POWERSCOUT™ 48
Forty Eight (48) Channel Power Meter
The Powerscout™ PS48HD has been designed to be one of the safest and most exible power
meters on the market today since it can monitor up to 16 three phase or 48 single phase circuits
from a single voltage reference or two voltage references simultaneously. All four Modbus and
BACnet Serial/Ethernet communication protocols are included in a single meter reducing the
number of skus required. Unlike other power meters, the PS48 can be easily paired with any DENT
Standard or Revenue Grade CTs with a mV output to monitor operating currents from 0.25 to 4000
Amps. This reduces lead times since the PS48s don’t need to be congured at the factory and
shown on the Standard and Revenue Grade CTs product data sheets. Each meter also includes 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 software,
Revenue Grade 0.2% accuracy, NIST Calibration Certicate, displays real time information, two pulse outputs and is internally fused. The ViewPoint™ HD
Conguration Software allows for easy conguration of the PS48 while sitting at your desk using 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.
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
