Apex 100 is a long-range high-end precision meter, specifically designed for precise measurement at generation plants, transmission substations and bulk power transfer points. Multiple communications options make it fully compatible with existing substation systems, while providing future-proof capability and optimised engineering. Apex 100 supports widely accepted Modbus and ICS DLMS open data exchange protocols for ease of reading and integration with other systems.
