in Capacitive Quadrant (Quadrant 4) in kvarh.
„„ Es+: Total Apparent Energy Imported (by load) in kVAh
„„ Es-: 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 by utilities.
„„ kWh: Ep+ which is the Active Energy of the load
„„ kvarh: Eq1 which is the Reactive Energy of the load
„„ kVAh: Es+ which is the Apparent Energy of the load

The Energy measurements, which are time-dependent (typically 10- or 15- minute integration or aggregation periods), are displayed
sequentially in screens showing all phases. Table 6 shows the readings for each type of network.

Use the down arrow  to scroll down and the up arrow  to scroll up through the displays.
The following examples show the display sequence for a 3-Phase 4-Wire network.
Each display is reached by pressing the down arrow .

„„ In the Address field, enter the IP address assigned to the PEL.


„„ For PEL103, select the information screen (on the instrument) and scroll down to the IP Addr display (see § 3.5.5).
„„ For PEL102, a USB or Bluetooth connection should be used to determine the IP address assigned to the instrument
(see § 4.3.2).
„„ By default the PEL uses port 3041 (UDP). However, the PEL can be configured to use a different port.
The only way to identify the port the PEL is using is to first communicate with it. So, if the port has been changed from that
of the default, use a USB or Bluetooth connection to identify the port used by the PEL (see § 4.3.2).

Note: If you do not know the IP address and the PEL is on the same sub-network as the computer, enter the
IP address of the sub-network (for example 192.168.0.1) and use the Search button (located to the right of
the Address field). The search operation, if successful, identifies the IP address for the port specified by each
PEL connected to the sub-network.

„„ Once the IP address and port have been specified, click on the Next button.
„„ If a successful connection is established, the Finish button is enabled. Click on Finish to exit the Wizard.
„„ The instrument is then be added to the PEL Network list until it is removed (refer to § 4.2.1).

4.2.3. BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

Note: The Bluetooth radio devices of the PC and of the PEL must be enabled and turned on before a Blue-
tooth connection can be established.

In the Bluetooth connection dialog box, the PEL will be listed either by name or by communication port number.
If the PEL Transfer can identify the PEL by name it will be listed in the drop-down list by name.

If not, you must select the communications port with which the PEL Bluetooth connection is associated. You can identify the
associated communications port by opening the Bluetooth Devices dialog box, double clicking on the PEL entry (the PEL
properties dialog box opens), then selecting the Services tab. The communications port number associated with the PEL Bluetooth
connection will be listed here.

When using a Bluetooth connection, make sure the Bluetooth option button in the computer is activated and that the PEL has
been paired with the computer. The PEL is paired to the computer using the Add a device option in the Bluetooth Devices dialog
box. This dialog box can be displayed by double clicking on the Bluetooth icon next to the clock in the taskbar.

If the PEL is not listed in the Instrument drop-down list by name or by its associated communications port, make sure that the
PEL is powered up, that the Bluetooth radio in the PEL is on, and that it is listed in the Bluetooth Devices dialog box. Also make
sure that the Bluetooth has been activated in the PEL. The display and other Bluetooth options can be determined and set for
the first time using a USB connection.

The common mode rejection ratio on neutral input is 140 dB typical.
For example, 110 V applied on the neutral input will add 11 μV on AmpFLEX®/MiniFLEX® values which is a 230 mA error at 60
Hz. 110 V applied on the neutral input will add 11 μV on other current sensors values which is a 0,01% Inom additional error.

For current inputs to which MiniFLEX® or AmpFLEX® flexible current sensors are connected: 10 mA/A/m typically at 50/60 Hz.

5.2.4. CURRENT SENSORS


5.2.4.1. Precautions for use

Note: Refer to the safety sheet or user’s manual that was supplied with your current sensors.

Current clamps and flexible current sensors are used to measure the current flowing in a cable without opening the circuit. They
also insulate the user from dangerous voltages in the circuit.

The choice of current sensor to be used depends on the current to be measured and the diameter of the cables.
When installing current sensors, have the arrow on the probe or sensor point towards the load.

5.2.4.2. Specifications
The measurement ranges are those of the sensors. In some cases, they may differ from the ranges that can be measured by the
PEL. Refer to the users manual distributed with the current sensor.

a) MiniFLEX® MA193
The MiniFLEX® MA193 Flexible Current Sensor 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.
If you have several sensors, you can mark each of them before connecting it using one of the color-coded rings supplied with
the instrument to identify the phase. Then connect the sensor to the instrument.

„„ Press the yellow opening device to open the sensor. Then, place it around the conductor through which the current to be
measured flows (only one conductor per sensor).


„„ Close the sensor. In order to optimize measurement quality, it is best to center the conductor in the sensor and make the
shape of the sensor as circular as possible.
„„ To disconnect the sensor, open it and withdraw it from the conductor. Then disconnect the sensor from the instrument.

6. MAINTENANCE

The instrument contains no parts that can be replaced by personnel who have not been specially trained and
accredited. Any unauthorized repair or replacement of a part by an “equivalent” may gravely impair safety.

6.1. BATTERY
Your instrument is equipped with an NiMH battery. This technology offers several advantages:
„„ Long battery charge life for a limited volume and weight.
„„ 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 be unable to 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 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F).
„„ Comply with the conditions of use.
„„ Comply with the storage conditions.

6.2. BATTERY INDICATOR


The Yellow/Red LED (#6 - see Table 4) indicates the status of the battery.
When power is on, the battery is charged until it is full.
„„ LED OFF: Battery full (with or without power supply)
„„ Yellow LED ON/Not blinking: Battery is charging
„„ Yellow LED blinks twice per second: Battery is being recharged 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 or forced air. Do not use
alcohol, solvents, or hydrocarbons.

Do not use the instrument if the terminals or keyboard are wet. Dry it first.

For the current sensors:


„„ Make sure that no foreign body interferes with the operation of the snap device of the sensor.
„„ Keep the clamp jaws as clean as possible. Do not splash water directly on the clamp

Figure 56

Diagram in accordance with clauses 12 and 14 of IEC 60375.


The reference of this diagram is the current vector (fixed on the right-hand part of the axis).
The voltage vector V changes its direction according to phase angle ϕ.
The phase angle ϕ between voltage V and current I is taken to be positive in the the counterclockwise sense.

9.1.2. SAMPLING
9.1.2.1. Sampling Period
Depends on mains frequency: 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz.
The sampling period is calculated every second.
„„ Mains frequency f = 50 Hz
„„ From 42.5 to 57.5 Hz (50 Hz ±15%), the sampling period is locked to the mains frequency. 128 samples are available
for each mains cycle.
„„ Outside the range 42.5 to 57.5 Hz, the sampling period is 128*50 Hz.

„„ Mains frequency f = 60 Hz
„„ From 51 to 69 Hz (60 Hz ±15%), the sampling period is locked to the mains frequency. 128 samples are available for
each mains cycle.
„„ Outside the range 51 to 69 Hz, the sampling period is 128*60 Hz.

„„ Mains frequency f = 400 Hz


„„ From 340 to 460 Hz (400 Hz ±15%), the sampling period is locked to the mains frequency. 16 samples are available for
each mains cycle.
„„ Outside the range 340 to 460 Hz, the sampling period is 16*400 Hz.

A pure DC measured signal is considered to be outside the frequency ranges. The sampling frequency is then, according to the
preselected mains frequency, 6.4 kHz (50/400 Hz) or 7.68 kHz (60 Hz).

9.1.2.2. Locking of Sampling Frequency

„„ By default, the sampling frequency is locked to V1


„„ If V1 is missing, the sampling frequency attempts to lock to V2, then V3, I1, I2 and I3

70
9.1.2.3. AC/DC
The PEL makes AC and DC measurements for alternating current and direct current distribution systems. Selection of AC or DC
is by the user.

AC +DC values are not available with PEL.

9.1.2.4. Measurement of Neutral Current


The PEL102 and PEL103 calculate the neutral current according to the distribution system.

9.1.2.5. “1-second” Quantities


The instrument calculates the following quantities every second, according to § 9.2.

“1-second” quantities are used for:


„„ Real-time values
„„ “1-second” trends
„„ Aggregation of values for “aggregated” trends (see § 9.1.2.6)
„„ Min and max determination for “aggregated” trends

All “1 second” quantities are saved on the SD-Card during the recording time.

9.1.2.6. Aggregation
An aggregated quantity is a value calculated for a defined period, according to the formulas specified in Table 30.

Aggregation periods always start on rounded hours/minutes. The 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 Transfer (see
§ 4.4).

9.1.2.7. Min and Max


Min and Max are the minimum and maximum values of the “1-second” quantities for the considered aggregation period in question.
They are saved with the date and time of the Min and Max (see Table 30 for the available values). The Max aggregated values of
some quantities are displayed directly.

9.1.2.8. 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.

71
9.2. MEASUREMENT FORMULAS
PEL measures 128 samples per cycle (16 at 400 Hz) and calculates the voltage, current and active power quantities over one cycle.

PEL instruments calculate the aggregated value for 50 cycles (50 Hz), 66 cycles (60 Hz) or 400 cycles (400 Hz). (“1 second” quantities).
