AcuDC 240 Series

Multifunction Power & Energy Meter

AcuDC 240 series power meter can be used for monitoring and controlling in DC
systems. These meters can measure a wide range of parameters such as voltage,
current, power and energy.
It supports bi-directional current measurement, digital inputs for switch monitoring
and relay outputs for remote controlling as well as an over-range alarming feature
for voltage and current. Large signals, such as voltage and current can be
converted to smaller signal using analog output. All data in the meter is accessible
via RS485 using open Modbus RTU protocol.
The large 3 line LCD display also provides easy to read real-time data directly on
the meter front.

Features
• DC power system metering
• Monitor and control power switches
• Alarming and analog output
• Standard 72x72mm, allows for drawer type panel installation
• Three line high-definition LCD display
• Accessible with SCADA, PLC systems
• Easy installation, simple wiring
• Data Logging: Offers 3 assignable historical logs where the all of
the metering parameters can be recorded.
• The onboard memory is up to 4 MB and each log size is adjustable.

Aplications • Wind Power Generation

• DC Energy Management Systems • DC Excitation Systems
• Power Distribution for Telecommunication Room • Light Rail Transit Systems
• Solar Photovoltaic Systems • EV Charging Monitoring
• Industrial DC Control Systems • Data Center
• Metallurgy and Electroplating Industries • Cellular Tower Energy Monitoring
