CVM-D400: monitoring your consumption is now easier

Some of the daily challenges faced by the electrical installation professionals are a lack of space in the distribution panels, excess wiring, and the need to monitor multiple circuits simply and efficiently.

To address the common problems of electricians, Circutor presents the CVM-D400, a multi-channel power analyzer that not only optimizes space, but also simplifies installation and maintenance, offering an all-in-one solution to problems for installers.

An installation with many measurement points needs software to provide an overview of energy consumption. The CVM-D400 makes this possible, since this single device combines all the installation data it measures, and it is easier to integrate than multiple individual devices.

Space and wiring problems?

One of the biggest headaches for installers is managing space in distribution panels. Traditionally, each circuit requires its own power analyzer, which translates into a cluster of devices with excessive wiring, the end result of which is a chaotic installation with cost overruns and additional inspection and maintenance expenses.

The CVM-D400 solves this basic problem.  This multi-channel analyzer lets users manage multiple loads (three-phase or single-phase) from a single device. This reduces the space required in the distribution panel by up to 50%, freeing up space for other components and providing for a more orderly and efficient design.

This device can manage multiple lines, controlling up to 4 three-phase outputs, 12 single-phase outputs or any combination thereof, all in a single unit that takes up half the space compared to individual analyzers.

Excess wiring not only takes up space, but also increases the risk of errors during installation and maintenance. With the CVM-D400, this problem goes away. The device requires a single voltage wiring to manage all the loads, which simplifies the installation and reduces the time spent connecting and checking each circuit.

In addition, its pressure terminal connection system speeds up the process, minimizing errors and allowing for a faster and safer start-up.

Autowiring: avoid errors and save time

In addition, its web interface lets you make adjustments remotely, detecting and solving problems without having to physically handle the device. This not only saves time, but also reduces unnecessary travel.

Integrated memory and remote access

One of the highlights of the CVM-D400 is its integrated memory and webserver. These can be used to record and store all the consumption and electrical variables, including average, maximum and minimum values, for up to 15 days. In addition, installers can access these readings remotely, downloading them in .csv format for a detailed analysis without having to be physically present, which facilitates decision-making and maintenance. They can be downloaded from a PC or mobile phone, and shared easily via email or even WhatsApp.

Seamless start-up

The CVM-D400 simplifies start-up to the fullest. Since the device can be set up wirelessly via Wi-Fi, it generates an access point that allows installers to configure it directly from any web browser or via the MyConfig app on their mobile phone. This functionality speeds up the process and eliminates any potential configuration errors, ensuring a quick, accurate and seamless start-up without the need to connect it to any PC software.

The CVM-D400 offers connectivity via RS-485, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, meaning it can be integrated into SCADA systems and energy management platforms. Thanks to its compatibility with the Modbus TCP/RTU protocols, the device can be connected simultaneously with different systems, improving centralized consumption management and facilitating real-time decision-making.

Beyond measuring and checking consumption, the CVM-D400 enables advanced alarm management. With two or four digital outputs (depending on the model), the device can program alerts if there are any deviations from the set values.

The device is available in several models depending on the type of installation. For new installations, it requires efficient transformers: MC1 for single-phase lines or loads and MC3 for three phases. The latter are designed to be installed just above the automatic switch, saving space in the distribution panel. For installations where the supply cannot be interrupted, we offer SCV1 split-core transformers, which can be installed in circuits of up to 100 amps without the need to interrupt the supply.

The CVM-D400 is an all-in-one solution for installation professionals. Its compact design, ease of installation, advanced connectivity and remote management capabilities make it an indispensable tool for any installer looking to optimize their time and improve the efficiency of the installations they work on.
