⚡ Benefits for you
- Less manual work. Readings can be collected automatically once a compatible system is connected and configured.
- Built-in PLC modem. Data travels through the electrical wiring.
- Readings available on site. The LCD shows accumulated electricity consumption.
- Suitable for single-phase premises. An option for apartments, private homes, small shops and offices with matching connection requirements.
❓ Frequently asked questions about the EX18
Click or tap a question to reveal the answer ↓
What is the main benefit of the EX18 with PLC?
It combines electricity metering with data transmission through existing electrical wiring. Once connected to a compatible, configured metering system, it can reduce the need to collect readings manually.
What does PLC mean?
PLC stands for Power Line Communication. The meter sends data through electrical wiring to a compatible concentrator, which collects readings and forwards them to the metering system.
Does the meter need home Wi-Fi or a SIM card for PLC?
No. The PLC connection itself uses electrical wiring, so it does not require home Wi-Fi or a SIM card in the meter. The concentrator’s onward connection is handled by the wider metering system.
Is a separate communication cable needed from the meter?
No separate communication cable is needed for the PLC link between the meter and a compatible concentrator. Data signals travel through the existing power wiring.
Can I read consumption directly on the meter?
Yes. The LCD shows accumulated electricity consumption, allowing you to check readings on site as well as use remote collection where the system is connected.
Is the EX18 suitable for an apartment or small shop?
Yes, for premises with a single-phase 220 V supply and matching installation requirements. The version described in the article has a maximum current rating of 60 A; selection must also account for the wiring, protection and authorised supply capacity.
What does the 10(60) A marking mean?
10 A is the basic current rating, and 60 A is the maximum current rating. The marking describes the meter’s electrical rating; it does not mean the meter continuously consumes that current.
Can the meter help me monitor electricity costs?
Yes. Record readings at regular intervals and subtract the previous value from the current one to track consumption. This helps you compare usage and plan expenses, although the meter itself does not reduce the electricity used by appliances.
What should I prepare before ordering?
Prepare the electricity supplier’s requirements, a photograph of the existing meter and details of the installation. These help confirm the appropriate EX18 version, PLC compatibility and connection procedure before purchase.
How PLC works
The EX18 measures electricity consumption. Its built-in modem sends data through the power wiring to a concentrator, which collects the information and forwards it to the metering system. Communication quality depends on the electrical network and equipment compatibility.
