New Meters Support BACnet®, LonWorks®, Modbus®, or Pulse Output
BOULDER, Colo. — Oct. 25, 2012 — Continental Control Systems announced
today a new line of electric power meters, the WattNode® Revenue. These
meters are designed for use in applications requiring revenue-grade
accuracy. The WattNode Revenue meters meet the accuracy requirements of
ANSI C12.1 and C12.20 Class 0.5, and support Modbus®, BACnet®, or
LonTalk® communications protocol or a pulse output.
“We are excited to offer our customers meters that meet and exceed the
ANSI C12.20 Class 0.5 accuracy requirements. Achieving this goal
required a significant engineering effort to improve our meters,
current transformers, and calibration systems.” – Nathaniel Crutcher,
Director of Engineering, Continental Control Systems
The WattNode Revenue marks a new level of performance for the WattNode
brand of electric power meters. WattNode meters are used in building
automation and energy management systems worldwide and offer a compact,
cost-effective, and networkable solution for electric power metering.
The new WattNode Revenue now brings these same advantages to
revenue-grade applications.
The WattNode Revenue electric power meters are optimized for tenant
submetering in residential and commercial spaces, PV energy generation
metering, UMCS metering on military bases, and more.
The ANSI C12.1 and C12.20 standards require CTs, which meet IEEE C57.13
accuracy, such as the Accu-CT® line of current transformers.
The WattNode Revenue meters are designed for 120/208/240 Vac and
277/480 Vac applications. Each meter is calibrated using NIST-traceable
equipment following the procedures specified by ANSI C12 metering
standards, and is supplied with a certificate of calibration.

In addition to revenue-grade, bidirectional energy (kWh) metering, the
networkable WattNode Revenue meters provide dozens of additional
measurements: bidirectional power, demand, peak demand, reactive power,
voltage, current, power factor, and line frequency. The WattNode
Revenue Logger for LonWorks can store 12 weeks of five-minute readings.
The WattNode Revenue meters will make their debut at WEEC 2012 in
Atlanta, and will also be on display at the 2012 Greenbuild
International Expo in San Francisco.
