VOLTCRAFT Energie Logger 4000 F Instruction Manual

1. Introduktion

The VOLTCRAFT Energie Logger 4000 F is a sophisticated device designed to measure and record electricity consumption. It allows users to monitor power usage for up to six months on its internal memory. Data can be easily transferred to a computer via an SDHC card (not included) for detailed analysis and storage. This enables identification of high-consumption appliances and supports efficient energy-saving measures. The device provides highly accurate readings, even for standby consumption, starting from 0.1 Watt.

5.2 SDHC Card Insertion

For data logging and transfer, an SDHC card (not supplied) is required. Locate the SDHC card slot on the device and insert the card gently until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted in the correct orientation.

5.3 Første tilslutning

1. Plug the Energie Logger 4000 F into a standard wall socket.
2. Connect the appliance you wish to monitor into the socket on the Energie Logger.
3. The display will illuminate, showing initial readings.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1 Monitoring Energy Consumption

Once connected, the device automatically begins monitoring the power consumption of the attached appliance. The 3-line display provides real-time data.

6.2 Skærmtilstande

Tryk på MODE button to cycle through different display screens. These screens may include:

• Måling i realtid: Shows instantaneous values for voltage, strøm, strøm osv.
• Cumulative Measurement: Displays total energy consumed over time.
• Cost Forecast: Provides estimated monthly or yearly costs based on current consumption patterns.
• Min/Max Values: Shows the lowest and highest recorded values for various parameters.

6.3 Viewing historiske data

The device can display the consumption and daily expenses for the past 9 days directly on its screen. Use the arrow buttons to navigate through these historical records.

6.4 Determining Operating Time

The Energie Logger 4000 F also tracks and displays the total operating duration of the connected appliance.

6.5 Measuring Standby Consumption

With its high accuracy down to 0.1 Watt, the device is ideal for precisely measuring the low power consumption of appliances in standby mode.

7. Data Transfer and Analysis

The Energie Logger 4000 F stores consumption data for up to six months internally. To access this data for detailed analysis:

1. Ensure an SDHC card is inserted into the device.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts or refer to the device's menu to initiate data transfer to the SDHC card.
3. Safely remove the SDHC card from the Energie Logger.
4. Insert the SDHC card into a computer's card reader.
5. Use compatible software (often provided by VOLTCRAFT or available for download) to view, analyze, and store the collected data. This software typically allows for graphical representation and export of data.

8. Vedligeholdelse

8.1 Rengøring

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is unplugged before cleaning.

8.2 Opbevaring

Store the Energie Logger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, when not in use for extended periods.

8.3 Udskiftning af batteri

If the backup battery (CR1620) needs replacement, follow the instructions in Section 5.1. A depleted backup battery may result in loss of stored data during power interruptions.

9. Fejlfinding

• Ingen visning: Check if the device is properly plugged into a live power outlet.
• No Readings: Ensure the appliance is correctly connected to the logger and is powered on.
• Data Loss During Power Outage: Verify that the internal backup battery (CR1620) is correctly installed and has sufficient charge.
• SDHC Card Not Recognized: Ensure the SDHC card is inserted correctly and is formatted to a compatible file system (e.g., FAT32). Try a different SDHC card if issues persist.
• Upræcise læsninger: Ensure the device is used within its specified operating parameters.
