Steca PA Tarcom
Data Logger
Steca’s data logger PA Tarcom is connected to the RJ45
data loop of the Tarom or Power Tarom charge controller
or via the PA HS200 shunt. It is available in different ver-
sions as a simple RS232 serial interface (PA Tarcom 01) to
log and read out data directly to a PC or laptop, as a data
logger connected with integrated analogue modem (PA
Tarcom RM), as a data logger with an optional telephone
link for phone calls (PA Tarcom RMT) and as a datalogger
with a built-in GSM modem for remote monitoring (PA
Tarcom GSM). The PA Tarcom data logger is shipped with
software.

Accessories
Steca PA HS200
Shunt
All currents which run through the Tarom and Power Ta-
rom charge controllers are measured for an accurate cal-
culation of the battery’s state of charge. However there
are currents which the charge controllers do not measure
like inverters which are connected directly to the battery
or back up generators which feed their energy directly
into the battery. The PA HS200 shunt measures these cur-
rents through the “hall” effect and transmits them digi-
tally to the Tarom controllers.
Features
Works on 12 V, 24 V and 48 V voltage level
Pp to 200 A measurement capacity
Potential free current measurement
Communicates and stores data in the PA Tarcom
Built-in “hall” sensor
Interfaces
Two RJ45 cable sockets
Operation modes
“battery”: measures currents which run
through the battery cable
“load”: measures currents of external loads
not connected to the charge controller
“charge”: measures currents of back up generators
Displays
1 LED: connected to charge controller
= flashing green LED
Data transmission = green LED
Uses Tarom controller’s LCD to display values
