Single Phase Monitoring Node - SPN
Single Phase Node (SPN) Technology from C-Matic Systems provides you with accurate, flexible,
modular, scalable final circuit monitoring ideally suited for use in data centres were total understanding
of your energy use essential.
The SPN is integrated by C-Matic Systems into large building Power & Energy
Management systems utilising the PowerLogic® ION
Enterprise software.
SPN DatasheetAt the heart of the system is the NODE the fundamental energy metering device. Each node is capable of measuring
RMS Voltage (live – neutral) (Volts), RMS Current (Amps), Power Factor (%), Apparent Power (kVA), Active Power (kW), Reactive Power (kVAr), Apparent Energy (kVAh), Active Energy (kWh) and Reactive Energy (kVArh). Each node is capable of delivering Class 1 energy measurement calculated from RMS voltages from 20-297 Volts and RMS Currents from as low as 100mA up to 63A.

For installation within a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) C-Matic Systems offer the SOLID CT SPN.
Individual nodes are mounted within a CARRIER STRIP that is designed to be mounted adjacent to the pan assembly.
Two such carrier strips are typically fitted to the pan assembly and connected back to an INTELLIGENT LINK CONTROLLER (ILC). |

Flexibility
SPN Technology covers a range of products to suit the unique requirements of your installation.
SPN-Split
| In situations where it is not possible to mount the carrier strip adjacent to the pan assembly C-Matic Systems offer the SPLIT CT SPN. This solution is particularly suited to enhancing existing PDUs with final circuit monitoring. The carrier strips containing the nodes can be mounted along with the intelligent link controller at a convenient location. Each node uses a remote split core CT that can be attached to the circuit of interest. |  |
 |
SPN-RPM
| If final circuit monitoring is required within each data cabinet instead of in the power distribution unit then C-Matic Systems offer the REMOTE POWER METER (RPM). One or more RPMs can be mounted within each data cabinet to monitor incoming electrical feeds. Each RPM is then connected via a standard CAT5e cable to a 1U rack mounting INTELLIGENT MARSHALLING UNIT (IMU), which like the ILC provides and interface to the rest of your energy management infrastructure. |  |

SPN-Variant 4
For improved integration and easier installation C-Matic Systems have developed the Intelligent Carrier Controller (ICC). The ICC takes all of the features of the intelligent link controller and integrates them with the carrier strip installed along side the pan assembly within the PDU. The ICC is connected using CAT5e cable to a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) capable router to provide seamless integration with the rest of your energy management systems.Modular and Scalable
To cater for different pan assembly sizes C-Matic Systems offer carrier strips in the following lengths; 12 nodes, 18 nodes, 21 nodes,
24 nodes and 27 nodes. For installations that require sizes not listed here then we can offer carrier strips with empty locations, for example
a 9 way carrier can be achieved with a 12 way carrier with 3 locations linked out.
For PDUs with larger or multiple pan assemblies it is possible to fit several standard intelligent link controllers and carrier
strips sets to meet your requirements.
