AEMC® Introduces Ten NEW Simple Logger® Data Loggers
AEMC’s data loggers are small, single-channel recording devices powered by two AA batteries or through an USB port. These loggers can be ready to go in minutes with just a few parameters to set up. Models are available for logging AC voltage, DC voltage, DC current, temperature, pulse, and events. Application software is included with the unit. Scaling units of measure and recording length can be set through the software. Real-time graphs can be displayed and downloaded data can be analyzed, and reports printed. The main advantage of the logger is its ability to begin recording with a simple, one-button operation. The front panel LED alerts the operator of the logger’s status.

Updated Training Experiences
While the 57-year history of AVO Training Institute is impressive, the future holds amazing opportunities of progression for AVO’s electrical safety and maintenance training programs. With the purchase of a larger headquarters facility in Dallas by our parent company, Megger, we are taking this opportunity to improve the overall experience for our students. AVO Training is researching more interactive classrooms and modern training facilities to vastly improve our capabilities and our students’ experience within our Dallas facility. We also plan to update lab equipment and bring our lab/hands-on experience up-to-date in order to be directly relatable for technicians returning to work.
With strategic partners such as Circuit Breaker Sales (CBS), AVO Training has added an additional learning center outside of Chicago with plans for another in Florida. These training facilities hosted through CBS give AVO Training access to the most current as well as older equipment for students to view and interact with.
Since 1963, AVO Training Institute has been dedicated to providing electrical trades workers with an unforgettable learning experience. For the coming years, we will continuously improve to uphold our mission and goals for our students.

Photovoltaic Installation Test Equipment
Intellirent, a division of Electrorent, introduces an additional inventory of test equipment to meet the requirements at photovoltaic installations. With the onset of IEEE 1547 2018, PV installations throughout distribution systems are becoming more and more prevalent. The National Electrical Code’s (NEC) NFPA 70 governs the requirements for most non-utility electrical installations in the United States, including solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. When adopted into the building codes by states or local jurisdictions, the NEC becomes the basis for inspections and approvals of electrical installations. Come check out our latest inventory of available testing products required to meet these needs.
