Energy & Power Measurement Solutions
Monitoring 48 individual circuits on any combination of single-phase and three-phase systems, this multi-circuit power submeter delivers revenue-grade Class 0.2 accuracy for tenant billing and facility energy tracking. Its four-line display reports live values at the panel, while a tamper-evident seal switch supports CTEP certified commercial weights and measures installations.

PowerScout™ FLEX 48 is Dent's multi-circuit submeter engineered for faster setup, smarter commissioning, and clearer system insight. Replacing the PowerScout™ HD, FLEX simplifies installation, enhances configuration workflows, and delivers accurate, real-time data across a wide range of electrical environments. Whether deploying in the field or overseeing large-scale facilities, FLEX provides the flexibility, performance, and control today's teams need.
FLEXPoint™ configuration software provides a modern interface, guided workflows that reduce setup time, and smarter defaults that eliminate guesswork. FLEXPoint™ GO adds a browser-based web server that configures the meter from any browser with no installation required, suiting quick changes, onsite validation, and field troubleshooting. Virtual Meters assign any CT channel to any load in any combination, so single-phase, split-phase, or three-phase groupings can be created and labelled to match how the site is organized, and those labels follow through to the display, the register data, and the cloud.
