Schneider Electric has released the PowerLogic EM4300 Wireless Energy Meter, designed specifically for retrofit situations. The meter is quick and easy to install, taking up a small footprint within a switchboard.
Collecting a broad scope of electrical data, the meter can be used to monitor energy consumption, detect potential savings and optimise the service for the building occupants.
The range is flexible and has a high level of scalability, with the quick installation keeping downtime to a minimum. There is no need to introduce additional cabling conduit as the solution fits easily into the switchboard. If several meters are required, they can be connected with a single gateway.
The wireless monitoring provides measurement performance of 1% accuracy. The transmission is actioned using Zigbee Pro HA protocol with 2.4 GHz radio frequency and is compatible with Com’X and MPM gateways, data loggers and energy servers. Collected data is then transmitted through to a building management system so that analysis can be made.
