1. Introduction
The SurgeX®Squid is a universal 120/240V, 12A@120V/10A@240V, AC and DC power distribution unit with
power conditioning, control and monitoring. Designed for flexibility, Squid’s compact form factor may be wall or table
mounted, or mounted against the face of an equipment rack. The internal web server provides configuration, output control,
monitoring, and retrieval of data logs. Multiple security and communication interface options are supported.
Squid incorporates SurgeX Multi-Stage surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering technology. This protection safeguards the
DC output power as well as the AC outlets.
The extensive programming capabilities of the Squid provide advanced sequencing and scheduling o p er at i on s.
Triggers can be programmed to activate on an “if X then do Y then do Z when no longer X”basis. Trigger sources include:
various AC power measurements, scheduling, a n d A u t o p i n g . Actions include: turning receptacles on and off, cycling
a receptacle, executing previously-defined sequences, and putting a unit into shutdown. For example, an action can be
created to power cycle a network appliance if it fails to respond to a ping.
Metering is performed at the system level, and includes:
•AC Line Voltage
•AC Neutral-Ground Voltage
•AC Current
•AC Power
•AC Line Frequency
•AC Power Factor
•AC Voltage Crest Factor
•AC Energy
Measurements (voltage, current and power) are true RMS. Thus, the current draw and energy consumption of non-linear
electronic loads which have a power factor of less than unity will be correctly reported.
Physical interfaces:
•[1] IEC320 C14 AC inlet
•[4] IEC320 C13 AC outlets
•[5] DC terminal blocks:
o[2] DC output 1 (either 12V or 24V, depending on model)
o[2] DC output 2 (either 12V or 24V, depending on model)
o[1] 5V DC output
•[2] USB-A 5V DC output (power only)
•[1] Network RJ-45
•[1] USB-micro AB
•[2] Recessed pushbuttons
The four AC outlets and two 12/24V DC output banks are individually controllable. It is also possible to toggle the AC input
to the AC/DC converter feeding the DC Output 1 and DC Output 2 banks through the REST API.

2. Installation
Squid is designed to be installed horizontally or vertically, mounted to a wall or table. It may also be mounted to the face of
an equipment rack. Use the integral mounting brackets to install Squid following the appropriate local regulations and
requirements. Four of the following minimum screw sizes must be used:
Minimum of #10 screw with no less than a 0.250” head diameter if using the (4) round holes.
Minimum of ¼-20”thread with no less than a 0.430”head diameter if using the slotted holes.
2.1 AC Power
Squid has a total of 4 AC receptacles. Each receptacle is rated for a maximum load of 12A (North America)/10A
(EU, Australia, South America), and the total load must not exceed 12A(10A). Plug the equipment cords into the
receptacles as needed. The receptacles are numbered 1 through 4. This same numbering is used in the control
interface.
Connect power to the unit using an appropriately rated 3 wire grounding type power cord into a suitable wall or
floor receptacle (120V, 12A North America; 240V, 10A EU, Australia, South America). Do not plug the unit into a
relocatable power tap. Check the outlet for correct polarity and presence of a ground conductor before plugging
the unit in.
2.2 DC Power
Connect DC equipment power cords to the five screw terminals using a small screwdriver. 5V power is also
available at the two USB-A receptacles for device charging. Each DC output bank incorporates overload protection.
Do not interconnect DC outputs.
Do not use a DC equipment power cord longer than 3m.
Do not load the DC outputs beyond these ratings:

2.3 Ethernet
The RJ45 connector for Ethernet is situated on the rear panel beside the Serial connector. The default IP Address is
DHCP assigned. To find IP address of the device, please use the discovery tool at ametekesp.com. The mDNS
protocol is supported for dynamic device discovery.
The default username is admin, and the default password is Adm1n-XXXXXX where XXXXXX are the last six
characters of the MAC address.

2.4 USB OTG
The USB-micro AB connector is for OOB diagnostics and troubleshooting IP connectivity issues. To use, please
use the discovery tool at ametekesp.com or manually enter the static IP address 169.254.10.100 into a supported
browser. The web server will always be accessible at 169.254.10.100 through this USB port. The web server on
this interface cannot be changed, and will always be unsecured HTTP at port 80.
3. LED Indicators
Squid has a total of nine LED Indicators:
•[4] AC Outlet. When illuminated, the corresponding AC outlet is on
•[2] DC Output. When illuminated, the corresponding DC output is on
•[2] Ethernet Connection and Activity
•[1] Surge Protection OK (on opposite side of pictured view)
4. Buttons
There are two recessed pushbuttons located to the right of the Ethernet RJ-45 jack. The Hardware Reset button is furthest
from the RJ-45 jack, and the Software Reset button is closest.
4.1 Hardware Reset
The Hardware Reset button performs a hard reboot of the processor. This hard reboot will immediately switch
controlled outlets off, removing power to connected equipment on all outputs except the 5V output.
4.2 Software Reset
The Software Reset button is a multi-functional control depending on length of press. If the button is help for greater
than 10 seconds, the unit resets itself to factory defaults, and all custom configurations are erased. If the button is
held for less than 10 seconds, the unit will perform a software reset that will not reset any data, or power cycle the
connected equipment.

5. Web Server
Squid’s internal web server provides a comprehensive portal for configuration, monitoring, and control.
5.1 Login
The Login page is the first page
displayed when a web browser
makes a connection to the Squid.
Enter a valid user name and password
in the “User Name” and “Password”
fields, and press “Login”to log in.
5.2 Power Management
The Power Management page
provides information and status for the
whole unit and individual outlets, as well
as basic control of outlets. The top
r i g h t section of the page provides
system status.
5.3 Reports
The Reports page displays data
collected by Squid, and stored to its
internal memory. The data is presented
in two groups: Time Stamped Events and
Historical Data.
Time Stamped Events are recorded, with
a date and time of occurrence, when a
condition meets established criteria.
Squid uses a Real Time Clock (RTC)
synced to an Internet time server, and
backed up by an internal battery. For the
most accurate time stamps and to eliminate
clock drift, we suggest verifying the NTP
connection.
