The MiniCloset-5c, or MC-5c, is a multi-tenant digital electric meter used for commercial,
residential or industrial applications. It meters up to 24 circuits or channels, which can be
configured as 24 single-phase/circuit loads, 12 two-phase/circuit loads, 8 three-phase/circuit
loads, or any equivalent combination. It records interval data, including hourly and 15
minute intervals, down to 5 minutes which allows flexible load profiling and Time-of-Use
(TOU) billing options. It also measures four-quadrant energy, power-down events,
frequency, etc. enabling the user to analyze power quality.

The MC-5c utilizes flash memory which enables reliable data storage and integrity without
battery reliance. In addition to metering data, it stores power quality data and a
comprehensive list of relevant events. The recorded events include: power consumption,
demand resets, power ups and power downs, time changes, and tampers. In addition to
remote reading, the consumption readings, power quality and event data are also accessible
by reading the built-in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or using a computer and optical probe.
(See chapter 5 for more information on the meter display.)
Using a Pulse Datalogger Module (PDM), the MC-5c is capable of collecting pulse data from
any device capable of a dry contact outputs, such as water, gas, or BTU meters. Each PDM
can count pulses for up to 12 discrete meters, and four PDMs can be daisy-chained together.
Therefore up to 48 different meters, (4x12) can be assigned to one MC-5c. Note; This data
can be recorded at different intervals than those set for the electricity readings.
