AEMC’s Model PEL 105 is a simple to use, power and energy data logger that monitors both traditional and renewable energy sources. It monitors and records True RMS voltage and current, power, energy, cost and harmonics locally or from anywhere in the world.
The PEL 105 is built into a waterproof case with an IP67 rating designed for outdoor use and is ideal for pole mounting and can be powered from a phase being monitored. This product is perfect for electricians, engineers and contractors doing work in the areas of building and system monitoring and upgrades, including compliance to article 220.87 of the NEC, as well as overall energy audits and incoming power monitoring.
It is available with an Android™ App to configure, view and capture data wirelessly. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless communication provides the operator with the ability to work from a safe distance away from dangerous voltages and currents without the need to wear PPE gear.
