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 1000V

 to ground or CAT 

IV 600V

 to ground. 

 

2.2 FUNCTIONS 

This manual is referred to two models: 

XL421

 and 

XL422

. XL421 can recording a 

single 

Current

 in single phase or three phase plant. XL422 can recording up to 

3 Currents

 

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 

XL421 – Autonomy (days) 

XL422 –  Autonomy (days) 

1s 5 

1.5 

6s 34 

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 
Measuring Interval.
