The contents of the Current Monitoring Kit
The Pico Current Monitoring Kit contains everything that you need to start data logging currents from up to 3 separate circuits. It is ideal for measuring and balancing 3-phase supplies as well as machine monitoring and energy efficiency studies.
The Current Monitoring Kit offers a cost saving over buying all of the products separately. The kit includes the following:
- EL040 power monitor
- EL005 logger
- 3 * TA011 AC current clamps
- Power Supply
- EL003 network cable
- PC software, cables and manual

Current monitoring applications
Current monitoring enables the current consumed around the home as well as in industry to be analysed. Monitoring supply currents can highlight areas of excessive current consumption and once the problem has been identified ideas can be implemented to reduce this excess. This will help reduce bills, increasing profits and in turn help the environment.
As machinery gets older the current consumed will often increase as parts become worn and the machine becomes inefficient. Data collected from separate machines over long periods of time can highlight problems before they become critical. Servicing or replacement can then be scheduled before the machine fails, which saves any loss in production.
Alarms can be set to warn of higher or lower than normal current consumption of machinery. This can be used to highlight problems, which if sustained may incur expensive servicing costs.
EnviroMon software
The EnviroMon software downloads data from the logger via a serial cable. By connecting the Logger to a modem, using the EL033, remote downloading of the data can be done — removing the need to visit the site to download any required data.
Once the data is downloaded EnviroMon can be used to view the data in one of two ways: either as a spreadsheet or as a graph. The data can then be exported to other software applications to be included in reports or for further analysis.
