What is the ACCESS 9340/9360 Meter?
The ACCESS 9340/9360 meter is a multifunction, digital
instrumentation, data acquisition and control device. It can replace a
variety of meters, relays, transducers and other components. The
meter can be installed at multiple locations within a facility.
The meter is equipped with RS485 communications for integration
into any power monitoring and control system. However, WinPM.Net
from the ACCESS family of Siemens, which is written specifically for
power monitoring and control, best supports the meter’s advanced
features.
The meter is a true rms meter capable of exceptionally accurate
measurement of highly nonlinear loads. A sophisticated sampling
technique enables accurate, true rms measurement through the 63rd
harmonic. You can view over 50 metered values plus minimum and
maximum data from the display or remotely using software. Table 1–
1 summarizes the readings available from the meter.
