SINGAPORE — AMETEK Power Instruments—a recognized leader with Scientific Columbus revenue meters -- has announced at the Singapore Sales Conference that all JEMStar and Ci20 revenue meters will include an extended warranty. The meter accuracy will be guaranteed for 10 years to published specifications. The meters themselves will be warranted for 5 years against defects and failures.
AMETEK product manager Steve Bleier says ‘You need to look at the long term installed cost and our meters will provide many years of maintenance free operation.’ The Ci20 and JEMStar revenue meters have some of the highest accuracies in the market and stay that way for the long term. Yearly verifications have proven that, eliminating the need to send them back to the meter shop for re-calibration. The meter continuously checks itself for accuracy before it records a single measurement.
The meter designs have been tested above the required standards to ensure they will remain in operation for many years of service. The full 5 year warranty guarantees this.
The JEMStar revenue meter is ideal for grid monitoring with an accuracy of 0.07% on watt-hours. Suitable for all generation and transmission revenue metering, the JEMStar features dual communication ports using serial, modem or Ethernet and supports MV90, DNP, Modbus and ANSI Tables. The meter can come with an assortment of I/O including digital inputs & outputs and analog ‘transducer’ outputs.
The Ci20 revenue meter is an affordable solid-state device designed specifically for high end commercial and industrial power users. It provides an impressive 0.15% accuracy on watt-hours. The meter is equipped with dual communication outputs using Serial, Modem or Ethernet ports. Six channels of digital I/O can be configured as inputs or outputs.
Both meters present the phase vectors on the large LCD graphic display. Once installed, the energy management functions continuously check operating conditions against pre-set demand thresholds with alarms triggered for local and remote notifications. The meters are able to phone any number for quick notification of power outages.
Backed by AMETEK’s well-established reputation as a leader in electric power instrumentation, the CI20 and JEMStar revenue meters offer the most-cost effective metering solution for electric power users.
