WattNode® PLUS Bidirectional Networked Energy Meter by Socomec

Description

WattNode® BACnet Standard and Revenue Model Bidirectional Networked Energy Meter

• The WattNode BACnet is a bidirectional networked energy meter offering energy measurement parameters such as energy (kW), power (kWh), voltage, current, demand, kVAR, kVARh, power factor, line frequency, etc
• These energy values are communicated using the BACnet communication protocol over RS-485 as individual phase measurements and sum or average readings
• The WattNode BACnet can be assigned MAC addresses from 0 to 63 using front panel DIP switches. Up to 64 WattNode BACnet meters can be daisy-chained on one RS-485 subnet
• The BACnet - (Building Automation Control Network) term is commonly used to refer to the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135, adopted and supported by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
• The BACnet protocol provides auto-discovery which is used for device and object discovery over the network
• The WattNode BACnet meter has been independently tested by the BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL), and is BACnet certified
• The WattNode BACnet is available in standard and revenue-grade accuracy and can be used with any low voltage CT (0.333 Vac output)
• Revenue-grade system accuracy requires current transformers with class 0.6 or better accuracy
• The ACTL series of current transformers is available with Class 0.6 or Class 0.3 accuracy; these CTs are ideal for revenue-grade use for billing purposes, SREC and state revenue-grade requirements
• Certificates of calibration are available for the WattNode Revenue meters and the ACTL revenue-grade current transformers
• The WattNode BACnet’s compact size permits installation inside most electrical service panels, junction boxes and OEM equipment
• The WattNode BACnet is line-powered, therefore does not require a separate power source
• Diagnostic LEDs help ensure fast and correct installation as well as network communication
• The WattNode BACnet family of energy meters measure 1, 2, 3 phases in 2, 3, or 4 wire configurations, 120 to 600 Vac, 50 to 60 Hz
• Socomec offers a complete line of low-voltage, solid and split-core current transformers for 5 to 6000 amp loads
