Accurate Bidirectional Electricity Monitoring and Energy Management
The Finder 7M.24.8.230.0010 single-phase energy meter is designed to provide clear, accurate information about electricity consumption and energy flow. Its bidirectional measurement capability allows the meter to distinguish between energy imported from the electrical supply and energy exported back into the network. This is especially useful in photovoltaic installations and other systems where electrical energy can flow in either direction.
With Class B active energy accuracy and MID certification, the meter provides a recognised measurement solution for applications requiring certified active energy metering. The device also measures reactive energy to Class 2 accuracy, helping users gain a more complete understanding of electrical consumption and power characteristics.
The seven-digit backlit LCD display provides access to accumulated energy readings and instantaneous electrical values. Using the multifunction touch button, operators can scroll through information including voltage, current, power factor, active power, apparent power, reactive power, frequency, harmonic distortion, phase angle and power flow direction. This makes the meter useful not only for consumption monitoring but also for routine electrical system assessment.
The integrated S0 pulse output enables the meter to communicate energy consumption information to compatible external devices. Pulse counters, building management systems and energy monitoring equipment can use this output for remote data collection and logging. The S0 interface is a pulse signalling connection rather than an Ethernet, Modbus or Wi-Fi interface.
For installation, the meter mounts onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail and occupies only 17.5 mm of rail width. This slim design is particularly beneficial in crowded distribution boards and control panels where space is limited. The sealable terminal shield helps protect the integrity of electrical connections and metering installations.
The meter is suitable for compatible 230 V AC single-phase circuits up to 40 A. Installation must be carried out by a competent electrical professional, with appropriate circuit protection, conductor sizing and compliance with relevant wiring regulations. The maximum current rating must not be exceeded, and any application requiring certified billing or submetering should be assessed against the applicable legal and metrological requirements.
