Aeotec Clamp Power Meter - one clamp GEN5 (60A)

The Aeotec Clamp Power Meter - one clamp GEN5 (60A), also known as the Aeotec Home Energy Meter Gen5 (ZW095) single-clamp version, is a $\text{Z}$-Wave Plus device designed to monitor and report the total electricity consumption of a building or a large circuit. This specific version is intended for single-phase electrical systems and uses a single, non-invasive current transformer ($\text{CT}$) clamp rated for up to $\text{60 A}$ to measure the current flowing through a single main wire. It wirelessly reports real-time power (Watts) and accumulated energy ($\text{kWh}$) usage to a compatible $\text{Z}$-Wave smart home gateway.

Features

• Single-Phase Monitoring: Designed for $\text{1}$-phase electrical installations common in certain European/Australian markets.

• $60\text{ A}$ Current Clamp: Uses one $\text{CT}$ clamp with a maximum measuring current of $\text{0 A}$ to $\text{60 A}$ to measure the load on a single electrical line.

• Whole-Home or Circuit Monitoring: Typically installed in the main electrical box to monitor total home consumption, or on a specific circuit for focused monitoring.

• Real-Time Data Reporting: Reports immediate power usage (Watts) and accumulated energy ($\text{kWh}$) with high accuracy (over $99\%$ for currents $>0.05\text{ A}$).

• $\text{Z}$-Wave Plus ($\text{Gen5}$) Technology: Utilizes the $\text{Z}$-Wave $\text{Plus}$ protocol for extended range (up to $\text{130}$ meters outdoors), improved battery life, and enhanced security ($\text{AES}-128$ encryption) when transmitting data to a $\text{Z}$-Wave gateway.

• Weatherized Design: The main body is $\text{IP}44$ rated, making it resistant to rain and snow when installed vertically, which is useful if the main circuit box is metal or located outdoors in a sheltered area.

• Load Monitoring Customization: Allows configuration of reporting groups and intervals to optimize how frequently and what type of data is sent to the gateway.

• Bi-directional Power Measurement (Configurable): Can be configured to report both positive (consuming) and negative (generating, e.g., solar) power flow, depending on the smart home gateway's support.
