Emlite Bidirectional Net Meter (1-Ph) (EM-ECA2-BI)
These bi-directional meters from Emlite display three readings: Import,export and Net (import deducted from Export). They are needed for PV installations with hybrid battery storage and to replace existing old meters if DC storage is retrofitted.
OFGEM guidance says that any DC coupled battery system on a FiT installation which has the ability to charge from the AC (regardless of whether it is set up or not) must have a bi-directional meter installed in order to claim the FiT.
The ECA2 single phase meter is one of the worlds most compact metering
devices allowing the unit to be used in metering installations where space is at a
premium.
The meter provides measurement of active (kWh) energy in both import and
export directions with registers shown on the large easy to read LCD display.
The display features 8×3.5mm characters and can be configured to auto cycle
any of the available registers or remain static with only a single register
viewable.
The meter features an optical port conforming to IEC 629056-21 allowing meter
readings to be collected electronically using a standard probe and software tool.
The port also allows configuration of the meter.
The electronic meter is highly reliable and capable of withstanding high voltage
events and overcurrent without failure. The meter is resistant to tamper with
reverse energy fraud detection and sealing for life.
High quality solid brass cable terminals are used allowing 100 Amp operation.
To enable the connection of energy management systems, an electronic pulsed
output version is available. The pulsed output connects onto two auxiliary
terminals in the main terminal block.
