THE INFORMATION CENTRE IC 970

Breaking New Ground In Energy Management

Measurement Accuracy
The accuracy - critical components in the measurement circuitr y are all passive, high quality and stable. The IC 970 conforms to meter standard BS EN 61036. Overall measurement accuracy is, however dependant on the accuracy of the external current transformers.

System Use
Although the IC 970 meter can be used in a stand alone situation, it is ideal for sub metering measuring from different depar tments and locations. The meter has been designed to accept a plug in communication module (RS 485) which enables it to work with the new Autometers Systems Horizon range of data loggers and data transfer systems as well as many other management systems.

Introduction
The Autometers information centre 900 series is a new range of meters which has been specifically designed to meet the strict requirements of switchboard manufacturers around the world. Designed to be a meter which is not only ver y accurate but small and compact, (96 square mm) easy to install. I t also has an optional advantage of being able to be fitted at a later date with communication modules for BMS systems. The IC 900 series is a range of Multifunction meters offering many different types of information ranging from just kWh (IC 910) to a meter showing many parameters including voltage and current harmonic analysing. (IC 990) All the 900 series meters have been designed to be fully compliant to integrate with the Autometers Horizon range of modules for data logging and interrogation.
