ATEN NRGence EC1000 Energy Box PDU Monitoring Unit

Monitor voltage, current, power, energy, and power factor across your entire ATEN eco PDU deployment with the EC1000 Energy Box, a network-enabled monitoring unit that delivers real-time power metrics over IP. With support for up to 256,000 data records and threshold-based alerts via email or SNMP trap, this compact device turns raw PDU data into actionable energy intelligence.

Overview

The ATEN EC1000 is a dedicated energy measurement device designed to work seamlessly with ATEN's eco PDU series, including PE and PD models. It connects to compatible PDUs via a USB Type-B interface and provides a single RJ-45 Ethernet port for remote access. Once connected, the EC1000 continuously monitors key electrical parameters: voltage (V), current (A), power (kW), energy (kWh), and power factor (PF). This data is accessible through a web-based GUI, allowing facility managers and IT administrators to track energy usage from anywhere on the network.
