Acuvim AL Power Meter
Acuvim-L Series power meters are for power metering and monitoring at electrical panels and energy consuming devices or systems. They are also great for non-revenue sub-metering applications. Measuring all the key electrical parameters, these power meters offer great value.
The Acuvim AL version is the base model that is a manual read meter with no remote communication options.
Th Acuvim L comes in 6 different models, allowing you to choose the features that are right for you, see the Grid below for the various models:

Applications
- Metering of distribution feeders, transformers, generators, capacitor banks and motors
- Medium and low voltage systems
- Commercial, industrial, utility
- Power quality analysis
Measurements
All Acuvim-L power meters can be used on any single or three phase electrical system up to 600V AC. They measure volts, amps, frequency, power (apparent, active, reactive) & energy, power factor, THD and individual harmonics on both voltage and current to the 15th harmonic.Communications
- Acuvim AL is manual read meter only, with no remote communication options
- Acuvim BL includes a digital pulse output for kWh or kvarh. Pulse rate and width can be set. Also comes with an Alarm output.
- Acuvim CL includes BL capability and communications through MODBUS RTU via a built-in RS485 serial port.
- Acuvim CL-M is a DIN Rail mount version, with all the features, but no display. This lower cost device is great if manual meter reading is not required.
- Acuvim DL has 4 Digital Inputs, 2 Digital Outputs, 1 RS485 port with Modbus RTU protocol and Load Run Time.
- Acuvim EL has Load Run Time (TOU) and 1 RS485 port with Modbus RTU protocol.
- Acuvim EL-M comes with all the EL features, but no display. This lower cost device is great if manual meter reading is not required.
- Acuvim KL is an excellent, low cost meter for basic power (kW, kVA, kVAr and Energy (kWh, kVAh, kVArh) and Load Run Time. Perfect for basic sub-metering applications.
Warranty & Approvals
Acuvim-L meters are UL/ULc approved for use throughout North America and come with a 5 Year manufacturer's warranty.

The Acuvim AL does not have any remote communications capabilities.
The Acuvim CL, DL, EL & KL models are compatible with Acuview Software and communicate via
MODBUS communications protocol using either the built-in RS485 serial
port. Acuview Software enables
remote meter access for real-time monitoring and local PC-based
datalogging. You can download a demo copy of Acuview software - instructions for installing and using the demo software are in this PDF document.
Watch a video demo of Acuview software.
Acuview software is a PC-based data logging and reporting software designed to extend the capabilities of any Acuvim power meter that uses RS485 or Ethernet communications. Best of all, the software is completely free!

The Good:
This meter was easy to install and there is an abundance of information available at your fingertips. It is extremely accurate and clear large letters make it easy to read. Backlit for low light areas.
The Bad:
It would be helpful if the instructions were more detailed. I found them difficult to interpret.
The Bottom Line:
Good meter, I will buy again.
