Clipsal CENT-A-METER Energy Monitoring Device

 

Clipsal CENT-A-METER™ is an inexpensive new product designed for consumers.

 

  • It displays the cost of electricity being used on a portable, easy-to-read LCD monitor inside your home.
  • You can assist energy conservation, sustain the environment and reduce your energy bill if you adopt simple and efficient energy saving practices.
  • Learn how much it costs to operate electrical appliances and save money.
  • It can save you money and help our precious environment.
  • It will change the way you think about energy use and conservation during daily activities.
  • Is a remote reading monitor developed to meet community demands for energy efficiency.
  • It is easy to read, easy to use, and easy to install it. It makes it easy to check out the cost of operating your electrical appliances.
  • Peak load can be reduced by using the alarm to keep power usage and cost below a set amount.
  • Educate household members about the operating costs of electrical appliances.
  • Temperature and Humidity shows home comfort level together with cost of heating or cooling.
  • Power and current flow can be checked for correct and efficient operations of appliances.

Knowledge about the amount of power used enables consumers to make informed decisions about choosing energy efficient appliances, use of sustainable "green power" source, reduction of stand-by power losses and re-scheduling of unnecessary consumption during peak load periods. The monitoring of ambient comfort levels inside the home encourages efficient use of space heating and air-conditioning that are substantial energy users.

 

The Clipsal CENT-A-METER™ comprises of a sensor, wireless transmitter and receiver. The sensor is a clip-on current transformer that samples the electric current on each active phase wire inside the switchboard.

 

These readings are aggregated and relayed by the 433 MHz wireless transmitter to the remote receiver/monitor. The receiver computes the approximate power use, energy cost and greenhouse gas generation and displays the results on a large portable LCD screen. Consumers can input specific country currency and voltage, electricity tariff rate, greenhouse gas conversion factor and peak load alarm value.

 

Features

 

This product measures domestic electricity use and displays the cost per hour on a portable display located inside the home.
