MClimate 16A Switch & Power Meter LoRaWAN (16ASPM)
Overview
The MClimate 16ASPM is a compact smart relay with integrated energy measurement, designed for remote monitoring and control of electrical devices via LoRaWAN. It combines convenience, automation, and data insight in a single device while incorporating safety features to protect both users and connected equipment.
Key Features
-
Remote switching of electrical devices with real-time energy monitoring.
-
LoRaWAN connectivity for long-range, low-power wireless communication.
-
Compact design for DIN-rail or electrical panel installation.
-
Automation integration with other sensors and smart devices.
-
Built-in safety mechanisms to prevent overloads and electrical hazards.
Safety Features
The MClimate 16ASPM is designed with multiple layers of safety to ensure reliable and secure operation in a building or industrial environment:
-
Overcurrent Protection: The relay can safely handle up to 16A AC or 10A DC. Attempting to exceed this limit is prevented by the device’s internal protections, reducing the risk of overheating, fire, or equipment damage.
-
Electrical Isolation: The relay provides isolation between the control electronics and the high-voltage load, protecting the LoRaWAN circuitry from electrical faults.
-
Temperature Safety: The device is built to operate safely within a defined temperature range, ensuring that it does not overheat during continuous operation.
-
Safe Installation Requirements: The 16ASPM is intended for mounting in electrical cabinets or on DIN rails, keeping it enclosed and away from accidental contact.
-
Load Monitoring and Alerts: Continuous monitoring of current and power allows the system to detect abnormal conditions. If a device draws too much power, automated alerts can notify operators to take corrective action before damage occurs.
Applications
The device is suitable for environments where both monitoring and safety are important:
-
HVAC Systems: Safely control pumps, boilers, and fans, ensuring they do not exceed electrical limits.
-
Lighting and Appliances: Protect circuits while providing remote control and energy monitoring.
-
Energy Management: Identify abnormal consumption or potential electrical issues to prevent hazards.
-
Smart Automation: Integrate with sensors to automatically shut off devices in unsafe conditions, such as overheating or excessive current draw.
Integration and Automation
When paired with other sensors or smart building systems, the 16ASPM can form a safety-aware automation network. For example, if a pump starts consuming excessive current, the system can automatically cut power and send a notification. This proactive approach protects equipment, reduces downtime, and increases overall building safety.
Benefits
-
Enhances safety through overcurrent protection and load monitoring.
-
Reduces risk of electrical faults and damage to equipment.
-
Provides remote monitoring and alerts for abnormal conditions.
-
Supports intelligent automation to prevent unsafe operation.
-
Enables safe and efficient energy management in smart buildings.
Conclusion
The MClimate 16ASPM is more than just a smart switch; it is a safety-conscious IoT device. Its protective features, combined with energy monitoring and automation capabilities, make it ideal for environments where both efficiency and safety are critical. By providing real-time insight into electrical loads, automatically detecting unsafe conditions, and integrating into smart building systems, it ensures both operational reliability and peace of mind.
