Weidmüller Varitector Logger 30 surge logger

The Varitector Logger 30 is designed to register and document large current pulses as well as the frequency and time of incidents. It counts current pulses greater than a set threshold value which are discharged by PE conductors on surge protection devices. Any lightning strikes and surge voltages are continuously recorded. Each measurement is issued with a timestamp accurate to the hour and both the time and date of their occurrence are recorded.

The logger 30 features an external sensor with a ferrite toroid. Clipped to the earth cable, it detects current peaks on the PE conductor which can be caused by events such as a lightning strike.

The date and time documentation allows the user to historically document incidents to help determine the cause of the surge. A large and clear, two-line LCD provides easy visualisation of current/incident data. The buttons on the device allow the menus to be navigated effortlessly.

The Varitector Logger 30 also features a standard internal CR123A replaceable 3 V battery with at least a four-year service life. This allows the device to be conveniently connected to the mains at all times.

Complementary to Type-II and Type-III VPU surge protection devices, the Varitector Logger 30 can be quickly and simply installed on the terminal rails in almost every switch cabinet via its plug-and-play housing.

The device has an operating temperature range between -20 and +60°C. It also has a V-0 flammability rating in accordance with UL94 and meets EN62561-6 and VDE 0185-561-6 standards.
