  • Class 1 (kWh), according to EN62053-21; Class 2 (kVARh), according to EN62053-23; and Class B (kWh), according to EN50470-3
  • Current inputs: direction connection up to 45A
  • Instant variable readout: (max n5+3) DGT; energy readout: 9 (6+3) DGT
  • Voltage inputs: 120 to 240V with self-power supply
  • Alarm management.

Simplified Setup, Maintenance; Efficient and Accurate

The energy meters have a quick setup procedure, reducing commissioning time. They also provide information that maintenance teams can use, including run-hour meters and total operating time, giving users a comprehensive overview of energy usage.

The EM511 Series has been specifically engineered to meet the requirements of energy analysis in industrial and building automation energy efficiency applications, according to a company press release, and hold the above-listed industry certifications.

Other features of the EM511 series include digital input for remote contact monitoring, tariff management, partial meter start/stop or partial meter reset; programmable display and slide show function; and digital output (O1 version), RS485 Modbus (S1 version) or M-Bus (M1 version).
