CIRCUTOR Panel-Mounted Multifunction Meter
CVM-C5 Multifunction Multimeter
The CIRCUTOR CVM-C5 is a compact 96 x 96 mm panel-mounted multifunction multimeter
that records energy values and supports four-quadrant measurement for consumption
and generation.
It is suitable for low-voltage installations in three-phase 3-wire, three-phase 4-wire,
two-phase, single-phase and ARON connection applications. The CVM-C5 is a practical
option for panel metering, energy cost visibility, CO2 indication and Modbus-based
energy monitoring.

Product Overview
CVM-C5 is designed for electrical panels that need a compact meter with clear local display
and energy-value recording. It shows electrical parameters, energy consumption, cost per kWh,
kgCO2 consumption / generation and operating hours for preventive maintenance reference.
The meter supports different current input versions, including conventional .../5 A or .../1 A
CT inputs, CIRCUTOR MC efficient current transformer inputs and .../333 mV transformer inputs.
This allows the correct model to be selected based on the site metering architecture and CT type.
Key positioning
CVM-C5 is a compact panel meter for energy value recording, local cost visibility,
CO2 indication, S0 pulse output, alarm output and optional RS-485 Modbus integration.
