Features
Maximum flexibility for monitoring
The meter is a versatile, multi-channel instrument. The flexible design allows it to be configured for monitoring multiple electrical circuits. Designed specifically for applications where 12 channels are not enough, but 48 channels are overkill, the just-right meter can be supplied with any of Dent's internally-shunted, 333 mV output split-core or RōCoil CTs (sold separately). Monitor any combination of up to eight three-phase or 24 single-phase electrical devices with a single meter. With data updates every 1 second and ANSI C12.20-2010 Class 0.2 revenue grade accuracy (depending on CT), it is well-suited for data center monitoring, tenant submetering, and for accountability metering in commercial, retail, and industrial facilities.
Industry-standard Modbus or BACnet
Supports both Modbus (based on SunSpec IEEE-754) and BACnet communications protocols. Communications interface can be accomplished through standard serial RS-485 or Ethernet using either Modbus, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, or BACnet IP protocols. Additionally, the meter features two pulse inputs.
Easy installation
Every meter is line powered and designed to operate on any voltage from 90 to 600 VAC. The meter is equipped with two independent voltage inputs, allowing for the monitoring of customer-derived voltage networks. Modbus and BACnet protocols are field-selectable and any combination of split-core or flexible RōCoil CTs (sold separately) can be used. Configure the meter prior to installation using the ViewPoint HD software utility and a direct USB connection or by using the built-in web server.
Applications
Setting the meter up for a new deployment has never been easier thanks to two features:
Network scan
Using ViewPoint HD Software, you can now quickly scan the local area network and find all the meters installed on the network. The results page shows each meter's system description and even allows for some basic meter setup directly from the scan window. Use ViewPoint HD to give each meter a "friendly" name, such as "3rd Floor Utility Rm," to identify the right meter even faster.
Pre-configuration
Maybe you have several meters that need to be configured the same way. Or, maybe you don't have the meter in your possession, but need to configure it ahead of time for an installer. It is now possible to build a meter configuration file without having a meter connected. This is especially helpful for teams who handle configuration and installation in two separate steps.
The meter features interval data recording of kWh. The meter's non-volatile memory stores up to 63 days of 15-minute kWh data that can be downloaded in the event of lost communication with the RTU. The CSV data file can be quickly downloaded through a direct USB or Ethernet connection using ViewPoint HD software and can be used to backfill any missing data. Interval Data Recording works automatically in the background - no configuration necessary.
In addition, the meter has a capacitor-backed real-time clock (RTC) that is used to ensure an accurate time stamp on all recorded data records. Unlike other systems, there is no battery to change and the capacitor retains calendar time for up to 1 week. The clock can be synchronized with the PC clock during meter setup.
The meter is equipped with two pulse inputs. Correlate the consumption of a variety of systems using the standard dry contact pulse inputs. Configure each of the input channels independently with customizable units of measure (i.e., gallons) within ViewPoint HD Software. The PowerScout HD pulse inputs are compatible with "low speed" meters.
The power meter has the ability to set an Phase Loss Alarm. This alarm can be set through ViewPoint HD software to be triggered by the voltage dropping below a set threshold. The persistence setting is also adjustable within the software to allow momentary drops without triggering an alarm.
