Two ways to connect to your

Fieldpiece accessory heads

The DL3 is designed to connect to Fieldpiece

accessory heads by simply attaching them to the top

of the Data Logger (1). You can also choose to con-

nect your Fieldpiece head remotely through our

adapter handle, Fieldpiece part # AHDL1 (2). For

most heads, move dial to the

appropriate mVDC range (1).

For the AAC clamp (ACH4),

move dial to the appropriate

mVAC range (2). For 200mV to

2000mV, select the 2000mV

range on mVAC or mVDC.

Symbols used:

Caution, refer to manual.

Attach to Fieldpiece access. head

To use the DL3, you need a Fieldpiece accessory

head. Fieldpiece offers heads to measure many dif-

ferent parameters. Below are just a few of the options

you have, visit www.fieldpiece.com for all the current-

ly available accessory heads.

±Trigger

Select the Hi or Lo trigger by pressing the S or T

buttons, press ENTER to change the Hi or Lo trig-

gers. Use the W and X to change between digits and

the + and - sign, use the S and T to change the val-

ues for the digits. Press ENTER to lock in the

changes for the Hi or Lo trigger. The triggers will

remain in the memory until the meter is turned to the

OFF position. Once a trigger is set, avoid rotating the

dial through the OFF position so as not to clear the

trigger.

Record outside a band

To record outside a band set the Hi trigger above

the Lo trigger. For example, set the Hi trigger to 90.0

and the Lo trigger to 10.0. The DL3 will only record

readings that are higher than 90.0 or below 10.0.

For your safety...

Disconnect everything from meter before opening

the case. Work with others. Turn off power to the cir-

cuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or break-

ing the circuit. Do not apply more than rated voltage

between input and ground.

Maintenance

Clean the exterior with clean dry cloth. Do not use

liquid.

Battery replacement: When the multimeter dis-

plays " " the batteries must be replaced or read-

ings will be off and won’t save correctly, if at all. Data

in memory will be maintained while changing batter-

ies. Disconnect and unplug head, turn meter off, and

remove the battery cover. Replace the batteries with

1.5V AA batteries.

WARNINGS

DO NOT

CONNECT ANYTHING BUT A

FIELDPIECE ACCESSORY HEAD TO DATA

LOGGER. Connecting the DL3 to line voltage or

anything exceeding the 24V max may cause

irreparable damage to the meter and will void

the warranty.

NEVER CONNECT POWER LINE TO DATA

LOGGER.

DL3 Data Logger

The DL3 data logger records mV signals from any

Fieldpiece accessory head. It has an internal real

time clock. Program automatic recordings using

SPAN (the time over which measurements are made)

and PER (time period between measurements). The

new TRIGGER feature allows the DL3 to start and

stop recording points when the data is oustside of a

specified range thereby only recording the data that

is meaningful to you. Manually add single measure-

ments by pressing record. You can readout the data

from the LCD screen using MIN/MAX/AVG and arrow

buttons, or you can send the data to a personal com-

puter with a USB port to view as a spreadsheet.

Data sets

Create a new data set by changing the rotary dial

position outside of the measurement scale of the pre-

vious data set. Each data set has a MIN/MAX/AVG

and one PARAM (parameter) label.

Start button

Begins the programmed recording defined by

TIME, SPAN, PER, PARAM, TRIGGER and MULT.

Available only when an input range is selected

(200mVAC, 2000mVAC, 200mVDC, or 2000mVDC).

Stop button

Use to stop recording. Pressing Start resumes

recording in current data set. Only changing dial posi-

tion terminates data set.

Backlight

Press backlight button for the blue lighting of the

display. Will automatically turn off after approx. 60

sec.

Record button

Press to insert a single measurement to the cur-

rent data set. If you are in the middle of a pro-

grammed recording, the single measurements will be

entered into the data set according to the time it was

taken.

Clear button

Use to clear saved data. This function is only avail-

able when on READ/SEND range. Press CLEAR and

use W and X to select N(o) or Y(es). Press ENTER

to confirm choice.

Rotary dial functions

TIME

Use to set time of day. Press ENTER, select min-

utes, hours, days, month, and year with W and X.

Change value with S and T. Press ENTER when

finished.

SPAN

Use to set span of recording. Press ENTER, select

unit of time (Sec, Hr, Min, D) with W and X, and

adjust number with S and T. Press ENTER when

finished.

PER (Period)

Use to set time between readings. Adjusting Per is

identical to adjusting Span.

PARAM (Parameter)

Use to label readings. Press ENTER, select posi-

tion to change with W and X. Select character with S

and T. PARAM is the “Type” column in the .xls file.

MULT (Multiplier)

Use to set value to multiply data when uploading to

computer. Press ENTER, select multiplier or divisor

with S and T. Press ENTER when finished.

READ/SEND

Use to read saved data. Press the MIN/AVG/MAX

button to read minimum, average, value of current

data set. Use S and T to scroll through readings.

Use W and X to change display of data descriptor (#,

date, year). The DL3 has wrap scrolling, press up on

#1 takes you to the last date point saved. Hold down

the UP and DOWN arrow to scroll faster.

Also used to transfer saved data to a PC. Press

SEND to start transferring saved data through the

included USB cable connected to your PC.
