AcuDC 240 Series DC Power Meter

INTRODUCTION
AcuDC 240 series power meter can be used for monitoring and controlling in DC systems. These meters can
measure a wide range of parameters such as voltage, current, power and energy. It supports bi-directional
current measurement, digital inputs for switch monitoring and relay outputs for remote controlling as well as an
over-range alarming feature for voltage and current. Large signals, such as voltage and current can be converted
to smaller signal using analog output. All data in the meter is accessible via RS485 using open Modbus RTU
protocol. The large 3 line LCD display also provides easy to read real-time data directly on the meter front.
