POWERSCOUT™ 12
Twelve (12) Channel Power Meter
The PowerScout™ PS12HD has been designed to be one of the safest and most exible power
meters on the market today, since it can monitor up to 4 three phase or 12 single phase circuits from
a single voltage reference. All PS12 power meters include all four Serial/Ethernet BACnet and
Modbus communication protocols. Any DENT Standard and Revenue Grade mV output current
transformers can be used to monitor currents from 0.25 to 4000 Amps. This reduces lead time and
number of skus required when compared to other power meters that must be factory congured.
The CTs are sold separately as shown on the Standard and Revenue Grade CTs product data sheets.
Additional features such as the Tri-Color PhaseChek™ display, high voltage cover (safer installation),
positive and negative Modbus Registers for bi-directional metering, ViewPoint™ HD conguration
pulse outputs and is internally fused. The ViewPoint™ HD Conguration Software will allow for easy setup or reconguration while sitting at your desk or in
the eld through the use of a single USB Port and standard USB A-B cable. All setup table information can be saved to allow for easy programming of
multiple meters with similar congurations. The optional display will provide local streaming of data once installed. For more information regarding the
PS12HD and any of its accessories or to discuss your application in further detail, please contact your ACI Sales representative.
Applications: Energy and Demand Metering, Data Centers, Bi-Directional Metering, Load Surveys, LEED/Green Projects, Real Time Power
Monitoring in Commercial, Retail and Industrial Environments
