Key Features 

 
Here are a few of the features of the eLogger: 
 

 

Logs pack current to +/- 100 amps (150 amps with MPRV3-LEADS-150) and voltage from about 5 volts to 70 
volts  

 

Current is measured with a true Hall Effects Sensor - NOT a resistance shunt like other units on the market!  

 

Great for bench monitoring of battery charging also!  

 

Supports the PowerPanel LCD Display 

 

Accepts optional inexpensive sensors for  three Temperatures,  RPM (brushless, magnetic or optical), Airspeed, 
Altitude, GPS, Servo Current, Throttle Movement, and more 

 

Adjustable logging rate (1-10 samples/second) and lossless data compression for long log times 

 

4 times the logging space of the eLogger V2, and all data is logged to permanent memory, which retains the data 
even when the power is removed 

 

Software computes Wattage, mAH, etc. for complete e-flight data.  

 

Fully Compatible with Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), Vista, 98SE, ME, Win2K and XP™ 

 

Weighs about 0.7 oz (20 grams). Versions with Wire Leads weighs slightly more. 

 

Comes with our state of the art Windows virtual playback display and graphing  

 

Powerful Graphing software has advanced charting features, such as amps vs volts 

 

Internet Updatable firmware - as we add new features or (heaven forbid) have a firmware bug, the update is just a 
download away! No need to ship hardware back and forth. 

 

Full support for English and Metric units 

 

Intended Uses 

The eLogger was designed for use in Unmanned Radio Controlled models.   It is intended to be used exclusively in model planes, 
boats and cars.   Using the eLogger for other purposes is not supported.    Further, using the eLogger in situations where its use or 
failure could result in loss of life, bodily injury or property damage is expressly prohibited. 

 

Packing List 

Your package should include the following:  eLogger (either with integrated connectors or with wire leads), Custom USB Cable, and 
CD-ROM. 
 

Steps to Follow 

Installation and use of the eLogger will be quite easy and enjoyable if you follow these few steps: 

 

1.

 

Read through the manual to understand the important warnings, determine what parameters you want to log, etc.   

2.

 

Install the eLogger in your model, as described in the eLogger Installation section below.   Pay special attention to the 
polarity and plug-in location of the sensors, since some of the plugs will fit in more than one location!
