1.2.1 Introduction
Powerful Yet Cost-Effective
AcuDC 240 series monitors DC voltage, current, power and energy. It supports bi-
directional current measurement, and also displays meter running hour and load running
hour. Analog Output applies to DCS system, industrial monitoring and control. AcuDC
240 has a combination of accurate measurement, intelligent multifunction and simple
human machine interface. The cost-effective meter fulfills the requirements of monitoring
and controlling the DC circuit.
Compact and Easy to Install
The dimensions of AcuDC 240 series meet DIN 72X72 requirements. With a mounting
depth of 65mm, the meter can even fit in small drawer type cabinets. It utilizes a self-lock
installation mechanism, eliminating the necessary of fix bolts, which makes installation or
