A metering and measurement system from Socomec – DIRIS A14 panel-mounted MID multi-function meter – is now available with a door-mounting that delivers billing grade accuracy to EN50470-3 class C (0.5 per cent).
It is becoming increasingly critical to maintain control of energy usage, both in terms of legislative requirements and environmental policy. Never before has energy efficiency been so crucial. Furthermore, with the continuous evolution of technology, a hard-working electrical infrastructure needs to be able to meet the demands of today, and in the future.
The process of developing smarter facilities starts with developing an advanced understanding about the way that resources are used – and the way that those resources are managed. The efficient management of energy costs starts with the accurate measurement and centralised monitoring of energy consumption, across the entire estate.
Socomec’s advanced systems will help to reduce the cost of the measuring point for new or existing installations, reduce the configuration and integration time whilst improving performance levels.
By integrating smart technology within an electrical infrastructure, it is possible to develop an unparalleled understanding of sites, buildings and processes. This new connectivity – combined with a universal view of operating parameters – enables a reduction in energy consumption, costs and emissions and makes the deployment of resources more efficient.
The status of key operating parameters can be tracked in real time, delivering a greater degree of agility and accuracy – both virtual and physical anomalies can be addressed rapidly, in turn achieving maximum uptime and reduced operating expenditure.
The panel-mounted version of Socomec’s DIRIS A14 is a multi-function MID-certified meter for use on LV switchboards and sub-distribution boards for unsurpassed data access – and superior billing accuracy.
Easy to integrate, the DIRIS A14 is certified to IEC 61557-12 and is ideal for even complex sub-billing applications and is suitable for both single and 3- phase installations and bi- directional metering.
The MID modules are B+D certified for both single and 3-phase installations, and are bi-directional for power generation applications.
The RA485 open protocol Modbus output makes for easy integration with any head-end system. Furthermore, the A14 is fully integrated with Socomec’s Diris G Ethernet gateway module and its embedded webserver Webview.
