VOLTCRAFT SEM5000 DUAL Energy Cost Meter with Data Logger, Cost Forecast, Alarm VC-14516985

The VOLTCRAFT SEM5000 DUAL stands out by combining dual-tariff energy cost tracking with a built-in data logger and Bluetooth connectivity, making it far more than a simple plug-in power meter. While basic meters only show instantaneous readings, this device records up to 100,000 measured values, calculates cost forecasts, and alerts you to overloads—all manageable from your smartphone.

Highlights

• Dual tariff support for accurate cost calculation based on time-of-use rates
• Integrated data logger stores up to 100,000 measurements (approx. 6 months at 10-second intervals)
• Bluetooth connectivity with free Voltcraft Energy Logger app (iOS/Android) for remote monitoring and configuration
• True RMS measurement for precise readings even with non-linear loads
• Overload warning and programmable alarm to protect connected devices
• Large LCD display for clear on-device readings

In daily use

Plug the SEM5000 DUAL into any Schuko socket and connect your appliance to start measuring voltage, current, power, and energy consumption in real time. The meter calculates costs based on your electricity tariff, including separate day and night rates if you have a dual-tariff contract. Use the app to view historical data, set cost forecasts, and receive alerts when power exceeds a defined threshold. The low self-consumption of under 0.5 W ensures the meter itself doesn't skew your measurements.
