System Overview

Wireless Smart DC Monitors Overview

Wireless Smart DC Power Monitors enable the measurement of DC current and voltage and

together provide can provide power and energy information. The system utilizes

independent current and voltage monitors. These monitors report the respective voltages

and currents wirelessly to a Gateway. The Gateway aggregates the information from all

monitors and places the data on a conventional Ethernet network. The information can be

sourced from the Gateway in Modbus TCP/IP or SNMP protocol for use with any third party

monitoring system as well as routed directly to Packet Power’s EMX Energy portal, a local or

cloud application for instant access to the data.

System Components

Wireless Current Monitors: Wireless current monitors sense the current on the DC bus

and transmit the data via an integrated radio.

There are two types of wireless current monitors; versions with integrated solid core current

transducers (CTs) for applications 65A and below and versions with remote current

transducers for higher current applications or for use with split core current transducers to

enable installation without removing the conductor.

Wireless Current transducers are supplied by a DC source. This source can come from the

Universal Power Supply (see power supply section) or directly from the DC bus. See the
