Smarter EV monitoring with the new DMED4DC2 remote display
As electric vehicle infrastructure expands across the UK and Europe, accurate and accessible energy monitoring has become essential for EV charging station manufacturers, installers and operators.
To support this growing demand, LOVATO Electric has expanded its range of accessories for EV energy meters with the launch of the new DMED4DC2 remote display.
Designed specifically for DC energy meters used in electric vehicle charging stations, the DMED4DC2 allows operators and technicians to view key measurement data remotely from outside the charging station enclosure, improving accessibility, safety and maintenance efficiency.
What is the DMED4DC2 remote display?
The DMED4DC2 is a compact remote display designed to work with LOVATO Electric DMED4 DC energy meters for EV charging stations.
Installed externally, the display allows users to view energy meter readings without opening the charging station, making it ideal for environments where accessibility and quick diagnostics are essential.
The unit integrates an RS485 communication port with Modbus-RTU protocol, ensuring seamless connectivity and compatibility within EV charging infrastructure systems.
“As EV charging infrastructure continues to grow, visibility of energy data becomes increasingly important for manufacturers, installers and operators.”
