Wireless Power & Environmental Sensors
Sensors are the front-line measurement devices in any energy monitoring deployment — the transducers that convert physical phenomena (current, voltage, temperature, humidity, CO₂) into the digital signals that meters, gateways, and analytics platforms work with. Unlike full revenue-grade meters, sensors are typically lower-cost, smaller form-factor, and designed for high-density deployment across hundreds of circuits or zones in a building. Emergent Metering's sensors catalog covers three product families: self-powered wireless current sensors (Panoramic Power PAN-10, PAN-12, PAN-14, PAN-42) for circuit-level electric monitoring without conduit or shutdowns; split-core current transformers from 100A to 4000A that extend any 0–5A input meter to higher service sizes; and wireless environmental sensors from Optergy for HVAC zone temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality monitoring.
A typical sensor-based deployment places transducers at the measurement point (a branch circuit, a chilled-water riser, a return-air duct) and aggregates their data through a local gateway before forwarding to a building management system or cloud platform. Panoramic Power wireless sensors transmit via 2.4 GHz mesh to a Gen 4+ Bridge or other [cellular router](/products/cellular-router), which can then expose readings over Modbus TCP to a Tridium JACE or AcquiSuite [data acquisition server](/products/integration-controllers) for BMS integration, or push directly to PowerRadar for cloud analytics. Environmental sensors typically run on LoRaWAN or BACnet/MSTP and integrate with the same controllers. Current transformers are wired (not networked) — they feed analog 0–5A secondary signals into the input terminals of a host meter, which then handles all communications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between a wireless sensor and a traditional meter?
- A wireless sensor is a single-purpose transducer — typically self-powered, snap-on, and designed for non-invasive installation on existing circuits or pipes. It transmits one or two measurements (current, temperature) to a separate gateway that handles aggregation and uplink. A traditional meter is a more capable instrument with its own display, multiple measurement channels (kWh, kW, power factor, demand), revenue-grade accuracy class, and direct Modbus or BACnet output. Sensors are ideal for high-density deployments; meters are preferred for billing and main-service measurement.
- Which sensor should I choose for circuit-level submetering?
- For branch circuits up to 63A, the Panoramic Power PAN-10 is the lowest-cost option and installs in under a minute per circuit without de-energizing the panel. For larger branch circuits and distribution panels up to 225A, choose the PAN-12. For main service entrances and any high-current feeder, the PAN-14 paired with an appropriately sized split-core current transformer (100A–4000A) covers any service size. For revenue-grade billing accuracy, step up to the PAN-42 power meter.
- How do wireless sensors connect to my BMS or cloud platform?
- Wireless sensors transmit to a local gateway — for Panoramic Power, that's the Gen 4+ Bridge, which supports LAN, WiFi, and 4G LTE backhaul. The bridge forwards data to the PowerRadar cloud over HTTPS, and simultaneously exposes a local Modbus TCP server that a Tridium JACE, AcquiSuite, or any BACnet/Modbus-capable BMS controller can poll directly. Environmental sensors typically use LoRaWAN to a Milesight or Robustel gateway, then bridge to BACnet/IP via a JACE for integration into Niagara-based building automation systems.
