The PMC-53M-E  Intelligent Multifunction Meter is CET’s latest offer for the low-cost digital power/energy metering market. Housed in a standard DIN form factor measuring 96x96x88mm, it is perfectly suited for industrial, commercial and utility applications. The PMC-53M-E  features quality construction, multifunction true RMS measurements and a high-contrast LED display. Compliance with the IEC 62053-22 Class 0.5S Standard, it is a cost effective replacement for analog instrumentation  that is  capable of displaying  3-phase  measurements at once. It  optionally  provides four Digital Inputs for status monitoring  and  two Relay  Outputs for control and alarm  applications. The standard  RS-485 port and Modbus RTU protocol support  makes the PMC-53M-E  a smart metering component of an intelligent, multifunction monitoring solution for any Energy Management System.
