ACREL 6-Channel DC Power and Energy Meter
ACREL 6-Channel DC Power and Energy Meter is a six-channel DC power and energy meter designed for telecommunications base station power monitoring. It measures DC voltage, current, power and energy across multiple circuits and supports RS485 communication for remote data collection. The meter also provides alarm functions, historical data storage and power monitoring for shared base station infrastructure.
The ACREL 6-Channel DC Power and Energy Meter is designed for telecommunications base stations that require multi-circuit DC energy monitoring. The meter can monitor six DC circuits and is intended for applications where shared power infrastructure needs detailed energy consumption information.
It measures total voltage, output total current, power and energy, as well as the voltage, current, power and energy of individual channels. The unit also supports historical power and alarm data storage, allowing recorded information to be retained for later monitoring and analysis.
The ACREL 6-Channel DC Power and Energy Meter provides a single RS485 communication interface and can communicate using standard or customised protocols. Acrel's catalogue also identifies the RS485 interface as supporting Modbus-RTU.
How it works
- The meter receives DC voltage measurement through its dedicated voltage input.
- Six Hall sensor channels are used to measure DC current.
- The measured voltage and current data are used to monitor power and energy consumption for the connected circuits.
- Data can be accessed through the RS485 communication interface.
- The unit can provide alarm information for specified power monitoring conditions and store historical power and alarm data.
