Advanced Branch Circuit Monitors

Advanced Branch Circuit Monitors

The meters provide real-time monitoring of current, voltage, instantaneous power, demand and energy consumption of each circuit in a panelboard, including the main feed. They can monitor up to 48 independent, user-defined inputs on one single meter board, and for maximum flexibility support all industry standard communications protocols, including RS-485, BACnet MS/TP, BACnet IP, Modbus TCP and Ethernet. Both lines can monitor up to 48 circuits and simultaneously monitor multiple systems with two independent voltage inputs. As an added advantage, the meters also improve load management with user-configurable alarm thresholds. The Series 7000 is designed to be integrated into a panel for embedded applications and includes an option with a display. The Series 7100 incorporates a display and NEMA 1 enclosure. Suitable for new construction, industrial and retrofit applications, the meters can be used to meet ASHRAE 90.1 2013 and 2016, 2019 Title 24, and Seattle Energy Code submetering and circuit disaggregation requirements.
