Packing List
Your package should include the following: eLogger (either with integrated connectors or with wire leads), Y cable for throttle
logging and battery backup, custom USB cable, and CD-ROM.
Steps to Follow
Installation and use of the eLogger should 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!
3.
Install and configure the Windows software as described in the Windows installation section below.
4.
IMPORTANT: Bench and range test your model as described in the “Using the eLogger” section below.
5.
Have fun!
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.
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.
Please refer to Figure 1 below. 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 and voltage during battery charging, it is ok to connect a charger to the ES connection, so that current is flowing “backwards”
through the eLogger. The eLogger will still measure current correctly in this mode!
