ReadWatt. Optical pulse collector for reading energy meters

 

{tab Industry}

Would you like to have access to your energy meter measurements?

Until now determining energy consumptions at the installations' mains has required high costs and production downtime because the industry has not had any way of accessing the energy meter readings.

With CIRCUTOR's new Readwatt product, it is now easy to read the measurements of your electric energy meter without changing the electric circuit, while obtaining cost savings of at least 40% compared to other measurement options.

Until now a choice had to be made between the following options for determining these types of consumption:

1. Installing your own energy meter or a meter in parallel to that of the utility company. This not only requires administrative steps with the company, but also important outlays and bearing the maintenance costs of the new energy meter.
2. Installing a power analyzer and its current transformers, which requires cutting off the electric supply and installing complex electric wiring arrangements, besides a high investment in units.

 

FAQs about our new energy measurement system:

Is it legal to use Readwatt? Yes, because nothing needs to be changed in the installation and its usual energy meter.

Can I use Readwatt with my energy meter? Yes, the only requirement is that your energy meter has to have a metering output with an optical impulse emitter (see photo).

How do you install Readwatt? Readwatt is installed in three easy steps:

1. Place it upstream of the optical impulse output of your energy meter with its adhesive,
2. power it with the attached power supply source.
3. Receive the data with energy management software such as CIRCUTOR's PowerStudio or EDS or with master Modbus/RTU software.

 

Installing Readwatt is fast and easy

Out of Readwatt's many applications, its main ones are as follows:

• Small and medium-scale industry: Accurately determine your energy consumption and adjust as needed: by maximum demand, by reactive energy compensation (requires two Readwatt units), by correcting incorrect energy consumption habits.

• Installers and energy consulting companies: for offering you power improvement and value added services quickly, easily and in a non-invasive manner.

• Electricity supply companies and energy suppliers, in general: for determining the consumption curves of potential customers and offering them tariffs adjusted to their needs.

• Service or production company chain stores (department stores, foodstuffs, etc.): since they can gather, centralise and supervise their energy consumption easily and swiftly. All these make it possible to improve electric energy management and provide greater negotiating capacity with energy suppliers.

How can you make it easier to assess energy users?

In a world of constant electricity tariff increases, and the installation of new smart energy meters, both big and small consumers want to improve their energy tariffs, but they do not have access to their energy meter readings.

Energy efficiency companies and installers need to determine the consumption profiles of potential customers to be able to offer them the most competitive tariffs that are adjusted to their consumption habits.

With CIRCUTOR's new Readwatt, it is now easy to read the measurements of your electric energy meter without changing the electric circuit, while obtaining cost savings of at least 40% compared to other measurement options. As both its installation and removal is easy, you can save time and money on each potential customer.

Until now a choice had to be made between the following options for determining a potential customer's instantaneous consumption:

1. Asking the current supply company to provide the data, which all too often is very slow and results in lost business opportunities.

2. Installing your own energy meter or a meter in parallel to that of the utility company. This not only requires administrative steps with the company, but also important outlays and bearing the maintenance costs of the new energy meter.

3. Installing a power analyzer and its current transformers, which requires cutting off the electric supply and installing complex electric wiring arrangements, besides a high investment in units.

With Readwatt, the measurement process is fast and economical.

 

FAQs about our new energy measurement system:

Is it legal to use Readwatt?  Yes, because nothing needs to be changed in the installation and its usual energy meter.

Can I use Readwatt with any energy meter?  Yes, the only requirement is that your energy meter has to have a metering output with an optical impulse emitter (see photo).

How do you install Readwatt?  Readwatt is installed in three easy steps:

1. Place it upstream of the optical impulse output of your energy meter with its adhesive,
2. power it with the attached power supply source.
3. Receive the data with energy management software such as CIRCUTOR's PowerStudio or EDS or with master Modbus/RTU software.

Readwatt's instantaneous energy measurements make it possible to offer energy efficiency services such as:

• Improving energy consumption habits: Off-peak hours, weekends, maximum demand control.

• On three-phase systems it is also possible to measure reactive energy and propose a compensation for it.

• Other energy efficiency improvements for measuring consumption before and after improvement steps are taken.

 

Readwatt can be used in many sectors, most importantly:

• Small and medium-scale industry: Accurately determine your energy consumption and adjust as needed: by maximum demand, by reactive energy compensation (requires two Readwatt units), by correcting incorrect energy consumption habits.

• Electricity supply companies and energy suppliers, in general: for determining the consumption curves of potential customers and offering them tariffs adjusted to their needs.

• Service or production company chain stores (department stores, foodstuffs, etc.): since they can gather, centralise and supervise their energy consumption easily and swiftly. All these make it possible to improve electric energy management and provide greater negotiating capacity with energy suppliers.

How can you have access to measurements from any energy meter?

In a world of constant electricity tariff increases, and the installation of new smart energy meters, both big and small consumers want to improve their energy tariffs, but they do not have access to their energy meter readings.

Energy suppliers need to determine the consumption profiles of potential customers to be able to offer them the most competitive tariffs that are adjusted to their consumption habits.
