ROCHESTER, NY – The Scientific Columbus JEMStar electricity meter from AMETEK Power Instruments has been certified compliant to DNP 3.0 Level 2 – 2001 by Advanced Control Systems (ACS) of Norcross, GA.  DNP 3.0 Level 2 Certification ensures users that the JEMStar multifunctional revenue meter delivers exactly what it promises – DNP implementation done correctly.

Setting up and connecting to DNP devices is seldom simple. Users can never be certain if on a product that claims to have implemented the DNP 3.0 protocol, it has been done correctly.  Unless, they select a device that has been conformance tested and certified by an approved DNP User Group test facility.  By using a conformance tested device, such as the Scientific Columbus JEMStar electricity meter, users are ensured of the quality and level of the DNP 3.0 implementation.

Conformance testing dramatically reduces implementation time by making certain the device’s ability to operate with other DNP 3.0 tested devices.  To further reduce implementation time in SCADA, EMS, or DMS, AMETEK Power Instruments worked with ACS to develop an NTU IED data profile to make connections and communications setup easier.

AMETEK Power Instruments, a world leader in power measurement,developed the JEMStar electricity meter with the user in mind. It is simple to configure and use with very powerful capabilities.  It has made complicated metering a thing of the past. The multi-function meter can be summed up in two words: “Simply Powerful”.

Simple to use, yet powerful in its capabilities, the JEMStar electricity meter bridges the gap between the high-accuracy, multifunction meters with expensive price tags and more basic meters that merely meet budget constraints. The “Simply Powerful” JEMStar offers the most-cost effective metering solution for the new era of electric power de-regulation. 

The Scientific Columbus JEMStar meter is available from AMETEK Power Instruments, a unit of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electric motors.
