EQ meters C series
The EQ meters, C series are truly compact meters for single phase and three phase
metering. The C series is mounted on a DIN rail and is suitable for installation in distribution
boards and small consumer units.
Only one or three module wide, the C series is a very compact meter for single phase
and three phase applications. The meters have an LCD with large digits showing energy
register and instrumentation values. The meters have a wide temperature range which
makes it possible to install the meters in many locations. Navigating the meters are easily
done via the push-button below the display. The exceptional low power consumption of the
meters, less than 0,3 W and 0,6 W at 230 V AC, makes them economical in the long run
- an important feature specially for large meter populations.
The C series meters support reading of instrument values. A number of electrical properties 8
can be read:
• Power factor
• Active power
• Current
• Voltage
The C series meters have an output that can be used as pulse output or alarm output.
The alarm quantity and levels is easily configured on the meter with the push button.
The output can be used for controlling external apparatus like a contactor or an alarm
indicator (connected via an external relay).
The C series meters are type approved according to IEC and MID. MID is the Measuring
Instruments Directive 2014/32/EU from the European Commission. The type
approval is according to standards that covers all relevant technical aspects of the meter.
These include climate conditions, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), electrical
requirements, mechanical requirements and accuracy.
MID versions have initial verification according to annex F of the Measuring Instruments
Directive.
