PS24FX-C-D-N-D — PowerScout FLEX 24 Multi-Circuit Power Submeter
The Dent Instruments PS24FX-C-D-N-D is part of the PowerScout FLEX 24 family, DENT's next-generation 24-channel multi-circuit submeter that replaces the PowerScout™ HD. The PS24FX-C-D-N-D measures voltage, current, power, energy, and many other electrical parameters on any combination of single- and three-phase loads — up to 8 three-phase or 24 single-phase circuits across two voltage references — making it well suited to high-density tenant submetering, bi-directional metering, and real-time monitoring across commercial and industrial facilities.
The PS24FX-C-D-N-D delivers revenue-grade performance with continuous 7.2 kHz sampling (no blind cycles), a 1-second parameter update rate, and ANSI C12.1-2024 Class 0.2 accuracy when paired with an appropriate CT. It supports both BACnet and Modbus, includes four digital pulse inputs and a 12 VDC auxiliary output, and provides RS-485 serial and Ethernet as standard. Setup is handled through FLEXPoint™ PC software or the browser-based FLEXPoint™ GO web server, and DENT's patented PhaseChek™ circuitry (U.S. Patent 7,612,552) confirms correct CT orientation during commissioning.
This model ships as a DENTCloud™-enabled unit: the PS24FX-C-D-N-D is factory-provisioned for direct connectivity to the subscription-free DENTCloud™ platform, giving authorized users remote access to real-time and historical metering data through any web browser without adding a separate gateway.
Built as a UL-Listed ABS enclosure, the PS24FX-C-D-N-D is delivered in the Enclosure configuration with the TouchSSā™ high-voltage cover for an added layer of protection. Like all PowerScout meters, the PS24FX-C-D-N-D operates as an endpoint that reports to a building management system, RTU, data acquisition device, or DENTCloud™ host rather than as a standalone recorder.
Best for
- High-density tenant and accountability submetering — up to 24 circuits from one device
- Bi-directional metering for solar, wind, and other renewable or storage interconnections
- Monitoring building mains, HVAC, pumps, motors, and equipment loads
- Multi-circuit measurement using Virtual Meters to group the PS24FX-C-D-N-D's 24 channels by load
- Hospitals, data centers, and government projects requiring Made in USA / BAA / TAA equipment
Key Features
DENTCloud™ Enabled
The PS24FX-C-D-N-D is factory-enabled for direct connectivity to the subscription-free DENTCloud™ platform, giving authorized users remote access to real-time and historical metering data from any web browser without a separate gateway.
FLEXPoint™ + FLEXPoint™ GO
Configure the PS24FX-C-D-N-D from a rebuilt PC application or directly from any web browser with FLEXPoint GO — no software install required for on-site changes, validation, and field troubleshooting.
Flexible Virtual Meters
Assign any of the 24 CT channels to any load in any combination — single-phase, split-phase, or three-phase groupings — and meter multiple loads from a single PS24FX-C-D-N-D with consistent load labels across software, the LCD, register exports, and cloud systems.
Dual-Protocol + 4 Pulse Inputs
The PS24FX-C-D-N-D speaks both BACnet and Modbus over RS-485 and Ethernet, adds four digital pulse inputs for gas, water, or other meters, and uses an IEEE-754 floating-point register map that flattens all Virtual Meters to a single address.
PhaseChek™ + Revenue-Grade Accuracy
Built-in PhaseChek verification confirms correct CT orientation and phase matching to reduce installation errors, while the PS24FX-C-D-N-D meets ANSI C12.1-2024 Class 0.2 revenue-grade accuracy (dependent on CT selection).
Universal CT Compatibility
Mix and match a full range of 333.3 mV CTs — Solid Core, Split Core, or RōCoil™ (Rogowski) — including revenue-grade options, measuring up to 4000 A depending on the CT used with the PS24FX-C-D-N-D.
