Overview
The Electrocorder LS-1V is a single-phase voltage interruption logger for recording when supply voltage is present or absent over time.
Use it when the key question is not detailed voltage variation, but when the supply is on or off. The LS-1V records the dates and times when voltage is above or below a user-defined threshold, making it useful for power interruption studies and equipment on/off cycle monitoring.
Best for:
- Long-term power supply interruption monitoring.
- Recording periods when grid voltage is present or absent.
- Monitoring equipment duty cycles, such as compressor or motor on/off periods.
- Checking intermittent supply availability in remote or unreliable supply areas.
- Simple event-style voltage presence logging.
Consider another model if:
- You need detailed voltage levels, dips and swells, where the EC-1V or EC-2V may be more appropriate.
- You need voltage and current together, where the EC-2VA, CT-2VA or EC-7VAR-RS may be a better fit.
- You need three-phase voltage monitoring, where the EC-3V or SL-3V may be more appropriate.
What you get:
- LS-1V logger.
- Voltage lead, USB lead, carry case, batteries, user instructions and free Electrosoft analysis software.
- A voltage interruption logger for recording on/off periods against a user-defined threshold.
Set up the logger in Electrosoft, plug it into the monitored supply, then start recording. When enough data has been captured, disconnect the logger, connect it to a PC by USB and use Electrosoft to view, save, export and report on the results.
Applications
Typical applications: The LS-1V is intended for voltage presence and interruption studies rather than detailed voltage quality analysis.
What the LS-1V records:
- Dates and times when voltage is above the configured threshold.
- Dates and times when voltage is below the configured threshold.
- Power supply interruption periods.
- Equipment voltage on/off cycles where voltage presence indicates operation.
Why constant sampling matters: many instruments only take periodic snapshots. The Electrocorder continuously samples throughout the averaging period, helping capture short events, changing loads and trend data that can otherwise be missed.
Recording duration depends on the configuration and the interruption study being carried out. It is intended for long-term evidence of supply availability or equipment cycling.
When fitted with the appropriate plug or voltage lead arrangement, the LS-1V can be used as a simple plug-in interruption logger.

Features
When to choose the LS-1V
Choose this model when the investigation is about supply presence, supply interruption or equipment on/off timing rather than detailed voltage level analysis.
Compare with related Electrocorder models
If you need detailed voltage level data, consider EC-1V or EC-2V. If voltage and current together are needed, consider EC-2VA, CT-2VA or EC-7VAR-RS.
Key features:
- Records voltage on/off periods against a user-defined threshold.
- Useful for supply interruption studies and equipment duty-cycle checks.
- Simple plug-in style use where the correct voltage lead or plug is supplied.
- Data includes dates and times of voltage presence and absence.
- Designed for long-term interruption evidence rather than full power analysis.
Measurement note
The LS-1V is an interruption logger. It is not intended to replace a full voltage quality recorder when detailed voltage level, dip or swell data is required.
Included with your single-phase voltage interruption logger:
- LS-1V logger.
- Voltage lead, USB lead, carry case, batteries, user instructions and free Electrosoft analysis software.
- A voltage interruption logger for recording on/off periods against a user-defined threshold.

FAQ
What does the LS-1V record?
It records when voltage is above or below a user-defined threshold, with dates and times.
Is it the same as an EC-1V?
No. The EC-1V records voltage levels. The LS-1V is focused on voltage presence and interruption events.
Can it monitor equipment cycling?
Yes. If voltage presence indicates equipment operation, it can record on/off timing.
Can it help with unreliable supply investigations?
Yes. It can record long-term periods when supply voltage is present or absent.
What software is used to analyse the data?
Electrosoft PC software is used to configure the logger, download recorded data, view data and create reports.
