It’s after 10pm, do you know where your kilowatt hours are?? Now you can find out with the Dent Instruments ELITEpro XC. This little meter packs a big punch into a small unit and does virtually everything you need for determining energy consumption in larger scale operations.

As much as a highly specialized technical product can be so, the Dent Instruments ELITEpro XC is essentially plug-in and go. The meter is line powered making an external power source unnecessary and takes measurements at a user-selected interval down to 1 sec. Dent sells a really wide variety of transducers, so you can select your voltage and current needs, plug in your transducers, mount the unit, download your parameters and start recording. A metal housing is also available for harsher environments (see image). You can take these readings (with accuracy better than 1%) and upload to Dent’s ELOG software to analyze the data and produce load profiles and other charts and reports.

Another exciting feature is the optional ability to equip the unit with Bluetooth and wi-fi capabilities, allowing you to wirelessly transfer data and, with the use of a mobile device, view real time data. You can also use the unit’s new analog inputs to correlate environmental data like ambient temperature, tank pressure, or duct flow with the electrical data to see how factors in the environment are effecting energy consumption.

So what’s the bottom line? - greater energy efficiency and lower cost of power and operations. This equals more money for your company. Knowing the energy expenditure of your business is vital and tracking and correlating all this data has never been easier than with the Dent Instruments ELITEpro XC.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again…
