PowerEYE 500 remote energy monitor from Crucible Technologies comes supplied with three current clamps and can be connected up in minutes. As soon as it is powered it starts logging energy consumption and transmits it to a website every night using it’s built in GSM modem.
For companies spread across multiple sites, the PowerEYE presents the facilities manager with a cost-effective way of keeping track of energy usage to comply with the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.
“The beauty of PowerEYE is how quickly it can be set up” said Ryan Diver one of the engineers behind the design of energy monitors at Crucible Technologies. “If you can get access to the three phases as it enters the distribution board then any competent person can connect it up. The clip on current clamps does save a lot of time.
“The other area where time is saved is that the customer can see their energy usage from their PC. There is no need to drive to different locations or to where the PowerEYE 500 is connected up."
Managing director Seggy Segaran added: "During trials this product has already proved useful in identifying thousands of pounds of savings for customers. They were unaware that the air conditioning was working even when the building was unoccupied and wasting electricity. Once we connected up the PowerEYE 500 and started monitoring the energy consumption it was pretty clear what was happening.”
