MONNIT Industrial Wireless 20 Amp AC Current Meter
MONNIT Industrial Wireless 20 Amp AC Current Meter is an industrial wireless AC current meter designed to remotely monitor electrical current in equipment and systems. With a 20 amp current rating and ALTA 433 MHz wireless communication, it provides a practical way to monitor power-consuming equipment without requiring a wired monitoring connection. It is suited to applications such as servers, vending machines and other smaller electrical loads where remote current monitoring can help identify changes in equipment operation and power usage.
The MONNIT Industrial Wireless 20 Amp AC Current Meter provides wireless monitoring of AC current for electrical equipment and systems. It is part of the Monnit ALTA wireless sensor range and operates at 433 MHz for the Australia and Asia-Pacific frequency configuration shown on the manufacturer's page.
The 20 amp model is intended for smaller power-consuming equipment. Monnit's product information specifically identifies applications including servers, vending machines and workout machines.
How it works
- The meter monitors AC current from the electrical system.
- The measured information is transmitted wirelessly using the ALTA 433 MHz platform.
- The supplied SMA antenna provides the wireless connection for the sensor.
- The product page lists wireless sensor mounting hardware and a pre-installed 3 V industrial battery as included items.
Why choose this product
- Wireless monitoring: Provides a way to monitor AC current without running a dedicated wired monitoring connection back to the monitoring system.
- 20 A current rating: Designed for smaller electrical loads where a 20 amp current meter is appropriate.
- Industrial configuration: Supplied as an industrial version with mounting hardware, industrial battery and SMA antenna.
- ALTA 433 MHz: Uses the 433 MHz ALTA wireless configuration listed by Monnit for Australia and Asia-Pacific.
Benefits
The MNS2-4-IN-CM-020 can help operators keep track of current usage from equipment located away from a central monitoring point. Monitoring electrical current can provide useful information about equipment operation and changes in power demand, making the sensor suitable for equipment monitoring and energy-related monitoring applications.
Its wireless design can also be useful when adding monitoring to existing equipment where installing new monitoring cabling would be inconvenient.
