PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Precision Sub-metering for Every Circuit in Your Data Center

The AMC100 multi-circuit energy meter is purpose-built for data center power distribution — monitoring AC and DC main incoming circuits as well as high-density outgoing PDU and server rack loads. It is the essential instrument for branch-level energy metering and PUE calculation.

Dual A+B Incoming Monitoring
Independent measurement of redundant incoming circuits for full visibility of your power-supply architecture.
Branch-level PUE Calculation
Granular energy data from every outgoing circuit enables accurate PUE tracking and energy-efficiency optimization.
DCIM / BMS Ready
Standard Modbus-RTU, Modbus-TCP and SNMP output connects directly to your existing monitoring system.

CORE FEATURES
Engineered for Data-Center Grade Reliability
01
Dual-Circuit Incoming

AMC100-ZA for AC, AMC100-ZD for DC (-48V / 240V / 360V). Independent A+B main incoming monitoring with full electrical parameters.

02
High-Density Multi-loop

Up to 48 single-phase AC or 48 DC outgoing circuits in one DIN-rail module. Track every PDU and server rack branch.

03
Open Protocol

Modbus-RTU / Modbus-TCP / SNMP with 3-way RS485 and optional Ethernet. Plug-and-play with any DCIM, BMS or SCADA.

04
Multi-Level Alarm

Configurable thresholds for over-current, over-voltage and communication faults. DI for breaker status, DO relay output.

05
Harmonic Analysis

2nd to 63rd harmonic measurement protects sensitive IT equipment from harmonic distortion and power quality issues.

06
Local HMI Display

ATP007kT 7-inch touch screen provides real-time data, trends and alarm logs. Local visualization without upper platform.

07
CE & IEC Certified

Wide operating temperature range and robust EMC performance for 24/7 mission-critical data center operation.

08
Fast Installation

DIN-rail 35mm mounting with solid-core CTs or Hall-effect sensors. Retrofit existing cabinets without shutdown.

09
New & Retrofit Ready

Equally suited to greenfield data center projects and brownfield cabinet retrofits. Compact and flexible.
