Grid Metering for Today Built on a Solid Foundation of Proven Technology
The MAXsys Elite Power and Energy Revenue Meter is designed to provide unparalleled flexibility in meeting the dynamic requirements of high-end, precision metering used for generation, Transmission and Industrial applications. The Elite meter is designed around the most time-proven metering platform in its class, the highly successful MAXsys 2510 and the Quad 4+ metering platforms. While originating from a rich energy metering history, the Elite meter has evolved into an intelligent, multifaceted device loaded with new enhancements in the areas of power quality, communications, customization and ease of use.
Advanced Power Quality
The Elite’s advanced power quality features enable the utility to collect more power quality information at the point of delivery and provide that information to the end customer. The meter features waveform capture, individual harmonic capture, multiple levels of sags and swells, site diagnostics and much more. These new tools allow the utility to monitor their own service, improve the class of service provided to the end customer, and provide notifications of PQ events to the utility and directly to the end customer. Sharing power quality data is simplified with the addition of a PQDIF file format export feature.
Versatile Communications
In order to address the sophisticated demands of today’s “smart grid” environment, a grid meter must be versatile in its ability to distribute information and communicate to other intelligent devices. Elite meters support two industry standard protocols simultaneously from the same meter: DNP 3.0 level 2 and Modbus RTU. The Elite features a total of eight high speed communications ports. An Ethernet port under glass, internal 56K modem, and peer to peer communication using mA current loop round out the Elite’s extensive communications options.
Flexible, yet Easy to Use
The Elite allows you to customize each meter to fit the exact needs of your end customers by providing soft key upgrade functionality. Soft keys provide flexibility to enable or disable functionality in the meter, including only those features desired for a specific application. The elite meter is also designed for very easy set up without compromising flexibility. The large graphical LCD and front panel navigation allow the user to diagnose wiring and service issues from the front panel display.
