Why this
For 12 circuits: Electricity
Meter the circuit directly
The 120 A split-core CTs close around a cable up to 14 mm across and cover the circuit rating on each phase, so nothing has to be read from an existing meter.
The CTs arrive fitted and calibrated against this meter, so Class 0.5S covers the whole measurement rather than the meter alone.
They are fitted inside a live panel, so a qualified electrician does the work and confirms the phase arrangement and the voltage reference.
Single channel, battery powered, up to 4 Hz
Why this
For 1 meter: Natural gas
Count the meter’s pulse output
The battery-powered single-channel counter accepts pulses up to 4 Hz.
Pulses have to be at least 10 ms long with 10 ms between them, which is what sets the 4 Hz ceiling, and the input takes at most 35 V DC.
Dual channel, waterproof probes on 2.5 m cables
Why this
For 2 locations: Cold rooms, fridges and freezers
Measure two points on 2.5 m probes
Two points at one location, in a cold room, a freezer, a liquid or a damp area, on 2.5 m waterproof probes.
Waterproof probe, IP68. Holds ±0.2 °C from −20 to 70 °C, and ±0.5 °C down to −40 °C. In a freezer, mount the sensor outside and pass the lead through the door seal or a gland.
Gateway and software
Commercial, standard compute, Zigbee, Ethernet, EU power supply
Why this
One Gateway at each site
Every EpiSensor device reports over the Zigbee mesh to a Gateway, which runs Edge on site. One Gateway carries up to 250 devices.
Edge comes pre-installed and licensed for unlimited EpiSensor devices.
Optional
Engineering support for each Gateway, billed annually.
Why this
Optional engineering support
Direct access to EpiSensor engineers for commissioning questions, faults and firmware, for each Gateway.
Remote fleet management for each Gateway, billed annually.
Why this
Optional remote management
Core manages every Gateway from one place: health, updates, backups and remote access.

How the plan was chosen
Each of the 12 three-phase circuits is fed through a breaker rated 120 A or less, and every phase conductor fits a 14 mm aperture, so each circuit gets its own Wireless 3-Phase Electricity Monitor with 120 A split-core CTs. The CTs arrive fitted and calibrated to the monitor, so the Class 0.5S accuracy covers the whole measurement.
The gas meter has a pulse output that never exceeds 4 Hz at full flow, so a battery-powered pulse counter reads it without a supply at the meter. The meter is outside any hazardous zone, so the counter sits beside it.
Each freezer room has two waterproof probes on 2.5 m leads, read by one dual-channel temperature sensor mounted outside the room. The waterproof probe holds ±0.5 °C down to −40 °C.
Fifteen EpiSensor devices report over a Zigbee mesh to one ZGW-20 Gateway, which runs Edge on site. EpiSensor devices need no licence. Support and Core are optional.
