Control loads based on time, demand or
anything
By combining Carlo Gavazzi's Energy Management and Dupline technologies, Wattwatch can monitor energy consumption as well as control loads depending upon time, demand, occupancy, light levels, etc
Carlo Gavazzi UK has joined forces with a number of partners to launch WattWatch - a simple, low-cost Energy Monitoring and Control system By combining two Carlo Gavazzi technologies - Energy Management and Dupline - Wattwatch is able to not only monitor energy consumption but control loads depending upon time, demand, occupancy levels, light levels or even combinations of criteria

Plastic bodies cut price of photo sensors
Carlo Gavazzi has launched a new range of photo sensors in M18 housings, significantly lower in price thanks to the use of rugged plastic bodies rather than metal
Since the backbone of the system is the long-proven Dupline product - installation is quick and simple - just a single twisted pair cable.
The software platform is the equally well-proven SpecView which incorporates data logging as standard and can be supplied with various "add-ins" such as Strategy Controller or DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) for straightforward networking.
System design, installation and commissioning can be handled by the System Integrator partners working with Carlo Gavazzi so removing one of the biggest headaches for users - that of getting a system up and running.
WattWatch is designed to grow with your changing needs - the entry level system includes 4 energy meters, all data transmission components and full software for under £2500.
To expand the system just add more meters (up to a max.
128) and low cost counter modules as time and capital allow.
Control and monitoring of temperature, fans, motors, lighting, security systems can all be added easily if required - the system will also handle pulse inputs from Gas and Water meters where necessary.
