The difference between rail meters and wall-mounted meters

First,the smart Din-rail energy meter is designed to be relatively small and compact, usually in the shape of a rectangular block. It is installed on the rail and can be flexibly adjusted according to needs.

The smart wall-mounted electricity meter uses a flat design, has a relatively large appearance, and is fixed directly on the wall.

Secondly, Smart Din-rail energy meters are often used in distribution boxes in industrial, commercial and residential places. They are especially suitable for scenarios such as residential centralized meter boxes and factory distribution rooms where multiple meters need to be installed for metering management, facilitating centralized wiring and unified management.

Wall-mounted meters are more commonly used in independent metering scenarios, such as on the exterior walls of individual homes and small shops. They offer more flexible installation locations and do not require centralized installation in a dedicated distribution box.

Third, the two types of meters differ in their functionality:Smart Din-rail energy meters focus on basic energy measurement and data collection, typically equipped with RS485 communication interfaces to facilitate communication and data transmission with other devices, enabling remote meter reading and centralized monitoring.

In addition to basic metering functions, some wall-mounted meters also feature a richer range of local display and operation features, such as large LCD displays and push-button operation, allowing users to easily view data and perform simple settings locally.
