Energy

T he r e cen t e l y a cc l a imed NanoView displays live data in both monetary and consump- tion terms (i.e. energy in W and kW; andWater in litres and kilolitres). The user can quickly determine which appliances use more energy, and which cost the most to operate. With this data on hand customers can now make energy wise decisions. NanoView allows for real time and accumulated historic consumption data of up to 16 circuits and four water meters. It has user selectable names to identify circuits such as plugs, lights, geyser, stove, outbuild- ing (flatlet), pump (pool, borehole, A/C), water and thenprovides for total consumption. CBI’s new NanoView The NanoV i ew f r om CB I - electric allows residential and commercial consumers to monitor energy and water consumption.

data is saved indefinitely during power failures. It provides for up to four water meter transmitters with a range up to 100 m. The water meter has a three-year battery life. It has a one litre accuracy and is compatible with a number of popular water meter brands as well asmost reed switchcapablebrass and plastic water meters. There are consumption graphs for each circuit andwatermeter statistics for every hour for the last 24 hours; or for the past two weeks; seven weeks; month, 12 month period; and calen- dar year for up to five years. ■

It has an iPod-inspiredmodern touch button interface and a real time high consumption warning LED. The high consumption warning is customer- set, based on customer energy saving goals. For energy monitoring the unit can be connected to up to 16 power circuitswitha sensormeasuring range of 5W - 14 kW (60 Amax). Themonitor has a power sensor accuracy of 99% (Class 1) and an operating Voltage of 230 V A/C ± 20% at 50 Hz. With a one second refresh rate it has a 24-hour battery backup for time keeping. An added benefit is that consumption
