October 15, 2013 - E-Mon announces Multi-Mon, a three-phase, multi-function Ampere/volt demand meter that will provide improved energy efficiency and monitoring capabilities for multi-family, commercial, industrial, data center and other branch circuit monitoring applications. A single Multi-Mon metering unit can monitor any combination of single- or multi-phase inputs totaling 36 channels. Accordingly, this permits configuration of up to three dozen single-phase, 18 two-phase, 12 three-phase or other load combinations up to the device’s maximum input capability. As such, Multi-Mon provides an off-the-shelf, “custom standard” solution for just about any branch circuit monitoring need. Other key Multi-Mon features include:
- Available with solid- or split-core current sensors for optimum installation flexibility; 100-1200A;
- Compatible with E-Mon Energy software via EZ7 protocol for automatic meter reading, billing and profiling;
- Multi-Mon is powered by the measured voltages; no external power supply needed.
- Internal real-time clock can run for more than one week without external power;
- DIN rail mounting inside branch panel or optional steel enclosure for local mounting.
“The Multi-Mon branch circuit monitor complements E-Mon’s other advanced metering products by offering a packaged solution that systems designers and end users can easily integrate with their own equipment to provide an advanced solution for energy monitoring, tenant billing, cost allocation, power quality management and energy data visualization at the branch circuit level,” said Don Millstein, president of E-Mon.
“This capability will be especially valuable in bringing greater granularity of energy intelligence to existing building systems and will cut down on metering bill of materials, facilitate greater energy savings, and lower operating costs through optimized electrical system performance,” he said.
