PowerEYE 500 remote energy monitor can be connected up in minutes

(18/06/2010)

Crucible Technologies has launched the PowerEYE 500, a remote energy monitor. This product is supplied with 3 current clamps and can be connected up in minutes. As soon as it is powered it starts logging energy consumption and transmits it to a website every night using it’s built in GSM modem.

“During trials this product has already proved useful in identifying thousands of pounds of savings for our customers” said managing director Seggy Segaran. “They were unaware that the air conditioning was working even when the building was unoccupied and wasting electricity. Once we connected up the PowerEYE 500 and started monitoring the energy consumption it was pretty clear what was happening. Across the three shops our customer was able to start saving around £3500 per annum.”

“The beauty of the PowerEYE is how quickly it can be set up” said Ryan Diver one of the engineers behind the design of energy monitors at Crucible Technologies. “If you can get access to the three phases as it enters the distribution board then any competent person can connect it up. The clip on current clamps does save a lot of time“.

“The other area where time is saved is that the customer can see their energy usage from the comfort of their PC. There is no need to drive to different locations or to where the PowerEYE 500 is connected up” added Ryan.

For companies spread across multiple sites, the PowerEYE presents the facilities manager with a cost effective way of keeping track of energy usage to comply with the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.
