Product Description
Rayleigh Instruments RI-F400 is a DIN 96 panel-mounted multifunction energy meter from the easywire range, designed to provide fast and efficient electrical energy monitoring in industrial and commercial applications. The easywire system can reduce installation time by up to 90% compared with conventional meter and current transformer installations.
RI-F400 measures energy consumption and a range of electrical parameters. Its high-efficiency white backlit LCD provides clear visibility of measured values in all lighting conditions, while the front-mounted quick-select push-buttons allow easy access to the required display information.
The meter is housed in a compact DIN 96 enclosure designed for straightforward panel mounting, making it a practical solution for electrical monitoring and energy management applications.
