What does it do?
The AEMC L562 is a compact, dual-channel data logger designed to record both AC voltage (up to 600V) and current using an external current probe. With 64,000 points of memory and easy USB download, it's ideal for load studies, troubleshooting, and energy audits.
Who is it for?
Perfect for electricians, facility managers, and energy consultants who need to monitor power usage or investigate circuit behavior over time—without complex setup or bulky equipment.
Two input channel logger capable of recording True RMS current (compatible with AC current probes with voltage outputs) and True RMS voltage to 600V. Stores up to 240,000 measurements.
The AEMC L562 Simple Logger II is a two channel Volt/Amp data logger. The Extended Recording Mode (XRM) and delayed start time are just two of the many application friendly features.
The Simple Logger® II records TRMS at a rate of up to eight times per second. The measurement process is performed no more than eight times per second. TRMS calculations are performed on a single line cycle. This means that the input(s) are ignored between measurement intervals.
The main advantage of the logger is its ability to perform a variety of recording tasks with easy and intuitive setup from a computer using DataView® software.
Analog information on the input is sampled and converted to a digital signal. This digital signal is processed and stored along with scale and time information. An optically isolated Universal Serial Bus (USB) port provides for the transfer of data from the instruments internal memory to the computer for analysis.
Probes are not included and must be purchased separately:
