Energy Management System (EMS) Upgrade Kit
(EMS−UGK) is designed to monitor energy usage of existing power
distribution panelboards, remote power panels, or power distribution
units. Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the EMS−UGK’s
unique benefits include the following:
S Monitors up to 42 (single panel) or 84 (dual panel) circuits in a
standard three−phase panelboard. Measures and stores energy
parameters for each of the individual monitored circuits, letting you
manage power with greater precision.
S Functions in a wide variety of applications supporting various data
center loads that may require a power distribution monitoring
solution, especially where power needs are changing and backup
architecture must be scalable.
S Can be mounted on a wall with the included mounting bracket and
customer−supplied fasteners appropriate for the type of wall.
S Choice of voltage sensing installation: connection to an unoccupied
circuit breaker using included transition harnesses or connection to an
occupied circuit breaker using included wire taps.
S Includes a software tool for easy configuring of settings and options.
S All harnesses supplied except for optional external ground.
S No preventive maintenance required other than verifying the
hardware and wiring are clear of debris. The EMS−UGK does not
require an annual calibration.
S Advanced Metering monitoring system, providing communication
options such as network connectivity through the Power Xpert
®
Gateway Card installed in the X−Slot
®
communication bay.
S Intended for continuous duty operation.
S Backed by worldwide agency approvals.
