DC POWER AND ENERGY METERS

Measurement & Monitoring

DCM230 SERIES

Eastron DCM230 series DC meters are designed for measuring and monitoring in DC systems. The meters can measure all
important DC parameters: voltage, current, power and energy, etc. It also supports bi-directional measurement with pulse output.
All data in the meter are accessible via RS485 using Modbus RTU protocol. The meter has two versions working with AC or DC
power supply. Measuring voltage range up to 1000V DC, and current inputs are exible with DC shunt and current sensors. With
RTC equipped inside, the meter provides multi-rate information and monthly records. The meter is compact designed and
suitable for din rail installation.
