Wireless way to monitor multiple circuits without rewiring or installing powered meters

Why This Current Meter?

Facilities often lack circuit-level visibility, making it difficult to identify inefficient equipment, failing motors, or unbalanced loads. This device was designed to provide a simple, wireless way to monitor multiple circuits without rewiring or installing powered meters—ideal for retrofits and distributed sites.

How It Works

Sense
External CT clamps measure AC current on up to four individual circuits.

Transmit
Measured data is wirelessly transmitted via LoRaWAN to a nearby gateway.

Monitor & Alert
Current and energy data are visualized in the ioX-Connect platform, where thresholds and alerts can be configured to flag abnormal conditions.

The LoRaWAN 4-Channel AC Current Meter can monitor up to four independent AC circuits simultaneously using external CT clamps. Each channel reports current data separately, allowing circuit-level visibility from a single device.

The device supports standard split-core CT clamps with ratios of 100 A / 50 mA, 300 A / 50 mA, and 600 A / 50 mA. CT clamps are selected based on the expected current range of the monitored circuit and are sold separately.

No. The device measures AC current only. It does not directly measure voltage or calculate true power. However, current data can still be used effectively for run-time monitoring, load analysis, anomaly detection, and energy trend analysis.

No. The device is fully battery-powered using an 8500 mAh Li-SOCl₂ battery. This eliminates the need for external power wiring and makes it ideal for retrofit installations inside electrical panels or remote locations.

Battery life depends on reporting intervals, number of active channels, and alarm configurations. In typical monitoring scenarios, the device is designed to operate for multiple years without battery replacement.

The current meter communicates over LoRaWAN and is compatible with ioX-Connect LoRaWAN Gateways. Gateways provide the long-range wireless connection between the device and the ioX-Connect platform.

Yes. The device is designed for industrial and commercial environments and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). It is intended for installation inside electrical panels or protective enclosures.
Yes. Current thresholds and alert conditions can be configured within the ioX-Connect platform. Alerts can be triggered when abnormal current levels, unexpected run-times, or other predefined conditions are detected.

Absolutely. You can update configuration parameters—such as reporting intervals or thresholds—by sending a downlink command from the ioX-Connect platform to your device over the network. We've made it very simple and easy for users of the ioX-Connect platform to do this. Every sensor in your account will show sensor specific settings that can be applied to your device, there is no need for you to worry about any technical reference guides or documentation or needing to understand how uplinking/ downlinking works or what payload formatters are. ioX-Connect takes care of all of that for you. There is also no need for physical access; you manage and fine-tune your sensors anytime, anywhere through the portal.
