Installation of the eLogger
IMPORTANT: Never let the sensor/USB prongs of the eLogger touch bare battery pack leads, exposed parts of your
ESC/BEC, or the motor casing!! Doing so could destroy the eLogger since these items may have high voltage present from
your battery pack, and void the warranty.
The below instructions and diagram guide you through the installation of the eLogger.
Connecting the eLogger to Your Model’s Power System
WARNING: High Voltages can cause electric shock. Be extremely careful when working
with high voltage packs! Work with high voltages at your own risk.
The eLogger is normally connected so that the connectors or leads marked “Batt” are connected to your battery pack, and the
connectors or leads marked “ESC” are connected to your ESC’s power input. The
red
wires of the “wire lead” version of the
eLogger must be connected to the
positive
side of the load and source (normally the red wires). For measuring current/voltage
battery charging, it is ok to reverse the Batt and ESC connections, so that current is flowing “backwards” through the eLogger. The
eLogger will still measure current correctly in this mode!
IMPORTANT: Do not leave your model’s power system connected to the eLogger when the unit is not in use in the field.
Always disconnect the battery from your model when it is in storage.
IMPORTANT: With the Integrated Connector version of the eLogger, always ensure that the wiper prongs of all plugs are
not bent or damaged before connecting! A bent or damaged wiper prong could potentially collapse or fold over during
connection, and contact the other terminal of the connection, causing a short, or could result in an unreliable connection.
IMPORTANT: When first using your Connector version eLogger, make sure that the mating connectors you are using are
making good contact. One way to do this is to gently manipulate the connectors after they are all plugged in, to make sure
there are no loose connections.
