Affordable and portable data logging is here

Elcomponent don't just sell energy data loggers, they design them manufacture them and use them themselves, and have been doing so for over twenty years! The products are designed for the real world where ease-of-use, reliability and accuracy are the watchwords. The SPCMini and its dedicated PC software package 'PowerPackPro' combine new technology and years of experience into an unbeatable low-cost package.

The SPCMini has all the features you'd expect in a 21st century design. It has a large clear display, a massive 'Flash' memory - enough for 1 minute logging for over a month - and of course, it's completely secure. Setup and data download is via a simple USB connection, for fast and reliable communication with any Windows PC.

The SPCMini is also extremely versatile and will provide accurate results on loads as small as 2 amps, right up to a maximum of 500 amps. It’s designed for single phase and balanced 3 phase loads (such as motors) and the logging interval is fully adjustable from 1 second (for maximum accuracy and resolution on surveys of up to 36 hours) to 1 minute, which gives a survey length of almost 3 months if the SPC Download Module is used. Standard battery life is at least 4 weeks so extended stand-alone surveys are readily achieved.

The ‘PowerPackPro’ software package, has been developed specifically for the SPC family of data loggers and download modules, and has won many plaudits for its ease-of-use and helpful, task-oriented approach. It’s outstandingly user-friendly and it’s compatible with all Windows platforms from XP onwards. [click here for more information]
