2. PRESENTATION OF THE INSTRUMENT
2.1. DESCRIPTION
PEL: Power & Energy Logger (power and energy logger)
The PEL 105 is a DC, single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase (wye and D) power and energy logger in a rugged sealed housing.
The PEL has all power/energy recording functions needed for most of the world's 50Hz, 60Hz, 400Hz, and DC distribution net-
works, with many connection possibilities to suit different installations. It is designed to operate in 1,000V CAT IV environments,
both indoors and out.
The PEL has a battery with which to continue to operate if there is a power outage. The battery is recharged during the measurements.
The instrument has the following functions:
Direct measurements of voltages up to 1,000V CAT IV.
Direct measurements of currents from 50mA to 10,000A with A196 current sensors.
Measurements of the neutral current on the 4th current terminal.
Measurements of the voltage between earth and neutral on the 5th voltage terminal.
Measurements of active power (W), reactive power (var), and apparent power (VA).
Measurements of the fundamental, unbalance, and harmonic active powers.
Measurement of current and voltage unbalances by the IEEE 1459 method.
Measurements of active energy at source and load (Wh), 4-quadrant reactive energy (varh), and apparent energy (VAh).
Power factor (PF), cos ϕand tan Φ.
Crest factor.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) of voltages and currents.
Voltage and current harmonics up to the 50th at 50/60Hz.
Frequency measurements.
Simultaneous RMS and DC measurements on each phase.
LCD display unit with blue backlighting (simultaneous display of 4 quantities).
Storage of measured and calculated values on SD or SDHC card.
Automatic recognition of the various types of current sensor.
Conguration of the transformation ratios for the current and voltage inputs.
Management of 17 types of connection or power distribution networks.
USB, LAN (Ethernet), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth communication.
PEL Transfer software for data recovery, conguration, and real-time communication with a PC.

3. CONFIGURATION
The PEL must be congured before any recording. The various steps in this conguration are:
Set up the Wi-Fi link, the Bluetooth link, the USB link, or the Ethernet link.
Choose the connection according to the type of distribution network.
Connect the current sensors.
Dene the nominal primary and secondary voltages if necessary.
 Dene the nominal primary current and the nominal primary current of the neutral if necessary.
Choose the aggregation period.
This conguration is done in the Conguration mode (see § 3.5) or using the PEL Transfer software (see § 5). To forestall accidental
modications, the PEL cannot be recongured while recording.
3.1. SWITCHING THE INSTRUMENT ON AND OFF
3.1.1. SWITCHING ON
Connect the PEL to an electrical network (at least 100 V
ac
or 140 V
dc
) and it is switched on automatically (if supply via the
voltage inputs has not been deactivated; see § 3.1.3). Otherwise, press the On / Off key for more than 2 seconds. The
green indicator below the On / Off key lights.
The battery automatically starts charging when the PEL is connected to a power or voltage source. The battery
life is approximately one hour when it is fully charged. This enables the instrument to continue to operate if
there is a brief power outage.
3.1.2. SWITCHING OFF
You cannot switch the PEL off while it is connected to a power source or while recording is in progress (or pending). This is a
precaution intended to forestall any involuntary stoppage of a recording session by the user.
When it is disconnected from the power source and recording is over, the PEL switches itself off automatically after 3, 10, or 15
minutes, depending on the setting chosen.
Otherwise, to switch the PEL off:
Disconnect all input terminals and the external power unit, if it is connected.
Press the On / Off key for more than 2 seconds, until all indicators light, then release it.
The PEL switches itself off and all indicators and the display unit go off.
3.1.3. DE-ACTIVATION OF SUPPLY BY THE VOLTAGE INPUTS
Supply by the voltage inputs consumes from 10 to 15W. Some voltage generators cannot withstand this load. This applies to volt-
age calibrators and to capacitive voltage dividers. If you want to make measurements on these devices, supply to the instrument
by the voltage inputs must be deactivated.
To deactivate supply to the instrument by the voltage inputs, press the Selection and On / Off keys simultaneously
for more than 2 seconds. The On / Off key blinks orange.
To supply the instrument and recharge the battery, it is necessary to use the mains power unit sold as an option (see § 1.2).

13
3.3. CONNECTION BY USB OR BY ETHERNET LAN LINK
The USB and Ethernet links can be used to congure the instrument using PEL Transfer software, to display the measurements,
and to upload records to the PC.
Withdraw the elastomer cap that protects the connector.
Connect the USB cable provided or an Ethernet cable (not provided) between the instrument and the PC.
Before connecting the USB cable, install the drivers supplied with the PEL Transfer software (See § 5).

charged.
Figure 6
3.2. BATTERY CHARGING
The battery is charged when the instrument is connected to a voltage source. But if supply by the voltage inputs has been deac-
tivated (see previous section), the mains power unit must be used (optional).

Then, whichever link was chosen, open the PEL Transfer software (see § 5) to connect the instrument to the PC.
Connecting the USB or Ethernet cable does not power up the instrument or charge the battery.
For the Ethernet LAN link, the PEL has an IP address.
When you congure the instrument with the PEL Transfer software, if the "Activate DHCP" (dynamic IP address) box is checked,
the instrument sends a request to the network's DHCP server to obtain an IP address automatically.
The Internet protocol used is UDP or TCP. The port used by default is 3041. It can be modied in PEL Transfer so as to enable
connections between the PC and several instruments behind a router.
The auto IP address mode is also available when the DHCP is selected and the DHPC server has not been detected within 60
seconds. The PEL will use 169.254.0.100 as default address. This auto IP address mode is compatible with APIPA.
A crossed cable may be necessary.
You can change the network parameters while connected via an Ethernet LAN link, but once the network
parameters have been changed, you will lose connection. It is better to use a USB connection for this.
3.4. CONNECTION BY WI-FI OR BY THE BLUETOOTH LINK
The Wi-Fi or Bluetooth link can be used to congure the instrument using the PEL Transfer software, to display the measurements,
and to upload records to the PC.
Press the Selection key and hold it down. The REC, and indicators light in turn for 3 seconds each.
Release the Selection key while the desired function is lit.
If you release it while the REC indicator is lit, recording starts or stops.
If you release it while the indicator is lit, the Wi-Fi is activated or deactivated.
If you release it while the indicator is lit, the Bluetooth link is activated or deactivated.
Figure 9
If your computer does not generate Bluetooth, use a USB-Bluetooth adapter. If you have no driver for this peripheral, Windows
installs one automatically.
The pairing procedure depends on your operating system, on the Bluetooth equipment, and on the driver.
If needed, the pairing code is 0000. This code cannot be modied in PEL Transfer.
3.5. CONFIGURING THE INSTRUMENT
It is possible to congure some main functions directly on the instrument. For a complete conguration, use the PEL Transfer
software (see § 5).
