After the detection of renewed X-ray activity from the recurrent X-ray transient and black-hole candidate 4U 1630-47 (ATEL #106), the source has been monitored frequently with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We have analysed the publicly available RXTE observations performed during 12 and 26 September 2002 UT, resulting in ~19 ksec of on source time spread out over 13 observations. The X-ray flux (3-100 keV; unabsorbed) varied between 1.4 and 2.5E-08 erg/s/cm^2.
