 DENT Instruments Launches New PowerScout™ Series of
Networked Power Meters for Commercial, Retail and Industrial Submetering
Applications
(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™ Series of networked power meters. The
PowerScout™ was developed to be the front-end metering ‘engine’
in energy management and building automation and control systems. It provides
accurate and timely energy consumption data that is the foundation for
efficient energy management.
Chris Dent, President of DENT Instruments
said, “These new permanent mount meters can capture real-time kW/kWh
demand data as well as virtually all relevant energy variables for diagnostics
and monitoring on three-phase and single-phase circuit installations. The
PowerScout’s™ flexibility, size, and ease-of-use make them ideal
tools for gathering detailed energy consumption and efficiency
information.”
The PowerScout™ 18 is a multi-circuit (CT)
version that allows it to be configured for monitoring multiple electrical
circuits sharing a common voltage source, or for current only monitoring of
branch circuits. The PS 18 is well suited for data center monitoring, tenant
sub-metering, and for accountability metering in commercial, retail, and
industrial facilities.
The PowerScout™ requires no external power
and can accommodate service voltages ranging from 60-600V. DENT’s patented
PhaseChek™ circuitry includes a 3 LED indicator display that confirms
proper CT to phase installation – greatly reducing set-up time. Data
updates occur every 0.5 sec, and instrument accuracy is better than 1%. The
communications interface to the PowerScout™ is through an RS422/485 serial
connection using the industry standard Modbus protocol.
DENT
Instruments is a leading supplier of an array of precision measurement
instrumentation and analytical software in the field of energy management.
