2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer, the instrument you have just purchased will grant you accurate and
reliable measurements provided that it is used according to the present manual’s
instructions.
The instrument was designed to grant the user the utmost safety conditions thanks to a
new concept assuring double insulation and overvoltage CAT III 600V~ between inputs
and to ground.
2.2 FUNCTIONS
This manual is referred to two models: XL423 and XL423. XL423 can recording a single
voltage in single phase or three phase plant. XL424 can recording up to 3 voltages
simultaneously in single phase or three phase plant.
Where not expressly indicated the characteristics are common for both models.
The meter can monitoring a plant for a long time thanks to a sophisticated memory-
managing algorithm. More exactly, the instrument uses the following sampling periods:
Measuring Interval XL423 – Autonomy (days) XL424 – Autonomy (days)
1s 5 1.5
6s 34 8
30s 170 42
1min 364 (*) 91
5min 1820 (*) 455 (*)
(*) Depending on batteries autonomy
The instrument starts each recording using the Measuring Interval set through PC
DATALINK software (see chapter 8). Just before the event of full memory, the instrument
applies the successive measuring Interval to all the memory, thus getting more free
memory locations. The instrument continues the data storing according to the new
sampling period.
