The Socomec COUNTIS AM10 energy meter gives you accurate kWh measurement on single-phase circuits without taking up valuable panel space. This compact modular meter is designed for single-phase 230 V ±15% networks and is used for direct connections up to 32 A, making it a practical choice for sub-metering individual circuits in distribution boards across commercial buildings, retail units, and light industrial facilities. The COUNTIS AM10 is a self-powered active energy meter with pulse output, so it slots into a standard 35 mm DIN rail, measures consumption, and feeds data to your monitoring system with no auxiliary supply required.

Key features
Compact single-module DIN rail design
At just one DIN module wide, the COUNTIS AM10 occupies minimal space on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. That matters when you are retrofitting metering into an existing distribution board where spare ways are tight. The compact footprint means you can add sub-meters to monitor individual tenants or departments without reconfiguring the panel layout.
Pulse output for energy data collection
The pulse output on the COUNTIS AM10 transmits kWh consumption data as electrical pulses to a building management system (BMS), PLC, or dedicated pulse concentrator. This is a straightforward method of integrating a meter into a wider energy monitoring system without requiring RS485 or Modbus communication, which are found on more advanced COUNTIS models. For sites building out their metering infrastructure in stages, pulse output keeps things simple while still providing the data you need for energy cost allocation and reporting.
IEC 62053-21 class 1 accuracy
The meter complies with IEC 62053-21, the international standard for static watt-hour meters in AC networks. A class 1 rating means measurement error stays within ±1% across the specified load range under IEC 62053-21, suitable for internal energy management and cost allocation. The metrological LED provides visual confirmation that the meter is actively registering energy flow.
Typical applications
The Socomec COUNTIS AM10 suits any application where you need to monitor kWh consumption on a single-phase circuit at up to 32 A. Common uses include electrical sub-metering in commercial premises, energy cost allocation across tenants or departments, and single-phase load monitoring within distribution boards. The pulse output also makes it straightforward to integrate into a broader building energy management system.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum current rating of the Socomec COUNTIS AM10?
The COUNTIS AM10 supports direct connection up to 32 A on single-phase 230 V ±15% networks. It is a self-powered meter, so no separate auxiliary supply is needed.
What standard does the COUNTIS AM10 comply with?
The meter is rated to IEC 62053-21 class 1 for active energy measurement, the recognised international standard for static watt-hour meters in AC networks.
What is the pulse output on the COUNTIS AM10 used for?
The pulse output transmits kWh data as electrical pulses to a BMS, PLC, or pulse concentrator, allowing the meter to feed into a wider energy monitoring setup without digital communication protocols.
