The OptoEMU Sensor™ Energy Monitoring Unit monitors the electrical energy used in your facility and then delivers that data to online software applications—and optionally control and business systems—using your existing wired or wireless Ethernet network. The OptoEMU Sensor gives you the detailed, real-time data you need to analyze energy consumption and reduce energy costs.

You can view the real-time and historical energy data gathered by the OptoEMU Sensor online through a secure software service such as eSight. The OptoEMU Sensor sends energy data directly to the service you choose, and you can view and analyze the data from any authorized computer or mobile device.

You can also incorporate data from the OptoEMU Sensor in control systems based on Opto 22’s PAC Project™ software or Modbus/TCP, or send data to OPC clients, SQL databases, or custom programs you develop using the Microsoft .NET Framework.

The OptoEMU Sensor monitors energy used by your whole building, by electrical subpanels, or by individual high-energy users like chillers and compressors. The Sensor can connect to a variety of metering devices that emit pulses and can also connect directly to electrical circuits using current transformers (CTs) with a 0.333 VAC secondary.

The Sensor includes an easy-to-use utility program for setting up communication on your network, configuring the monitored devices, and entering the connection information needed to send data to the software service. You can download this OptoEMU Sensor Manager for free; it also comes on a CD with the Sensor.

Energy management represents significant opportunities to improve the bottom line. The OptoEMU Sensor makes it easy to eliminate assumptions, identify trouble spots, and save energy costs.

Another option for energy monitoring is the OPTOEMU-SNR-DR2, an energy monitoring unit with demand response capability and wired Ethernet communication.
