Software Installation
Note: The data logger is still running off its internal batteries when
plugged into the computer. Be sure there is sufcient battery power
before plugging the data logger into a computer or data may be lost
or corrupted.
Install the included software by placing the supplied program disc in the
PC's CD-ROM drive. If the installation program does not automatically
start, open and browse the CD-ROM drive from your computer. Double
click on the CV2 Datalogger le and follow the on-screen prompts to
install the software.
If your computer does not have a CD drive please visit
www.reedinstruments.com/software to download the latest R5003 software.
Note: The Windows Installer package should be used to properly install
the software as it automatically installs the required drivers. It is
recommended to restart your computer after installation before using
the software for the rst time.

available USB port on your PC with the included USB cable and
power on the meter.
2. Double click the SOFTWARE icon on your desktop and the program
will load.
3. Set up the data logger for a new session (see Software Operating
Guide for details).
4. When setup is complete, the R5003 should be removed from the
USB port in order to preserve battery life.
5. Connect the voltage test leads or the current probes to the AC
source, or clamp the jaws around a single conductor for AC current
measurements from 10 to 200A.
6. Press and hold the START/STOP button for four seconds to start
recording. The REC icon will appear in the display indicating that
recording has begun.
7. Press and hold the START/STOP button for four seconds to stop
recording. The REC icon will disappear from the display.
Note: Recording cannot be paused or restarted until the previous data is
downloaded to the software and a new session is set up. Furthermore,
recording will automatically stop when the memory is full. When
continuous recording is selected (via the software), newer data will
overwrite the oldest data when the memory is full.
8. When testing is complete, remove the sensors or probes, connect
the data logger to a PC and use the supplied software to download
the data.
MAX/MIN
Press the MAX/MIN button to display the Maximum and Minimum AC
current or Voltage values recorded during the measurement process.
