Technical Specifications

The product documentation identifies electrical-parameter measurement, energy metering and RS485 Modbus RTU communication across the ADL200N family.

Final meter and CT selection depends on circuit current, conductor diameter, switchboard space and the exact RCM-listed model.

Key Features

Circuit-level energy visibility

The meter allows electricity use to be measured at an individual circuit rather than only at the building’s main utility meter. This helps users understand the consumption of specific equipment, services, departments or tenancies.

RS485 Modbus RTU communication

Electrical measurements can be transmitted to a PLC, HMI, building management system, SCADA platform or industrial gateway. Multiple meters may be connected across an RS485 network, subject to correct addressing, cabling and termination.

Comprehensive electrical measurement

In addition to accumulated energy, the meter can provide voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor and frequency. These values give operators a clearer view of how the monitored circuit is behaving.

Bidirectional energy measurement

Forward and reverse energy measurement makes the meter suitable for applications where power may flow in either direction, including selected solar, battery and distributed-energy installations.

External current-transformer options

External-CT variants allow current to be measured without routing the full load current through the meter. This can simplify integration into existing switchboards, particularly where conductors are already installed.

Compact panel integration

DIN-rail construction supports installation within electrical distribution boards, control panels, pump panels and OEM equipment enclosures.

Applications

Pump and water-system monitoring

The meter can monitor the electrical input to single-phase circulation, transfer, booster, irrigation and treatment pumps.

When combined with flow, pressure or level sensors, energy data can help users compare electrical input with pump output and investigate issues such as excessive running, increased loading or reduced system efficiency.

Individual machine monitoring

Single-phase machinery, process equipment and packaged systems can be monitored for energy use, operating demand and changes in electrical loading.

This can help identify:

• Equipment running outside production hours
• Increased consumption after maintenance
• Unusual loading conditions
• Energy consumption by shift, batch or operating period

Commercial building submetering

The meter can be installed on selected circuits supplying:

• Lighting
• Office areas
• Retail tenancies
• Small HVAC equipment
• Commercial kitchens
• Data and communications equipment
• Common-area services

This gives facility managers a clearer breakdown of where electricity is being consumed.

Tenant and departmental allocation

Energy consumption can be measured for individual tenancies, workshops, laboratories or departments to support internal reporting and cost allocation.

Where electricity is being resold or formally billed, the project’s metering and regulatory requirements should be separately assessed.

Solar and battery monitoring

Bidirectional energy measurement allows the meter to support monitoring of single-phase solar inverter outputs, grid import and export, or AC-coupled battery connections.

The meter supplies measurement data only. Export control, battery operation or generation regulation requires a compatible inverter, EMS, PLC or controller.

EV charging circuits

Single-phase EV charger feeders can be monitored for energy consumption, real-time demand and integration into a building energy dashboard.

Energy-efficiency projects

The meter can establish an energy baseline before equipment or control-system upgrades and measure performance after the work is completed.

Typical projects include:

• Pump replacement
• Lighting upgrades
• HVAC improvements
• Motor-control changes
• Operating-schedule optimisation

Why Choose This Product?

The ADL200N/ADL200M single-phase RS485 energy meter is suited to projects that require more than a standalone kWh display.

Its main value is the ability to make electrical data available to a wider monitoring and automation system. This allows the meter to become part of a practical solution for:

• Energy reporting
• Equipment monitoring
• Cost allocation
• Remote dashboards
• Maintenance investigation
• Building automation
• Industrial IoT integration

APS Technology Australia can assist with meter and CT selection, RS485 network design, panel integration, gateway selection and connection to local or cloud-based monitoring platforms.
