Dc Energy Meter

DC Energy Meter 4 CH


DC energy Measurement is based on the principle of integration of DC power with time incorporating State of art microprocessor-based design. DC power meters that measures the voltage, current, power and energy parameters. They are used for monitoring and controlling energy flow in DC systems. All SISPL models offers integration with external systems using MODBUS RTU protocol and an on-board RS485 serial communication port.

This device is capable to measure 4 Channel DC. The DC energy meter is Equipped with 20 x 4- character LCD, it displays measured values of current, voltage and energy in four channels with real time Clock. It has inbuilt Real time Clock and internal data storage memory(1MB) to create an internal Data log of measured values with real time. Our DC Energy Meter is equipped with four dc current measurement channels coupled with one DC voltage input. It measures DC Current & KWH in each channel, maintains data log of the same at preset Frequency of data updating, real time clock, Side ID. It is communicating with RS485.
