DESCRIPTION

The H8238 Multi-Circuit Monitor power monitoring system provides a convenient solution for monitoring multiple electrical services that share a common voltage source. It also reports diagnostic information such as power factor, volts, amps, and kVAR, over an RS-485 network using the industry standard Modbus communication protocol. To protect valuable equipment, it has built-in alarm registers for over- and under-voltage, current, and kVA.

The monitoring capabilities and open systems compatibility of the H8238 make it the ideal power monitoring solution for OEM, tenant submetering applications, and load management of power distribution units commonly used in internet data centers.

power/energy monitoring

APPLICATIONS

● Tenant submetering

● Real-time power monitoring

● Activity-based costing

● Managing loads

H8238

FEATURES

● Revenue Grade measurements

● Save labor and installation costs by monitoring up to eight 3Ø, (or six 3Ø plus

neutral current) loads from a single service with common voltage connections

● Eliminates the need to install multiple transducers – fewer components to

install...saves time and space

● Easily connect up to 24 industry standard 5A CTs (solid-core and/or split-core)

● Modbus communication for ecient data collection

● Improve monitoring system eciencies by accessing 26 data points per circuit,

plus alarms, with one RS-485 drop

● Daisy chain up to 30 units on a single drop...easy wiring

● Field-selectable address, baud rate, parity and wiring connections...

simple conguration

● Use with E8950 gateway for BACnet connectivity...expanded

system compatibility

● Use with U013-0012 serial to ethernet protocol converter...easy

system integration
