PowerScout™
Networked Power Meters
DENT's
PowerScout™ Series networked
powermeters are submetering devices
designed to provide timely and accurate
consumption data necessary to gain the upper
hand on electrical costs in today's
escalating energy market. These meters can
capture kWh/kW energy and demand data as
well as virtually all relevant energy
parameters for diagnostics and monitoring on
three-phase or single-phase circuit
installations. The PowerScout's™
flexibility, size, and ease-of-use make them
ideal tools for gathering detailed
consumption information in commercial,
industrial, government and retail
environments. Installing the PowerScout™
is simple thanks to color-coded voltage
leads and clearly labeled CTs. DENT's
patented PhaseChek™ circuitry
includes a three LED indicator display that
confirms proper CT-to-phase installation.
The PowerScout™ automatically
adjusts for CT orientation, greatly reducing
set-up time and all but eliminating
installation errors.
TThe
PowerScout™ uses direct connections to
each phase of the
voltage and various
pre-wired CT options such as split-core
current
transformers or
flexible Rogowski coils (for large loads or
large cables
and busbars) to
monitor current on each phase.
Communications
interface to the PowerScout™ is
through an RS-485 serial connection using
the industry-standard Modbus protocol. Up to
254 PowerScout™ meters may be
connected to a single RTU or datalogger for
monitoring and recording power usage at
multiple locations within a single site.
The PowerScout™
18 is available with or
without an enclosure, as pictured below.
