Apex 150 Field Hot pluggable Interoperable

Precision metering series configurable communication communication

installations modules

Bulk energy measurement, modular multi comms options, wall mounted,

long range site configurable

Apex 150, series of next generation energy meter designed for

power transfer points requiring precise measurements and
revenue transactions. Flexible and modular communications
ensure integration with existing AMR/AMI/SCADA systems and
upgrade to future SAS systems. 4 quadrant energy
measurement allows monitoring of generation, transmission
and bulk power transfer point.

 Apex 150

The Apex 150 offers various communication modules such as RS232 with output to power up terminal modem, RS485 for multi-drop
connectivity and Ethernet for integrating into communication bus. The communication modules can be hot plugged in field and
locally or remotely configured for IDs, IP addresses. Dual socket support on Ethernet allows for simultaneous communication over
MODBUS and DLMS through different clients. All communication ports can simultaneously transfer data at high speeds.
