DENT Instruments Launches New BACnet PowerScout 3
Plus
Power Meter - Sub Meter
December 6,
2011
(DENT Instruments, Bend, OR) — DENT
Instruments, a global leader in the design and manufacture of power and energy
measurement instruments, announced the introduction of the
PowerScout 3 Plus Power Meter. The PowerScout
3 Plus submeter is compatible with the BACnet data communications protocol.
BACnet is a standard developed under the auspices of the American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) for building
automation and control networks.
Christopher Dent, President of DENT
Instruments said, "The newly updated
PowerScout 3 Plus submeter is user-switchable
between Modbus and BACnet communications protocols, which allows it to be
utilized in an even wider range of submetering applications."
The
PowerScout's flexibility, size, and ease-of-use make them the ideal tools for
gathering detailed consumption information in a commercial, industrial,
government, or retail environment. The PowerScout series products have earned a
solid reputation among energy professionals as a rugged and reliable power
meter for single-point three phase submetering projects.
The
PowerScout 3 Plus requires no external
power and can work on voltage services ranging from 80-600V. DENT's patented
PhaseChek™ circuitry includes a 3 LED indicator display that confirms
proper CT to phase installation—greatly reducing set-up time. Up to 127
PowerScout 3 Plus meters may be connected to a single BACnet client for
monitoring and recording power usable at multiple locations within a single
site. Up to 254 meters may be connected to Modbus.
DENT Instruments is
a leading supplier of an array of precision measurement instrumentation and
analytical software in the field of energy management.
