New System Purchase. Questions.

Post by Andrew_SECOINC » Wed Feb 11, 2015 7:43 am

Hello,

I am looking at purchasing a setup that will monitor 44 circuits all with micro 40 CT, two split 200 CT and I want to monitor the solar inverter. Is ecm-1240 my best choice? I can't seem to get an email response or phone call from anyone at this company...

I appreciate any help with getting me all the proper items ordered.

Thanks.

The best value would be to purchase a GEM since it has 32 channels, 8 temps, 4 pulse channels. You would however need to group the other 12 channels together. Otherwise your choice is to purchase two GEMs for monitoring. The ECM-1240 only supports 7 channels total so that would require 6-7 units.

Was out since Monday with an ear infection, back in the office now however.

Take a look at http://www.mypowerpanel.com/, we have more up-to-date information there. The GEM as Teken stated, is your best bet.

One GEM (32 channels) can likely cover all 44 circuits if you combine a few circuits onto channels (for example, outlet loads that aren't used too often, or loads that you aren't too interested in).
