The setup for the Envi is remarkably simple for such a versatile device. This wireless electricity monitor benefits from a modular design. You can easily add other items from the Current Cost range.
Overview
Current cost has produced nearly a million
energy monitors which have been supplied exclusively to energy providers and have been used to promote green tariffs.
The Current Cost CC128 Envi has been designed to help you stop wasting energy and therefore money. One of the main features is the ability to connect it to a PC and extract both real time and historic data.
In tests the Current Cost Envi CC128 is found to be one of the most accurate monitors available, tracking daily supply meter readings to within 4%. One of the features that distinguish the Envi from other monitors is its multi channel ability. Up to 9 different channels are available making the CC128 extremely flexible. This means you can monitor different supplies or circuits off the same monitor. This makes it great for installations such as Renewable Energy supplies. Please note access to the AC live is needed DC cannot be monitored
