Tinytag Data Loggers

Tinytag View 2 Current Clamp Data Logger

Tinyview 2 Current Data Logger

The Tinytag View 2 TV-4810 is a specialised, single-channel AC current data logger designed to monitor electrical load variations, machine duty cycles, and facility energy utilisation patterns. Supplied complete with a matched, clip-on Chauvin Arnoux current clamp probe, this unit provides building managers and electrical contractors with a non-invasive tool to audit machinery runtime profiles. Featuring a bright, built-in digital display and an industrial-grade IP65 splashproof enclosure, the TV-4810 is ideal for temporary energy tracking in plant rooms, electrical cupboards, and distribution centres without cutting into live conductors.

Core Features & Technical Breakdown

  • Non-Invasive Clip-On Probe: The system includes a high-durability current clamp featuring a 20 mm jaw capacity. This allow technicians to safely clip the sensor around single-phase insulated conductors or neutral sub-lines on running equipment without breaking primary power circuits.
  • Real-Time Digital Display: The high-contrast LCD screen refreshes every 2 seconds to provide immediate visibility of live current demand in amps. It also displays clear icon indicators for battery level, active data sampling, and alarm breaches.
  • Massive Non-Volatile Memory Array: Stores up to 30,000 continuous readings. Because it records directly to stable non-volatile flash hardware, all historical current tracks remain fully secure and retrievable even if the internal battery runs flat mid-deployment.
  • Programmable 2-Alarm Thresholds: Features user-defined high and low alarm limits. If a machine overloads or a cooling pump drops into an idle current state, a visual alarm indicator triggers directly on the display panel to flag the issue to site inspectors.
  • Flexible Start & Offload Options: Supports a software-delayed start profile (up to 45 days out) or a manual magnetic switch trigger. Data can be rapidly offloaded via a standard CAB-0007-USB serial-to-USB link cable.

Core Technical Specifications

  • Current Range: 0.15A to 200A AC RMS (Handles momentary peaks up to 240A AC for 10 minutes maximum).
  • Reading Resolution: 10mA.
  • Logging Interval: User-programmable from 1 second up to 10 days.
  • Operating Temperatures: Logger base: -30°C to +70°C, Current clamp probe: -10°C -10°C to +55°C.
  • Power Supply: Long-life, user-replaceable internal lithium battery providing up to 2 years of continuous logging.

Applications

Clamped onto manufacturing equipment, compressors, or conveyor motors to analyse exact operational timelines, cycling intervals, and true production uptime.
Deployed inside ventilation and air-handling control frames to track active fan runtime versus idle energy draw, ensuring building systems sit within efficiency baselines.
Placed temporarily across separate sub-circuits or incoming panels to identify unbalanced phase loading across three-phase distribution architecture.
Provides the verifiable, tamper-proof operational logs required to prioritize energy reduction strategies and comply with corporate sustainability objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶ Q: What is the benefit of the 'View 2' over the 'Plus 2' model?
A: The View 2 features a built-in LCD screen, allowing you to see the current Amp reading instantly on-site without needing to download data to a PC first.
▶ Q: How do I start the logger at a specific time?
A: You can use the Tinytag Explorer software to set a 'Delayed Start' up to 45 days in advance, or use the optional ACS-6000 magnet for a manually trigger start in the field.
▶ Q: Can I clamp the probe around an entire extension cord or multi-core cable?
A: No. Like all current clamps, the sensor must be clipped around a single live or neutral core wire. If you clamp it around a standard multi-core cable, the magnetic fields from the live and neutral wires cancel each other out, resulting in a zero reading on the display.
▶ Q: Is the current clamp probe fully waterproof for outdoor mounting?
A: The main TV-4810 logger case is rated to IP65 splashproof standards for damp indoor environments and panel enclosures. However, the supplied Chauvin Arnoux current clamp probe is designed for dry, internal installations only and must not be exposed to direct rainwater or submersed.
▶ Q: Can I change the internal battery yourself, or does it require factory servicing?
A: The internal lithium battery can be completely replaced by the user. A standard service kit (including a fresh battery and replacement rubber seal) can be purchased when the battery depletion icon signals on the screen.
▶ Q: Can this logger track transient voltage spikes or harmonic distortion?
A: No. The TV-4810 is an RMS current logger built to profile continuous load trends and equipment running profiles over user-set intervals. For high-speed wave harmonics or active power factor calculations, you should utilize the Tinytag Energy Logger series instead.

ACS-6000

ACS-6000

Trigger Start Magnet for various Tinytag data loggers. The magnet is ideal for delayed triggering of Tinytag loggers that have been set up for a trigger start. The magnet is merely passed over the correct location on the logger and the lights will start to flash showing that logging procedure has been started. The position of the unit's trigger start switch is indicated by the • • • label on the back of the logger.
