With MeterM@il, the company’s 7500 ION and 7600 ION power meters can now automatically send high-priority alarm notifications or scheduled system-status updates as e-mail messages to anyone, anywhere within the facility or around the world. MeterM@il messages can be received like any e-mail message, over a workstation, cell phone, pager or PDA. The WebMeter feature adds an on-board web server to the meter, making the meter’s real-time energy and basic power quality information accessible from any popular Web browser. Also, 7500 ION and 7600 ION meters can now exchange information using industry-standard XML format to support custom applications development. 

The MeterM@il feature can be configured to send alarm messages to key facility personnel for timely notification of critical power conditions. Data logs from the meters can also be sent on a scheduled or event-driven basis via e-mail, while supporting integration with custom applications such as energy reporting services. E-mail messaging is a convenient and cost-effective way to transmit energy information over a corporate Intranet or the Internet while accommodating firewall restrictions. It can also be received by a growing number of Internet-ready devices. 

WebMeter’s web-browser support enables facility personnel to quickly access each power meter from any workstation or web-enabled device without the need for special software. Each meter’s built-in web pages display a range of energy and power quality information, and even support basic meter-configuration tasks. Application service providers will find the meters’ new XML support valuable, as this simple machine readable-format supports easy integration with custom reporting, spreadsheet, database and other applications. 

The MeterM@il and WebMeter features are available now for the 7500 ION and 7600 ION panel-mount power meters, and are scheduled to be offered with other ION power meters in the near future.
