10.4. Components
Depending on the requirements, the equipment for energy monitoring can be carried out with the Kentix
SmartMeters via radio or, alternatively, wired with ModBus meters.
ModBus counters are either wired directly or integrated over the network depending on the version.
The Kentix SmartMeter connect via ZigBee radio with the PowerManager and can also network with each other,
for example, to equip larger areas.
Up to 32 SmartMeters can be operated using one PowerManager.

Wireless Inline-Meter
The PowerManager is the central component of the solution.
Here, the SmartMeter or ModBus counters are connected via
radio or RS485.
The PowerManager is connected to the network via a PoE-
enabled switch.
The web interface can then be used to change the basic settings,
such as IP data, as well as the configuration of user data and
counter settings.
A description of the configuration can be found later in this guide.
Radio extension meter for the integration of consumers in the IT
infrastructure or technical rooms. Ideal for measuring rack PDUs,
UPSs, air conditioning systems or building services. The meter is
installed on the standard DIN rail in the electrical distribution or
can be used directly as a so-called InlineMeter. In the event of a
power failure, a last message can be sent to the PowerManager.
Thus, network and phase failure are optimally monitored.
Inline meters are ready-made SmartMeters. These are available
ready for connection in 4 versions::
Online Inline-Meter 16A, 1-phase
Online Inline-Meter 16A, 3-phase
Online Inline-Meter 32A, 1-phase
Online Inline-Meter 32A, 3-phase
