Elcomponent has the resource and experience to provide a solution to all your energy monitoring requirements utilising both portable and fixed systems. We have supplied more portable energy analysers to UK customers since 1986 than any other single manufacturer, and since 1998 have supplied more than 300 automatic sub-metering systems to applications including MOD sites, government buildings, major supermarkets and a host of manufacturing plants.
Elcomponent are passionate about helping their customers reduce their carbon footprint and cut their energy costs, and have a strong track record of doing so. Our products and services are based on the belief that carbon efficiency and cost reduction are not incompatible – both are realised by simply consuming less energy. By working closely with each customer, that goal is turned into reality.
Portable Energy Data Loggers
Our market leading range of portable Energy Data Loggers offers a choice of very capable instruments to suit all applications and budgets. With the emphasis on safe, non-invasive operation all the loggers are suitable for use by non-technical staff, and are shipped complete with everything you need to start work immediately. The units are fully programmable for survey length and storage value, and feature large non-volatile memory for flexibility and data security. The 3 phase units are supplied with flexible CTs as standard for safety and ease-of-use, and as with all their instruments, full technical support is only a phone call away. Elcomponent’s MD, Bill Gysin, believes that the SPC range represents outstanding value, not just because of the units’ low prices, but because of their effect on carbon emissions. “Portable data loggers are the gift that keeps on giving, from a carbon perspective” he says. “You only have to buy the unit once, but virtually every time you use it, it will pinpoint some energy waste or inefficiency – a poorly controlled baseload or whatever – which means over time, a single logger can have a huge effect on an organisation’s carbon footprint.”
Metering Systems & Smart Meters
Our end-to-end package covers everything from metering system design and build, through installation using our own engineers, to commissioning, handover and training. Hundreds of systems with many thousands of meters are in place across the UK helping our customers reduce their bills and their carbon footprints. With our latest web dashboards and real-time meter displays, our customers are showcasing their carbon policy and CRC achievements in a powerful and immediately recognisable way.
So how does it work?
The Process
We specialise in providing AMR systems covering both fiscal and sub meters at all kinds of sites, commercial or industrial, large or small. We know that no two systems are the same so we start by surveying your site or sites (free of charge) and working with you to create a cost effective proposal. We work out the best solution for the data acquisition element of the system. Our expertise encompasses LAN-based networking, VHF radio links, GPRS and MODBUS/TCP.
The installation and commissioning of all aspects of the system is taken care of by our own installers and engineers so you get a fully functioning package ‘right first time’.

Meters
All our systems are multi-utility, covering all types of fiscal meters and sub meters, existing and new. All new electric power meters and smart meters are installed by us or by your designated contractor and we hold large stocks of our own kWh meters and multi-parameter electricity meters, as well as their associated current transformers.

Data Acquisition and networking
At Elcomponent we ensure that our systems are tailored to the site and to the customer’s requirements – not the other way round. We can combine any or all of these networking technologies to ensure that the best solution is always delivered:
- LAN based – uses your existing network
- VHF radio – powerful ‘AMR specific’ radio transmitters with network enabled receivers offer wireless flexibility without the restrictions of generis low-power hardware
- GPRS – utilises the mobile network for remote locations or wireless connection to the cloud
- MODBUS/TCP Meters – better accuracy and more reliable than pulse outputs
- Pulse Interfacing – because it’s the most common meter output

Live Energy Dashboard
Elcomponent’s MeterRing RT live dashboard is guaranteed to engage with your workforce and present your organisation’s energy and carbon performance via high quality display that both captivates and informs. It’s a fully integrated browser-based package that takes care of reading the meters, configuring the data and presenting it via hi-resolution graphics. Our vast experience in AMR and data presentation ensures that MeterRing RT ticks all the boxes. Its smoothly animating graphics and clean cutting-edge feel doesn’t just look good – it attracts the viewer’s attention and the carefully designed screens do much more than simply display an instantaneous meter reading. If you need to increase the energy awareness in your business – then you need MeterRing RT!
