The PMC-53A Intelligent Multifunction Meter is CET’s latest offer for the low-cost digital power/energy metering market. Housed in an industry standard DIN form factor measuring 96mmx96mmx67mm, it is perfectly suited for industrial, commercial and utility metering applications. The PMC-53A features quality construction, multifunction measurements and a large, backlit, easy to read Dot-Matrix LCD display. Compliance with the IEC 62053-22 Class 0.5S kWh Accuracy Standard, it is a cost effective replacement for analog instrumentation, capable of displaying 3-phase measurements at once. It provides four Digital Inputs for status monitoring, two Relay Outputs for control and alarm applications and optionally offers I/O modules or RS485 modules or I4 modules for extensive applications. With the Metasys N2 and BACnet MS/TP protocol support, the PMC-53A can easily be integrated into Johnson Controls or other Building Automation Systems.
